With the loss Tech loses 27 RPI points. Make it a drop of 7 RPI positions from #57 to #64 with just the impact of this one game.

Another gem by Leal. Another dud by the offense.
Can you give a loss to the offense instead of the pitcher because our pitchers dont deserve this.
I guess it is baseball when your team can forget to show up for the game!
See:
sometimes when playing a really strong opponent a win or a loss will increase RPI Rank and when playing a much weaker opponent a win or a loss will decrease RPI Rank.
Final 2-0 LSU.
Depends on how closely bunched teams are in RPI above and below.
Today the loss has the possibility to drop Tech more RPI positions than a win could have improved Tech's RPI position.
But a win always helps and a loss always hurts the RPI calculation just because of the 25% for a team's own weighted W-L pct.
Would have been nice! Good game, just came up on the short end of the score board!
So disappointing that Tech seemingly never wins the big game. In this case just a matter of not hitting the ball.
Can't have baserunning errors with no baserunners!
