  1. Tennis is not one of my regular sports, but Victoria Duval and Louisa Chirico will be going for first pro title, and it's only a half mile
  2. Not doing the SoCon final, GSU and Samford has already been done before and is 150 miles away
  3. Furman defends their home city by eliminating top seed Appalachian State 13-4
  4. 13-4 Paladins after 8. Probably headed for another GSU-Samford final
  5. 13-4 FU mid 8th. Even in the SoCon Tournament, the Paladins are safe
  6. Paladins get run back as they dominate the regular season champs 13-4 after 7
  7. Appy gets run back, but still trail 12-4 at the stretch
  8. FU continues to pull away, up 12-3 after 6
  9. But Furman is still up 11-3 mid 6th, they are playing effectively at home and with more to play for, so their lead is probably safe
  10. 11-3 FU after 5. Don't count out Appy just yet, still the SoCon Tournament
  11. 11-3 Furman after 4, defense may finally be settling in
  12. 11-3 Furman mid 4th. Attention Drive: you are hosting an actual competitive baseball game. Nobody cares about the Macarena here
  13. Looks like App will be a 3 seed, down 11-3 after 3
  14. 9-3 FU mid 3rd. App State is probably already in, only question is if they will be a 2 or 3 seed in regional
  15. Error on a third strike allows Paladins to net two unearned runs to go up 9-3 after 2
  16. 7-3 FU mid 2nd. All of ASU's bottom of the order played for Rowan County Legion team that won Regional in Sumter in 2009
  17. All 9 Paladin hitters avoid 0 for 1 PA first time up for today's first unusual event! 7-3 Furman after 1
  18. Big inning that could have been bigger for Mountaineers, 3-0 mid 1st
  19. Last night's App State-Samford game finished after I got home from High Point
  20. Will need a long game to uphold tradition of games going late at night here
