Looks Like We'll Have Some More Midnight Baseball

Here's an update from the Southland Conference Baseball Tournament in Corpus:

-Southeastern Louisiana eliminated University of Texas - San Antonio 5-4 in 12 innings in the first Friday game; it was the longest Southland Conference Tournament game in history. That game started at 9 am, and of course didn't end before noon as conference officials had hoped, so that knocked things a bit off-kilter for:

-Lamar and UT-Arlington, which just ended around 5 pm after a delayed 2 pm start. Lamar eliminated the Mavericks 5-4, and will play Texas State tonight after suffering a 10-1 loss to the Bobcats last night.

-Sam Houston State was supposed to start their game against Southeastern Louisiana today at 4 pm, but obviously that's not going to happen as the Lamar game just ended. Since there's a mandated 45-minute break between games in the SLC tournament, this game will likely not start until around 5:45. If SHSU wins, they'll advance to the championship game tomorrow at 6 pm, if SLU wins there will be another game between these two teams tomorrow at 9 am or 1 pm, depending on how Texas State does tonight.

-This means that we'll likely see a second consecutive midnight baseball game for Texas State as last night's game went into Friday morning. Texas State and Lamar were projected to begin play at 7 pm this evening, but seeing that a 1 hour, 15 minute game is impossible for SHSU and SLU to pull off, we could see a 9 pm or even 10 pm start time for the Bobcats and Cardinals. If the good guys win over Lamar for the second straight evening, they'll advance to the championship game on Saturday at 6 pm, if they lose they'll face Lamar for a third time at 1 pm Saturday.

Stay tuned for any further updates, as the game will be available on 89.9 KTSW, ktsw.net and txstatebobcats.com whenever it starts.
