Salvaging A Bad Series

It figures -- the one game of this weekend's college baseball series I skip, UH finally figures out how to play baseball again, avoiding a sweep as the hands of an average South Florida team. This comes after the worst game I've seen UH play in the 6 years I've been following them. It was also good to see Michael Bourn with four stolen bases -- nobody's been able to throw him out all year, but for some reason he wasn't running much this weekend despite getting on base quite a bit.

Texas and Rice are starting to look like locks for an NCAA regional. It's not out of the question that UH, ranked 9 in one poll going into the weekend but sure to drop a few slots now, can still get a third regional for Texas. But they didn't help their RPI (#4 as of last Monday) with these losses, and that will figure into regional awards.
