Nice to get our first win. Despite it being a rebuilding year I still think we will end up having a decent season.

Around the MVC, Evansville lost today to Lipscomb 4-1. Currently the Bears lead Austin Peay 4-1 in the bottom of the 7th. Bradley and Middle TN are scoreless in the 4th.

Looks like I will make it to 6 games this year. Will be there for the Murray or Evansville series; and then for the ILST or DBU series. I'm an OTR truck driver so unfortunately I can't make it to all of them. If we make a run in the MVC tournament I will probably go down for it too like I did last season.

Bradley has been awful so far. That's the second game this season they have been shut out. The conference as a whole seems down, but I saw where the MVC is ranked 9th in RPI. DBU and MSU look pretty good early. I will be somewhat surprised if they don't both end up making the NCAA tournament.
