1. Southern Miss fans have a high baseball IQ. There wasn't a USM fan in the stands that didn't realize how tough a team La Tech has this year. It was a grinder of a series, as expected.
2. The "whining" came from a few fans that feel like some calls went Tech's way Friday that would have changed the game. Those people are at every school and crap happens. Most people aren't going to complain about it.
3. Booing was done when Tech continued calling time out. Unlike in football, where WKU booed USM players for injury, this is completely different. We booed because we didn't like the ump and we didn't like the constant time outs. It's that simple. I'll be honest, I'm shocked this was brought up because it happens at literally every college baseball game I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a lot.
4. To those thinking we were yelling "balk" and mad that the umps wouldn't call it, I really don't know what to tell you. People tell balk all the time to try to get the ump to call it. It's not serious and we really don't expect to get the call, it's just fun.
I hope to see some Tech fans in Hattiesburg for the tournament. It will be a lot of fun and I think y'all have a great team. I just hope y'all aren't creating the wrong perception of us based off of some things that literally every school does, mostly all in fun.
