Baseball's Funny

Generally, the third game over a weekend series of college baseball is a high scoring affair, because not many college teams can go three (or four, if they've played a mid-week game) quality starters deep, and pitching becomes depleted by Sunday. Figure in that UH has OWNED UAB since the inception of C-USA, has good pitching depth, has a high-octane offense, and has been on a long winning streak of late, and you wouldn't predict today's score: UAB 6, UH 2.

But taking two of three on the road keeps UH on a fine pace, and shouldn't be cause to worry.

Meanwhile, Cincy lost today in men's hoops, the usual Bob Huggins tank job. Oklahoma should have had that #1 seed on Cincy's past history alone.

I actually spent much of the day at Diedrich's, finally getting a chance to read some Philip Pullman -- before our UK friends dragged us out and about for fun but mellow evening.
