From gobearcats.com
The University of Cincinnati's baseball team was not able to fly out to San Diego on Thursday for its season-opening series due to inclement weather in Chicago.
The team is now scheduled to depart on Saturday morning. Game times are currently slated for 6 p.m. PST on Saturday and a double header starting at 1 p.m. PST on Sunday.

RE: 2018 Bearcat Baseball Thread
I took my family down to USD to watch the Bearcats' first game of the season against Cal (so it was an away game for both teams).
Talking to the parents of our players, the flight out was a mess. The team's flight was canceled, so yesterday's doubleheader was canceled. Players took 5 different flights, so parents who flew out early took turns bringing them in from the airport. A lot of them didn't land until 3 pm for a 6 pm game.
But the team was Focused, with a Capital F. No errors in the field. Great pitching. Mercer made a trio of excellent plays at 2B, and our outfielders made a couple of tough long catches. Timely hitting, plus 2 home runs.
Trying to look for criticism: the coaches were a bit conservative in baserunning calls for my taste. Really the only bad play we made all night was that one of our pitchers took too long to pitch after checking the runner at first, and the runner took off and was practically at 2nd by the time the catcher caught the ball.
Oddly enough, neither team got a walk. Is that normal in college BB?
The parents said that there's been a big attitude shift (for the better) due to the new coach.
Oh yeah - we had a very surprising number of fans there. At least 100, probably more. The crowd was about half Bearcats (official attendance was 629, but that was extremely generous).
All-in-all, a great win against a Pac-12 team.

Slightly off topic, but did it ever come out why Neal left so abruptly?
Wasn't he a considered an excellent hire at first?

Bearcats win over San Diego 7-4 in 10 innings. That is a big win over a baseball team that will play in the postseason

UC lost game 2 4-3. But they went 2-1 on the weekend, so it was a good start to the season.

RE: 2018 Bearcat Baseball Thread
They won game 1 in extra innings, and they were winning game 2 of the doubleheader until the bottom of the 9th. So it was as close to a draw as a doubleheader can get. Not bad against a school that's been to 8 of the last 15 NCAA tournaments and is receiving votes in several top-25 polls.

Looks like they are in a tight spot in the bottom of the 7th. The cats have been battling but can't capitalize in earlier chances.
FYI, I appreciate the heads up on the game streams on ESPN3 or stadium etc. Please keep giving me a heads up as we enjoy watching the games.
Can't wait to bring my son down to a game again this year.
One question, I remember a few years back UC baseball games were on local radio. I don't think they are still on, was it lack of ratings?
