We are back for a special Sunday postgame episode!
The race in the top 25 is really starting to heat up as we enter the last month of the regular season
With Arkansas holding strong at #1:
Colby and Hunter break down their weekend series in Baton Rouge against LSU
Where they took 2 out of 3 and outfielder Christian Franklin was the hero on multiple occasions
We then discuss #14 Florida's impressive showing against #2 Vanderbilt
Where they handed them only their second series loss since 2019:
Weighing what went wrong for the Commodores in perhaps their toughest test yet
We also highlight #3 Texas:
Who took the finale in an in-state showdown between them and #5 Texas Tech (apologies for the error in reporting during the show; misread information)
Other notable performances from around the league include Clemson sweeping #7 Louisville
#8 Notre Dame taking care of business versus North Carolina
#25 Old Dominion winning 3 out of 4 against #15 Charlotte
#23 Southern Miss pounding Rice after a tough opening game
TCU handing it to West Virginia
And Seton Hall's Tyler Burnham no-hitting Georgetown. C
Colby breaks down Fairfield's weekend against Siena, where they took 3 out of 4 in dominant fashion:
Led by Jake Noviello (who else?!) and the returning Trey McLoughlin
Unfortunately, the baseball gods did not want the winning streak to continue, but maybe it's for the best to get the monkey off of the Stags' backs.
Hunter then breaks down UConn's last week:
Including a highly competitive series at Xavier where our friends Kenny Haus, David Langer, Chris Winkel, and company starred for the Huskies in their 2-2 split.
After the Butler series did not end up taking place due to logistical issues
The #HookC pivoted to welcome Bucknell to Storrs, where they continued to take care of business:
Led by a ridiculous 14-strikeout performance by Ben Casparius and a two-homer game from Pat Winkel.
Afterward, we get into a little MLB action:
Colby makes us all envious by detailing his adventures of watching King Jacob deGrom live and in-person last week when the Red Sox visited Queens.
We discuss our MVP votes at the one-month point of the year
Wondering how Mike Trout continues to just get better and if J.D. or Shohei even stand a chance,
Why we are now on #TeamBryce after Harper's classiness following the hit-by-pitch in St. Louis
The Dodgers' slide thanks to an array of injuries and why the 2020 season led to this
Max Scherzer continues to be an absolute star and if the Nationals may trade him at the deadline
Ronald Acuna being Captain Excitement, and more.
