#Owls all but assured of regional host, national seed hopes may depend on play of a few Pac-12/SEC/ACC teams.
ThresherSports
Great series win in a tough environment over a top 15 squad. How bout the NS chances for #Rice now? Need tourney win too? @KendallRogersPG
ThresherSports
Duffey Ks the last batter and the #Owls are #CUSA regular season champions yet again! 17 straight reg. season or conference tourney titles
ThresherSports
2 outs as the big man Hicks is down. 2 men on and the tying run is at the plate in Friedrich
ThresherSports
Unbelievable. Lewis nearly touches bag trying to go for double play and gets no one out. Hicks drives a ball to LF, but Ratt catches it.
ThresherSports
The streak ends as Duffey walks Sweeney, but this means big D.J. Hicks is on deck. Taladay up with one out.
ThresherSports
Duffey K's his ninth-straight #UCF batter in Ronnie Richardson. Simply unbelievable pitching weekend he's had.
ThresherSports
Ratterree Ks unfortunately, going 0-5 today, but the #Owls lead 5-2 going to B9. Duffey will face 1-2-3 hitters for #CUSA title.
ThresherSports
Wild pitch from Hanson allows Craig "Bunny" Manuel to score from third. 5-2 #Owls. Stainback and Fuda advance a base as well.
ThresherSports
Fuda works to a full count and walks to load the bases for Ratterree!
ThresherSports
Strike that, Fuda, not Ratterree, will face RHP Ray Hanson. Clutch time for Fuda
ThresherSports
Stringer can't deliver (1-5 today) and Ks, although Stainback steals second. 2 outs, men on third and second for Ratterree. New pitcher now
ThresherSports
Stainback singles to RF, but Manuel held at third. Still, one out and Stringer is up to try and lengthen #Rice's lead
ThresherSports
Manuel on base and Reed faces Ryan Lewis who bunts Manuel over for his third sac bunt of day. Stainback up now for #Rice
ThresherSports
Bryan Brown finally is done for the day for #UCF but great job in relief. 6.2 IP, 5 H, just 1 ER. Gave #Knights a chance. Jimmy Reed new P
ThresherSports
I spoke too soon...another K for Duffey, who comes in and absolutely mows down the side, throwing all strikes. Going to T9, #Rice up 4-2
ThresherSports
Wow. Think Duffey came to play? Ks Matos and Carrillo to start the 8th inning. All foul balls and strikes so far
ThresherSports
Cook nearly has a single to LF but Carrillo makes a good play to get the third out. B8 and #Owls up 4-2. Duffey in to pitch for Chargois
ThresherSports
Hoelscher gets a nice hit to CF with 2 outs and fellow soph Keenan Cook comes to bat in T8.
ThresherSports
But Chargois recovers from the double and Ks Friedrich and Breen to get out of the 7th. Bats need to come alive to get insurance runs
ThresherSports
Hicks doubles to RF and Taladay scores (unearned) from first, with Manuel nearly tagging him out at home. 4-2 #Rice
ThresherSports
Rathjen with a great grab to sit Sweeney down for first out. Hoelscher then drops a pop up from Taladay, who scampers to first
ThresherSports
Fuda K's and the T7 is over. 2-3-4 hitters coming up for #UCF after the seventh inning stretch. #Rice 4 #UCF 1
ThresherSports
Stainback leads off the 7th with his third hit of the day, but Stringer erases him by grounding into a 3-6-3 DP.
ThresherSports
Shreve flies out and Hoelscher makes up for bobble by nabbing Richardson's shot to third. Going to T7 and #Owls hanging on to three-run lead
