Rice is 24-29-2 and is the 7 seed.
Team ERA: 4.48
Runs Per Game: 5.1
Team BA: .276
Team OBP: .369
SB: 37
Errors: 65
The Owls split last weekend at FIU. Final game was rained out.
Tech swept Rice in Ruston back in March outscoring the Owls 21-9.
Ford Proctor is hitting .346 with 7 home runs and 37 RBI. He'll be a high MLB Draft pick in a couple of weeks.
Ryan Chandler will be in CF, he's hitting .347 with 13 extra base hits in 2018. He's the lone player with any speed and has 13 stolen bases.
Dominic DiCaprio missed the series in Ruston due to injury, but has returned to the lineup. He's only played in 20 games all year and is hitting .224 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI. He's an all-league guy when he's healthy.
Matt Canterino will likely get the start. He's a fastball, slider guy. Fastball can get up to 94-95. He tossed 7 innings of 2 run ball against FIU on Friday while striking out 8. For the year, he has thrown 89 innings and has a 3.03 era. He has only allowed 62 hits, struck out 111, and walked 19. Tech roughed him up for 6 runs on 9 hits in four innings in Ruston on March 16th.
If they end up announcing someone else as the starter, I'll get a report on whoever it may be. Right-hander, Addison Moss could be the guy, but he didn't pitch in Ruston due to injury.
Rice won the conference tournament a year ago as the 6 seed I believe.
This is it for Wayne Graham as a HC, it's win this tournament or go home. He'll ride his arms all weekend. If he needs Canterino for 140 pitches, that's what he'll do. Just his style. Just a reminder, Graham is 82 years of age with over 1,150 career wins, 21 conference titles, and 1 national championship in 2003.
Rice is probably more talented than Tech, especially on the mound.
As good as Tech has been all year, there is obviously more work to do this week in Biloxi. Two wins and you sweat it out on Selection Monday. Three wins and you are likely into the Field of 64.
I'll answer any questions that any of you may have.
