Gents, after yesterday's nearly perfect 5-0, 2-hitter gem, we are 6-13 (27-16 overall) and on our first 3-game winning streak since before conference play began. Gage Jump and Christian Little pitched a nearly perfect 2-hitter, possibly our best SEC game this year. And note: zero free passes last night, walks or hit batters. This has been a problem this year (4.95 per game) but not last night.
And now we have Luke Holman (6-3, 2.78 ERA, 55.0 IP, 18 BB, 79 SO) on the mound tonight. We need a bounce back game big time.
With our improving record and an RPI now at #34, we are not out of this yet. Win tonight and find a way to win tomorrow and we will be 8-13 with 9 games left, 6 of which are at home against beatable ole miss and bama. And with Gage and Holman pitching the first two games, we have a shot in College Station as well. Geaux Tigers.
