Bat Sports: The 2025 college baseball/softball thread

Another drunk game. Division II Missouri Southern beat Newman University 25-24 in 12 innings. This one had:
• Missouri Southern overcoming a six-run deficit by scoring 11 runs in the seventh inning, then blowing a 10-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, before finally winning it in the 12th.
• Nine home runs
• Missouri Southern hit two grand slams — and two other home runs — in the seventh inning
• Newman scored the tying run in the ninth inning on a two-out wild pitch
• Game time was 5 hours, 5 minutes
• They combined to use 22 pitchers who threw a total of 531 pitches
• There were 11 hit batters and 22 walks. And 42 hits.

To me, Division II baseball was lower quality than the juco league I had covered at my previous stop. Once watched Valdosta State score a run after tagging up on a foul ball.

Not that unusual.

Virginia loses, breaking its 31-game home midweek winning streak, dating back to 2022.

Pointing this out now before things go pear shaped against the Vols. But Alabama is now 21-1. Granted it has been mostly tomato cans, but there are also wins against N.C. State and Troy and a sweep of Texas A&M.
