Tech hosts 5-1 North Texas next weekend. UTSA is also 5-1 in the West Division standings.
48th in the first offical RPI release today...
Tech loses the home series to North Texas 2 games to 1. The key was blowing an 8-0 lead in Saturday's series opening 10-9 loss.
Tech pitching was supposed to be a strength but allowed 17 runs in the 3-game series.
North Texas is now 7-2, UTSA is 6-3, and Tech is 4-2 in the West Division standings.
We are Lah Tech! Where mediocrity reigns.
Nice bounce-back sweep at UTSA. Tech won 13-1 in 5 innings and 13-7 Saturday, and 11-2 in 6 innings Sunday.
North Texas still leads the West at 10-2 while Tech is now 7-2. UTSA fell to 6-6.
Remaining conference series for Tech are home vs Charlotte, home vs UTEP, at Marshall, home vs WKU, and at USM.
Tech finished the sweep of Charlotte to pull even with North Texas in the West standings, but Tech does not hold the tiebreaker. Home vs UTEP, at Marshall, home vs WKU, and at USM left.

North Texas and WKU play in Bowling Green next weekend. UAB and MT had two games cancelled in Murfreesboro today.
We will be #1 in the West this time next week, if we play to our ability. We should be able to dominate UTEP and NT will struggle at WKU. It would be nice if NT and WKU split games, though. That would take us to the #1 spot overall (at least for now).Quote:
