Bat Sports: The 2025 college baseball/softball thread

It's W&M. Nobody goes to any athletic events there.

Winter baseball in Arizona is wonderful, four sunny, warm days at Surprise Stadium, just a great place, Free parking, excellent tailgating, and the four Beaver games were attended drew almost 14,000 total fans. The place was solid orange.

14,000 per game or 14,000 total?

14,000 per game or 14,000 total?

Total, in four games.

Alabama batter wanted out of the box and tried calling time. Even though he stepped out of the box it was not granted and the pitch counted. Alabama State guy still threw a ball.

Gonzaga plays a three-day series at Baylor this weekend. The high temp on Friday in Waco is supposed to be 37. Sunday's weather will be nice, with a high of 61. Ain't no way I would go to Friday's game.

One of the great things about college baseball is that they're pretty realistic when it comes to weather and are not at all averse to moving a game around. Wouldn't shock me at all if they play two on Saturday or Sunday and bang the Friday game.

Gotta love a straight steal of home.

That was one hell of a jump. Pitcher was painfully slow.

That was one hell of a jump. Pitcher was painfully slow.

And the 3B was playing well toward SS so the runner could get a huge jump.

E5. 9-3-6. Or at least that's how I'd score it.

Gotta love a straight steal of home.

That guy might have beaten the pitch to the plate.

And speaking of Georgia-Kennesaw State, this was the final out of the game.

Yeah ... you can pull that horseship when you know you'll never bat and get 98 mph under your chin.
