Lately it’s been SweeneyThis team always seems to come up with the big hit when they need it. And it's usually a different player each time
Never going to host a regional with that dump of a field.You are right the facilities and amenities are substandard but I’d rather have the league leading record, highest team batting average, lowest team E.R.A and best defense than a good PA system and readable scoreboard. Both would be better ,but for now let’s be happy with the product on the field. Just curious, how many fans showed up?
I think the last time we hosted a regional it was held at Yogi Berra Stadium, Little Falls.Never going to host a regional with that dump of a field.
No way. I was there and between the stands around home plate, third base stands and fans in the outfield grass, easily 1000 people.maybe 200, something you would see at a good HS Game ,I might be generous with that #,,and probably 30 of them from Indiana..The Product on the field is Elite and deserves so much more
It’s amazing how much D1 talent there is on D2 programs. Owens has done a really nice job identifying who to recruit from the portal.And to think Owens recruited this caliber team with a substandard ballpark, one helluva coach
can host a regional at whatever minor league park in New Jersey is available that weekendI think the last time we hosted a regional it was held at Yogi Berra Stadium, Little Falls.
Exactly why folks like me said hire and spend $$ on the best basketball coach and stop the bs on needing the APS to recruit. ( And I'm not anti Pike but he's got to get it going. )And to think Owens recruited this caliber team with a substandard ballpark, one helluva coach
I have been a proponent for upgrades to the surrounding parts of the actual field for years it seems. The actual playing field is great and if we lifted it up and set it down on a stadium with lights, better seating , concession stands and sanitary facilities it would be fine. A better sound system? Heck the football stadium‘s is terrible still or am I overstating that? Those aesthetics are lacking but the product Owens has put on the field points to this eventually happening . Championships bring players…it all falls into place with that. Last several threads on this have conjectured prices in the NJ construction costs and if that be the case then do it over several years. Lights are the least of our concerns going forward so start with all the other things to give them a real on campus facility .Never going to host a regional with that dump of a field.
Yes.Are the stats correct? 2 HRs in the bottom of the 9th, including a walkoff game winning HR?
Holy crapDo you believe in miracles? YES Santa Maria and Sweeney with homers in the bottom of the 9 th to win it.
Edit- Even better I believe there were 2 outs and the count was 3-2.

It's clearly a response to the coaching comment. But you know we that already. And you're not the post police.What does this have to do with RU-Indiana baseball?
