Almost worthless sidenote but my Son played a summer ball tournament on that field last summer.  My younger son said it smells like funky Skunk everywhere we went on and around campus. Lol.  

Probably the stench from the porta potties;). I have been to many (probably 40 in all) college baseball stadiums and this one at Xavier is easily the worst that is still in use I have seen. The only rival to it is Purdue's old stadium before they built Alexander Field.

Both of those places make Sembower Field look world class and that is hard to do! Not kidding.

Frustrating today isn't televised. The midweek games are solid to pass a couple of hours.

Usually Big East uses FloTV. However, with game being a last minute addition no broadcast. With that said, even if it were streamed, FloTV is $19.99 a month and the most expensive online broadcast there is for college sports (and not great quality). It is the same platform women's basketball has those November tournaments on.

For all  the complaints about BTN+ and the way they stream, the Big East has by far the most expensive and most obscure streaming option of all the major conferences.

So many things to try to keep up on today and so little time!!!

Xavier batting in the bottom of the 5th with Hoosiers holding an 8-3 lead but the bases are loaded with nobody out for Xavier.   Foley got 2 strikeouts and a pop-up and Xavier does not score.  Hoosiers lead 8-3 after 5 complete.

Bothwell started on the mound and went 3 innings.  Vega, Burton and Foley have all seen mound duty since then.  We've scored in every inning.  Tibbitts has 2-HRs on the day and 4 RBI.  Pyne and Cerny have also homered.

The “funky skunk” was ganja smoke from left, right, and center.  Everywhere we went around campus.

8-6 final score.  Xavier scored their last 3 runs off Levy in the 8th but Risedorph closed them out in the 9th for the Save.  Bothwell gets the Win.  We only had 6 hits but 4 of them were HRs which accounted for 6 of our 8 runs.

This weekend we host PUke (23-23) (10-8).  On the 16th we host Evansville and then travel to East Lansing the following weekend to wrap up conference play.

Could be both:). There was definitely a slight odor (albeit very mild) coming from the porta potties as I sat in the bleachers today!

FYI.  I opened a new thread captioned 2023 College World Series and moved a number of posts discussing regional assignments into that new thread.
