Not helping my anxiety any. Hoping for 3 innings or so of good Stevens, but he hasn't looked great this weekend.

Didn’t make feel better either. He has given up a lot of home runs and that park doesn’t hold the ball well.

Both teams been giving them up. After the first two games I expect a shootout. That probably means a pitcher’s duel.

Personally, I think Stevens tried to do too much by sacrificing his role as a starter to go into the pen to offer himself as an option.  Tristan pitches well when he gets into a rhythm.  Often when he's been called upon out of the pen, he's put into a situation that requires stressful pitches to be thrown right out of the chute.  

Get back to the starting role, and settle in.  If we can get 4 out him, great.  Anything more is house money.

Also, buckle up.  This game is likely to be a roller coaster ride.

ND has upset #1 seed TN in Knoxville and will go to Omaha.  ND will get the winner of the Greenville Regional.

Weather delay BTW for lightning. No start time announced yet but coaches and officials talking on the field. Hopefully we are looking at 30-1hr

We're in a weather delay in Greenville.  No word just yet on start time.

Hodo leadoff IF single, Kennedy walk, Melendez 3-run HR gives Horns a 3-0 lead.

Stehly is HBP

That's it for the ECU starter.  They go to the pen

I’m glad Ivan is on our team.

Pitching will be a battle of attrition today and Texas strikes first, chasing an arm without registering an out.

Messinger RBI single to LF gives Horns the 4-0 lead with 1 out
