The Flames' eight game winning streak was snapped by Northwestern 8-4. It's great that they had the streak they had and nice to be over .500. Can you imagine the nice record this team would have if it didn't blow the home game against Northern with a lead in the ninth inning; losing two games to Chicago State...Chicago State!; And this one against a bad NU team? The record should be at least 26-16 overall, which would've put the team rpi at least under 200!
This pitchers UIC have for the mid-week games just aren't really doing the job. They've got to really begin recruiting and developing pitchers not only for the weekend games, but the mid-week non-conference games as well. Those games are important for conference rpi during the season when the better pitchers are going on the weekends.
Only 7 games left before the HL Baseball tourney: 3 games against Youngstown State on the road, 1 against Michigan in Ann Arbor and 3 with Oakland at "The Grand" to close out the regular season. The team could still finish 29-20 overall and 21-9 in conference. They need to go into the conference tourney on a nice streak and with confidence that they can beat Wright State.
There's only one team that's going to the NCAAs from the Horizon League.
