Looking at the MSU baseball team stats...
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
Those are some really interesting stats.
We are killing it in the 6th, likely on our third time through the top of our order against the starter. Or maybe weaker middle relievers. Either way, our hitters seem to figure it out.
Our closers are definitely not dominant—based on that 9th inning stat—but it hasn't seemed to matter. That ninth inning is worrisome but we've had enough runs banked to withstand it in most cases (all except 1, apparently). Then again, we are 0-10 when trailing after the 8th because we can't stop teams from scoring even more in the ninth. It's hard to make a last-inning come back in those cases.
On the other hand our middle relievers are doing well in combination with that stellar middle-inning hitting.
Then again you can always make stats say what you want them to say.

More concerned about the attendance of the last 3 games. Because they could not have been more than 3500 to 4000 at any of those Th/Fr/Fr games.**
That's a bit skewed for a couple reasons.
24 of those runs have come in only 4 games:
Western Illinois (4)
Morehead St. (10)
Indiana St. (6)
UAPB (4)
Also, our opponents have had more 9th inning ABs than we have. By my count, we haven't had to bat in the 9th in 17 games. Only 7 for our opponent.
