- 0:00Teams real quickly. You mentioned Southern miss They went too and one over the
- 0:04weekend. They dropped a game to Marist three to six to three on well
- 0:10that was the looks like last game on Sunday. They lost that game.
- 0:13But then air Force. They'll get air Force on a midweek game coming up
- 0:16this week. Now, I guess air Force will stay in town and head
- 0:20to Sheidisberg and play that game. Well, actually, yeh, this is
- 0:23today today. They'll play them, and then New Orleans, Missouri State on
- 0:26a three game set, Nichols, Indiana State on a three game set,
- 0:30Mississippi State, Louisiana Tech, and then Alabama before they get into conference play
- 0:35with Marshall. So this is a good baseball team. I know they've had
- 0:38some turnover on the coaching staff, but talking to people down there, they
- 0:42expect this to be another competitive ball team. Man. Looking at their roster,
- 0:45it's very talented and you got guy they went to and one this week
- 0:49with guys like Slade Wilkes and Dustin Dickerson hitting about one to twenty five through
- 0:55those three games. You got to transfer from BYU Ozzie Pratt. His brother
- 0:59Cooper was drafted last year in the MLB draft. Ozzie Leeds the team right
- 1:06now. He is four for twelve this past weekend. I think that's a
- 1:08three point thirty three clip. He had a double and a triple, but
- 1:11nobody else on the team really hit and they were still two in one.
- 1:15It's because they got great pitching out of guys like Nico Maza from MRA.
- 1:21He threw a great game on Friday, five innings, four hits, no
- 1:26runs, in eight strikeouts. So they're gonna get great pitching. Dickerson and
- 1:29Wilkes and those guys are gonna hit, and Southern Miss is gonna be just fine.
