Very exciting!!! Absolutely dominated that tournament.

Are the regionals usually televised?

Congratulations to Rhody Baseball.

We will be a #4 seed in the regionals most likely but capable of beating anyone the way we are playing right now!

Martin Figueroa, Chris Hess, Ryan Olmo and Ben Wessell made the All Championship team. Wessell was brilliant today. Pretty good when your #3 pitcher in the rotation makes the All Championship team!
Great day for RHODY baseball.
And we have a young team too!

Just love seeing A Rhody team winning big things.
Track and field, Rowing and now baseball have made the tourney this year.
Can basketball be next please?

Truly outstanding

Bravo, awesome show! Gotta love the A10 Network

Pumped up for Rhody baseball! Great accomplishment for the program. Hopefully they get some local press tomorrow.

How does double elimination work for the regionals?

Win or lose game 1 vs SC, is game 2 vs SC again or is there a losers bracket?

Losers bracket.
Winner of URI - USC will play winner of Duke - UNCW
Loser of URI - USC will play loser of Duke - UNCW
Traditional double elim for 4 teams until only 1 remains

Winner will go on to play the winner of the 4 team regional being played at Clemson where the Tigers are the 1-seed.

Thanks, ramster for the links.

South Carolina not only has a beautiful baseball stadium, all their athletics facilities are mind blowing!! What great experience for Rhody baseball to be playing there.

Here is the link to their message board

Will be interesting to see how Wilson does against them. Should be a nice measuring stick for him as a sophomore to take on a team like that at their place on a big stage. I see he struggled a little early in the season against some of the non-conference big boys. Did pitch real well at Maryland though, who were a mid-pack Big 10 team.

Hopefully our great play of late translates well against a team like South Carolina.
It would put us on the map of we can knock off the Gamecocks

It was great to watch a selection show in anticipation of seeing the name "Rhode Island" pop up on the screen.

All teams in the Northeast have a tough road to hoe.....a great pitcher means a lot.....let's pull for our guys to get great pitching and timely hitting.

Hey Guys, I mentioned my podcast Rhode Talk in a different section of the forum and we have been talking a lot of Rhody baseball. This week we had an interview with Will Geoghegan of Independent RI. Check it out if you want. We talk A10 tournament, and their CWS matchup! Thanks.

Sounds good I'm going to check it out

Great write up and Tyler is definitely our "ace in the hole," so to speak. But left unsaid is that our bats have also come alive lately. The A10 isn't the best baseball conference in the country, but rolling through the tournament with a 38-7 (or whatever) dominance is not just about pitching. Obviously the caliber of pitchers that we face is about to go up several degrees, but it's hard to imagine us going into this in a better situation. Obviously it's a major uphill climb and we're fighting above our weight a bit, but I feel like we have a punchers chance.

Not looking great in the first

For some reason I cannot get game on espn3. Cannot figure it out--need some help please.

Tough going...Wilson can't seem to keep the ball down at all...and whenever he has to throw a strike...it's waist high....

wow...back to back blasts on back to back pitches...

this is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
bases loaded single that clears the bases for URI and it is a big argument as to whether the guy catches it or not
Umps rule in favor of URI believe it or not and URI is now up 6-4!!!
and Wilson is on a roll with 5 straight strike outs

Weird, now the umps say it was a not a catch but the URI player did not circle the bases and left the field so was called out - just nutty
So score is 5-4 URI

Rhody Rhody Rhody! Takes the lead!

Time for Tyler to close them out!

Time for Tyler to close them out!

Nice hit by Hess off the 95mph fastball. Rams earning a lot of respect tonight!

89 pitches for Tyler Wilson to start the bottom of the 6th. What a gutsy performance by Wilson!

YES! YES! YES!
Wilson with a huge strike out! His 10th of the game!
RHODY batting top of the 7th

South Carolina Manager Chad Holbrook gets tossed for arguing

UCONN and Boston College both won.
Fairfield and Bryant both lost.
Would love to see RHODY give New England a winning record for the day.

Agree. Was interesting how the announcers predicted it perfectly as well.
Wilson needs to get this third out in the 7th. Too bad he lost to a walk Hopkins after having him 0-2.

Great pitching again by Wilson! 11 strike outs through 7 innings against a top 10 ranked team.
Does he pitch the 8th? Too many pitches throw?
Would be nice to see us add to the Lead here in the 8th.
