The Braves lost a tough game to the Brewers last night, 3-2. The Braves led 2-0 through six innings, but gave up single runs in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Tim Hudson threw 8 strong innings only giving up 2 runs and striking out 6 batters. Jeff Bennett came on in relief of Hudson, but could not hold the Brewers. Bennett is now 0-3 for the season. Chipper Jones had two hits for the Braves, raising his average to .418. Kelly Johnson extended his hitting streak to 13 games. Matt Diaz strained his knee in the 7th inning and left the game. Omar Infante took Diaz's place in the outfield for the remainder of the game. The two teams play again tonight at 805pm. Jo Jo Reyes pitches for the Braves. Jeff Suppan will pitch for Milwaukee.
I was 5 of 8 on my NCAA softball super regional picks. My top 4 picks were correct, but I only got one of the last four right. My confidence score was 77.8%. Not too bad, but not too good either. The softball world series starts on Thursday and here are my picks:
Champion - Florida
Runner-Up - Alabama
Final four - Texas A&M and Arizona St.
Win one game - Virginia Tech and UCLA
Two losses and out - Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona
The NCAA Baseball regionals also start this weekend. Miami(FL) is the overall number one seed. Here are my predictions, in order of confidence.
#2 NC over Elon
#1 Miami (FL) over Missouri
#4 Florida St over Florida
#3 Arizona St over Vanderbilt
#7 LSU over Southern Miss
Texas A&M over Houston
#5 CS Fullerton over UCLA
#6 Rice over Texas
Oklahoma St over TCU
Nebraska over UC Irvine
South Carolina over NC State (upset)
Arizona over Kentucky
Pepperdine over Stanford (upset)
#8 Georgia over Georgia Tech
Long Beach State over San Diego
East Carolina over Coastal Carolina (upset)
