Wanted to put up a new thread for today’s baseball game.

Arkansas -2.5 runs
Arkansas went 20-10 in the SEC and won a share of the league title despite ranking in the bottom half of the league (in conference games only) in batting average, slugging, on-base percentage and runs scored. The Hogs ranked second in ERA (4.82) and fourth in opponent batting average (.252)
Very cool video.
I’m a little confused…if the betting line is Arkansas +2.5 runs, that would mean SCU is favored to win. I would’ve bet a lot of money that SCU would be the underdog.
Edit: I see rednwhite changed the original post to -2.5…and looks like the live line has moved even further. I might have to nibble on that bet, but I normally don’t bet on teams I have an affinity for…
I’m seeing scu +3.5. Which is tied for the 6th highest line out of the 32 games today.
that’s what I would’ve figured…we’d be huge underdogs to an SEC squad playing at home
my bad! don’t gamble that often.
“Santa Clara is the best 4-seed in the country”
up 2 after 1 inning, full time surely ump
Looks like Jalen will be wearing Arkansas gear at a game next season.
Good early showing by SCU. It’s a double-elimination bracket, I believe, so still a chance to hang on.
Broncos fell to Arkansas 13-6. Play Atizona tonight in an elimination game.
It wasn’t a good day for our pitching staff as 10 walks were issued. You’re just not going to win games when you allow that many free passes.
On a positive note, the boys came out swinging the bats and the offense wasn’t the issue yesterday. Lets hope that carries into tonight vs UofA. Pitching needs to be much better if we are to play tomorrow.
GO BRONCOS!!!
There was a weather delay but game finally got underway.
So far so good…SCU 3 UA 0
Thru 5 innings
SCU extends lead in top of 6th.
Brigman RBI single
O’Hara 2 run HR
Broncos lead 6-0!!
Pilchard…5 IP, 1 H, 3 K, 1 BB
Solid thus far!!
I wonder if the Mildcats are growing weary of SCU knocking them out of NCAA tourneys! (hope I didn’t jinx it)
Buckets…I will go out on a limb and say no jinx tonight!!
Broncos add another run in the 7th on a solo shot by DH Lance and looking for more with runners on.
SCU 7…UA 0
It will be interesting to see if Arkansas/TCU is played tonight or moved to tomorrow. You have to think it benefits SCU to see game played tonight.
Quick turnaround for the loser!2
I thought I heard the announcers say that Ark/TCU is tomorrow
Will be nice catching the loser out of the winners bracket on a double header.
Hope we can close this out!
Well done Broncos!!
Live to play another day.
SCU 9…UA 3
9-3 win for our boys! Very proud of the spanking they gave UofA, sending them back to Tucson with their (tiger?) tails between their legs.
TCU is spanking Arkansas 14-1 going into the bottom of the 3rd inning. One of the Horned Frog players has already hit 2 grand slams. They just put the game into a weather delay, so perhaps the Razorbacks will be exhausted for the game against our Broncos.
