I'm still trying to wrap my head around beating SC in game 1. Starting to think this team might be for real.

Today will be a tough game. Of our 3 weekend starter, today's is probably the toughest matchup for Mizzou. Freshman on our end who has given up a few runs but has good control. Rarely walks anyone. On the SC side, their starter today is probably Friday starter good. In fact, I think he was their Friday starter for some time.

Even if we lose today, I think the pitching matchups favor Mizzou on Sunday. Our Sunday starter was probably penciled in to be our Friday night starter until McClain emerged.

I was viewing the game last night through game tracker. Even though Mizzou hitters did strike out a few times. I could see they work a pitcher tough. Some of those strike outs were with full counts. Matter of fact, some of those at bats the pitcher was behind most the time. That 7th inning they got the go ahead run, it was a result of a lead off walk. He worked the pitcher pretty good. Now could have been the pitcher or the ump or a combo but it was good to see them being patient at the plate. Mizzou pitching was lights out. McClain got it doen in the 8th when he needed to.

I'll have to look at some stats on USCe's lineup today, if I can find it. I'll be glued to the tv and the MIZZOU flag will be flying. I think they can make another sweep.

Undefeated in SEC play deserves another happy dance
