Pinch-hit 3 run homer with 1 out in the 9th by Noah Cook ties it at 14 but someone doesn't touch home plate so it's 14-13. Unreal.
Here's the gif of Cook not touching home plate (if he didn't)
And the Salukis lose 14-13 on that and fall to 2-3. Just an unreal bad week from Saluki Athletics.
Would love to hear response from the players or coach. That’s insane

I would say that Cook made it very close to the point where I can't tell whether or not he touched it based on the ESPN+ angle (there was no replays). The ump is right there and has the best angle of it.
Rhodes did get ejected right after it.
It looked close from the video replays - certainly not obvious that he missed the plate. I would've had some choice words for that ump, too, if I were Rhodes.
Here's to this giving us some good karma for the rest of the season.
The Salukis are off to a disappointing start given pre-season projections. They’re going to have to pick up some key wins if they’re going to be in post season talks. Let’s Go Dawgs!
Florida Atlantic transfer Loden has been on fire so far this year. 2 homers today:

Salukis hold on and win but pitching needs to get better

Pitching continues to be a problem. Salukis have allowed 12 runs in 8 innings against Jacksonville State.
Yeah so pitching is somehow worse than last year…not good. If they don’t get this figured out soon could be a long year.
Lost the rubber match today. Disappointing start to the season.

Austin Pee is still mad we nohit them last year that was a bullshit call ..looked to me like his hheel was right on the plate.
- Home opener tomorrow Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. against that stupid looking Billiken. Supposed to be sunny and in the 60s and not much wind.
