Nine games left for the Paladins in SoCon play and ten games overall, starting with this weekend's series against the Keydets. Six of the ten are in Latham and, with a series at Woffy, all are in the Upstate except for a mid-week game against a very beatable South Carolina team. Time to make some hay.
VMI Series
Paladins rebound nicely after a disappointing Friday night showing to take the series after beating the Keydets 13-5 today. They even their record at 9-9. That's two SoCon series wins in a row for Furman.
Need to probably win two of the six against Mercer and Woffy to ensure avoiding the play-in game for the tourney. Sure would be nice to find a way to win three or more and finish at or above .500 in the league.

Pretty much assured of not being in the play-in game as the Paladins have a 4 game lead over 8th place VMI and the tie-breaker.
Four game lead in the loss column, but VMI has played 3 more games than us so we are only 2.5 games ahead overall. If they sweep their series against UNCG, they have the potential to finish 11-13. Five losses for FU against MUand WC will put us at 10-14. Not a likely scenario, but still possible.
Yep, that's why I said pretty much assured. VMI is not sweeping UNCG. Most likely they get swept.MidlandsPaladin wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 6:45 amFour game lead in the loss column, but VMI has played 3 more games than us so we are only 2.5 games ahead overall.
