Even Wright State's 9-6 loss to GT may have even been a little


closer of a game than the score indicated. At least it can sometimes be difficult to tell the flow of the game based on the box score and/or the inning summary. For example, a pitcher can through the perfect borderline pitch that at least 75% of the time umpires would call a strike or more importantly strike 3. However, in that game the umpire called it a ball for whatever reasons which meant the batter gets to see at least 1 more pitch in that bat unless it was ball 4.

If you ignore the lost (11-2?) to Oral Roberts, which is probably another outlier, and only look at the 2 series against GT and Oklahoma State, then it would probably lead someone to conclude the following about Wright State: If Wright State is playing a series against someone, then it is reasonable to expect they will play 1 great game, 1 bad game, and 1 okay game (i.e. 9-6 loss to GT based on final score alone). Now if Wright State sweeps the series or wins it, then it is probably do to a combination of VT's pitching may not be as good/great as we thought to this point and Wright State is a better team than its record would indicate. Assuming Wright State wins its conference, as predicted, then I could see them win a game or two in their region. At the very least, they should be a very difficult team to eliminate in the regional round.

  I’d say they’re still a pretty solid club. -- 93Hokie7 03/02/2022 07:20AM
