SIU looked good early and I turned it off:(
5-1 lead goes by the boards. Tied at 5 going to the 11th. Team will fight this year, but they’ll have to win the conference tournament to get in…which they can do.

Salukis score 3 in the 11th and are 3 outs away from beating the Racers on ESPN+
Valiant win in 11! Rog comes through, and McDaniel is a horse in the pen. Good to see!

Nice win at Evansville. Down 4-2 going into the 8th, the Salukis score 12 runs in the last 2 innings to get a 14-4 win.
Big win for SIU Baseball at a SEMO team that was #40 in RPI
Big win! Take these games this weekend. No gimmes. Gotta play good sound baseball against lesser competition to get ready for Baptist in 10 days. Gotta play flawless ball to beat Baptist. I’ve watched them on espn plus a couple times…this might be their best team we’ve seen.

Originally, a bad Siena team was supposed to play here Thurs. and Fri. night.
(Comeon Lance! You can schedule better than that. Certainly won't draw a big crowd.)
Now the schedule says TBA!
Edwardsville St. plays here Saturday. Hope we squash them like a windshield grasshopper!
Our RPI is up to 117. BTW, the Illini team we beat 2 of 3 is 7 - 2 in the B10 and in 2nd place. Northwestern, who whoppppped us, is in 3rd at 4 - 2.
1 Indiana State 5-1 19-9 74
2 Dallas Baptist 3-0 22-10 2
3 Southern Illinois 4-2 24-9 117
4 Evansville 1-2 16-16 108
4 Illinois State 1-2 12-15 136
4 Bradley 1-2 9-17 158
7 Missouri State 0-3 14-14 97

Definitely need to focus on getting better non-con competition on the schedule next season, if SIU wants a shot at an at large bid to the Tournament.
Scheduling is a tricky deal in any sport trying to guess who will be good or schedule tougher opponents could be just as damning an trying to get someone to Carbondale is usually tough in any sport I am sure they are trying their best to schedule tough and build a program but I do like the direction the team is headed
Dawgs 8 Cougs 3 after 4 - rain/thunder/lightning delay here. Doubt they finish this game tonight. Bad radar.
Rough cancelation:
