Is anyone getting the audio from the broadcast? I had it early, now nothing.

Down 8 zip after 4. I have been housecleaning so not sure this got away from us.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Clutch. Getting that all-important 2nd run in a 11-1 game to stave off a 10-run rule defeat. :lol:

Update: My bad. There is no mercy rule in effect during conference tournament play.

Final score: Mavs 15 Necks 9

Game two has been postponed and will be played Thursday at Noon. Severe weather and a lightning strike near J.L. Johnson Stadium knocked power out at the facility and on the Oral Roberts campus, preventing the game to be played tonight.

The Leathernecks are now set to play the loser of game two on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

You bring a kid who has pitched 8 innings all year into the 8th inning of an elimination game, you are asking for trouble.
