I think we have more than once. We beat Missouri to go to Omaha in like 66 we haven’t under Hendrickson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Weird, the announcers kept referencing us going for our first win in the NCAA Tournament in program history (maybe it was under Hendrickson like you said). It didn't sound right to me and I see we made the College World Series in 1965. Joining the A-10 has certainly been kind to the program.

The announcers said that the Bills had never won a regional game. Back in the 60's they had district games, not regional games. SLU beat Missouri in their district to go to the World Series.

At least we will see how we match-up with Missouri State tomorrow. Bad. The Baseball team had a chance to prove how good they are. They weren't up to the task.

Thanks for the clarification, I was only passively listening while also watching the end of the Cardinal game so I am not surprised I misheard it.

billikenfan05 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 We had the consensus region of death. Every team in the region can mash the ball, and our vaunted pitching staff didn’t get it done IMO. I’m not sure I understand Darin starting Wark against Mo State after he struggled with his command in the A10 tournament and Reveno dominated the final. Connor Lehman was phenomenal in relief against Ole Miss, 5 IP 0 hits 6K against an offense ranked in the Top 10 in front of a sold out crowd at probably the toughest atmosphere in all of American sports.

The minimal coverage we are looking for can't take much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Group of Death where SLU was the worst team being the only team that didn't win a game. The pitching staff vaunted? They gave up 17/18 runs in two games. Vaunted huh?
