10-run rule only applies in the final game of a conference series on getaway day.
Tech probably leads C-USA in three of the worst batting categories possible. Those would be swinging 3rd strikes on pitches outside the strike zone, called 3rd strikes, and runners left on base. Left 13 more on base last night and left the bases loaded twice but only scored two.
Thanks for confirming. I thought maybe they had changed the rule or something. In addition to the run rule, they have a time rule.
. Game Times.
The host institution shall establish game times. The last game of the series must have a scheduled start time a minimum of four hours plus necessary time to change and travel to the airport in order for the visiting team to arrive one hour before the scheduled flight. Further, the visiting team must contact the host institution with travel plans no later than December 1 if those plans will cause a game to be scheduled prior to 1 p.m. The last Conference series preceding the Championship shall be played on Thursday/Friday/Saturday. The starting time of that Saturday game must have a scheduled start no later than 1 pm local time.
Game Length
. All games will be nine innings, except Sunday double headers, which shall be seven. Sunday nine innings games will use the 10-run rule. The second game of the series will use the 15-run rule
I still feel the problem is pitching, especially starting pitching. In most games we score enough runs to win, but our pitching is just gives up huge innings, especially the long ball, and it's too hard for our offense to overcome.
Someone please explain to the talking heads that @Rice is the EASIEST baseball trip we make in conference travel wise...
Next would be a toss up between @USM and @UAB followed by @UTSA -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
