I think it's seating capacity, but the field itself is pretty nice, I've played there. Apparently they were going to try to get Harbor Park, where the AAA Tides play, but couldn't make it happen.Is there a problem with ODU stadium? Why are they playing in Columbia as the seeded team?
Thank you!I think it's seating capacity, but the field itself is pretty nice, I've played there. Apparently they were going to try to get Harbor Park, where the AAA Tides play, but couldn't make it happen.
Anyway, 2 #1 seeds for CUSA, with ODU leading the nation in HRs. They hit #101 last night in the 10th inning to beat La Tech.
Jacksonville was 11-30 entering their conference tourney.Duke baseball. 9 seed in the ACC tournament. What a Cinderella.
Why do you want to tire out the Hogs hitters?I hope NJ Tech loses by 30 runs to Arkansas this week.
Oh they can put their bench guys in for the remaining innings. Just pummel them into the ground, please.Why do you want to tire out the Hogs hitters?
I'm very sure they plan on doing exactly that. Why the hate for NJT?Oh they can put their bench guys in for the remaining innings. Just pummel them into the ground, please.
They pulled some gamesmenship to avoid finishing the conference tournament on the field.I'm very sure they plan on doing exactly that. Why the hate for NJT?

Very cool. Thanks. I'll be following.FWIW, my baseball buddy and I are forecasting the regionals based on our NCAA D1 Elo ratings...
Fayetteville Regional: (1) Arkansas, 76% chance of advancing (2) Nebraska, 10% (3) Northeastern, 12% (4) NJIT, 2%
Ruston Regional: (1) Louisiana Tech, 35% (2) NC State, 44% (3) Alabama, 16% (4) Rider, 5%
Stanford Regional: (1) Stanford, 36.7% (2) UC Irvine, 37.4% (3) Nevada, 15% (4) North Dakota State, 11% -- our Elo ratings have Irvine several places above Stanford, but home field advantage closes almost the entire gap.
Feel free to follow along, as we'll keep doing so through the CWS: @collegesplits

That's awful.Fairfield's best player is out for the NCAA's due to a broken jaw after being hit by a pitch in practice this week. Awful news.

Columbia Regional: (1) Old Dominion, 51% (2) South Carolina*, 26% (3) Virginia, 20% (4) Jacksonville, 3% This is the one regional with a 2-seed as host. ODU is 8th in our rankings, so they're a fairly comfortable favorite even without home field advantage.Anything for Columbia regional?
Excellent decision on her part. You now join @ibrewbeer in the JMU parents club. I’m still waiting for my first fellow alum to join SoSH.EDIT: My daughter will be attending JMU as a freshman this fall.
