There is a trend on the @UAB_Baseball Roster that I think not that many people know about. The trend of former pro athletes kids that are on the team: -John Lindsey III (Father played 22 years in the MLB) - Kent Collier (Father played for the KC Chiefs) -Ryan Olson (Father is a part of the Orioles Hall of Fame.) -Jace Norton (Father played 13 years in the MLB.) -Austin Pierzynski (Father played 19 seasons in the MLB.) -Cutter Smith (Father played 9 seasons in the MILB.) -Brooks House (Brother is Brady House who plays for the Nationals.)

I asked @UAB_Baseball Kevin Hall Jr. before tonight's exhibition against Alabama, someone I should be buying stock in. He told me that he expects Riley Miller to have a breakout year. The sophomore has been up to 99 already this fall and struck out the side, including Eric Hines in his first inning of work tonight.

Checking in from Tuscaloosa, Alabama as we are about a little over an hour away from UAB and Alabama facing off in two seven inning exhibitions tonight. Just chatted with Alabama HC Rob Vaughn and he said he’s looking forward to seeing the freshman and younger sophomores getting some more action today.

Last night @umichbaseball Head Coach Tracy Smith agreed to a contract extension through 2031. Through his first four years for the Wolverines he has gone 127-103. I decided to write my thoughts on the extension for @CollegeBaseCNT. My thoughts are at the link below.

Bottom 5th of seven scheduled, Mississippi State looks to expand a 6-5 lead over Western Kentucky. Christman is first and is hit, then Hovater bunts him into scoring position. Danza is rung up, and Firgens follows. He singles into LCF and drives in the run, 7-5. Strohm follows and walks to put two on and two out. Hanna flies to CF to end the inning, but MSU gets a run for the first time in three innings and takes a two-run lead.

Top 6th, Mississippi State adds a run and leads Western Kentucky 7-5, with Wilson Andersen on to pitch. He gets a great snag at SS by Geertsma and tag at 1b by Overbeek to keep the leadoff batter off base. A called strikeout makes two away, then a walk gives WKU a baserunner. An error puts runners on the corners, and State will huddle on the mound. Andersen stays in and a hot shot past SS scores a run, corners again and a single to CF makes it 7-7. Corners a third time, and a ball gets away to give WKU its first lead since the 2nd inning. Runner in scoring position and still two out, a walk draws Head Coach Brian O’ Connor to the mound, followed by Carson Fair to pitch. He gets a fly ball to CF that finally ends the inning, but the Hilltoppers reclaim the early lead with the Bulldogs having just two innings left to overcome it. WKU 8, MSU 7.

Top 4th, Jack Bauer in to pitch for Mississippi State and defend the 6-4 lead over Western Kentucky. He walks the first two batters and draws a mound visit. Two on, no out, a third walk loads the bases, and that will end Bauer’s day. Jack Gleason is brought on in relief. He gets a strikeout, then a line drive to RF is caught but drives in a run, no other advance. Another strikeout ends the inning, but WKU has cut the lead to a single run, 6-5.

Bottom 2nd, Western Kentucky 3, Mississippi State 0. Noah Danza leads off and reaches on a SS error. Peyton Firgens bats and walks for two on, no out. Hunter Strohm bats and loads the bases on another SS error. Bases loaded, Michael Hanna singles to RF and drives in a pair to make it 2-3. WKU changes pitchers to face Geertsma with runners on the corners and no outs. He doubles to LF, ties the score 3-3 and puts two more in scoring position. Burke-Lee Mabeus hits a sac fly to RCF, both runners tag, and MSU takes a 4-3 lead. Infield in for Jake Souders, who walks to put runners on the corners with one out. Stolen base puts two in scoring position for Josiah Overbeek. He strikes out but when a pitch bounces away twice, two runs score to make it 6-3. Christman reaches on the third error of the inning but is caught stealing for out three. It’s a good inning for State, which now leads by three.

Top 3rd, Parker Rhodes is in to pitch for Mississippi State, which used six runs in the 2nd to turn a three-run deficit into a three-run lead over Western Kentucky, 0-3 to 6-3. He gets the leadoff batter on a strikeout, then gives up a home run to LF that bounces off the roof beyond the Blue Monster wall. Rhodes comes back for out two on a strikeout, then a single puts one on for WKU. A caught stealing ends the half inning, but the MSU lead is cut to 6-4.
