Final series of the regular season this weekend for the Diamond Dogs at home against UTSA.

Thursday - 6 PM
Friday - 6 PM
Saturday - 12 PM

All 3 games will be on CUSA.tv/SportsTalk97.7 FM.

Five seniors will be playing their final home games: Fincher, Matulia, Tomkins, Burchfield, and Knight

UTSA is the 2-seed for the conference tournament next weekend, and their at-large dreams are over.

D1 Baseball this morning on the RoadRunners, “UTSA was cruising right along and was firmly on the sunny side of the bubble watch conversation a week ago. Heading into their weekend series against Dallas Baptist in San Antonio between a pair of Top 25-ranked teams, the Roadrunners had a perfect opportunity to take their postseason fate in their own hands with a series win. That wasn’t meant to be, as DBU swept UTSA whose RPI is now 60. Although they’re still firmly secured as the second-place team in Conference USA, it’s more obvious that UTSA needs to win the conference tournament for a spot in the postseason.”

Tech can finish anywhere from 3rd to 7th in the conference standings. With that said, is there a major difference in any spot? Probably not, you have to win the tourney either way. I’d prefer to play WKU first round, honestly.

Will Tech play to win? Obviously, but I don’t think you’ll see Bates going 5 innings or anyone getting pushed absurdly hard on the mound. They’ll do that next week.

Let’s gooooo!!!
