Bats have definitely gone cold. We need to wake up and start playing good baseball again.

Left the bases loaded something like 4 times tonight. Couldn't get a timely hit early on. Broke through late but that game stayed too close for far too long.

Lamar is a quality team, top 60 in RPI.

With the win, Texas has secured a top 8 RPI for the season. Not the end all, be all for seeding but a metric that will be looked at for sure. Of course, we want a strong finish, a conference championship and a seed much better than 8th.
