First pitch - 2:05 p.m. (thanks @In the blood)! Looks like mid- to upper 40s for first pitch and possibly, dare I say it, a little bit of sun . . .
Though day for Iowa's RPI. Iowa started the day at #34. It handily beat WMU 9-3. However, not a good night for Iowa's previous opponents, including SDSU losing to previously winless Northern Colorado. However, Iowa's RPI numbers took the biggest hit when Texas Tech lost to Texas on the road. Go figure. At the close of games yesterday, Iowa fell 9 spots on the RPI ladder. Blah.
Current RPI ranking: 43. Iowa trails #42 Clemson by 7 points and is ahead of #44 Alabama by 4 points.
RPI Metrics: An Iowa win will result in a loss of 7 RPI points. An Iowa loss will result in the loss of 184 RPI points.
Here's the statistics for WMU's starting pitcher today - DJ Thompson: https://wmubroncos.com/sports/baseball/roster/dj-thompson/12705
A great illustration of what Heller referenced in his pre-game interview yesterday; specifically, WMU has really struggled to find pitchers who can consistently get batters out.
Gotta run. This is my 30th year of playing fantasy baseball (NL league only) with the same base group of college friends. Auction starts in 20 minutes.
Go Hawks!
