About this episode
The episode discusses Coastal Carolina's baseball challenges, including Cam Flukey's return and the bullpen's collapse against Texas State.
Coastal Carolina’s hopes of a sweep slip away despite Cam Flukey’s anticipated return to the mound. Can Flukey regain full form in time to boost the Chanticleers’ postseason ambitions? Host Dave Schultz spotlights Flukey’s brief but promising comeback—two innings, four punchouts on just 24 pitches—before the bullpen falters and Texas State storms back to claim the series finale. The episode breaks down Sun Belt baseball’s shifting landscape, with App State surging to second place after sweeping Georgia Southern, while Arkansas State and South Alabama salvage key wins to stay in the race. Discussion covers standout pitching duels, alarming losing streaks, RPI fluctuations impacting at-large NCAA Tournament hopes, and heavyweight upcoming midweek clashes, including Coastal Carolina at North Carolina and App State at Wake Forest. Sun Belt standings, RPI concerns, and postseason seeding stakes take center stage as the regular season’s dramatic finish approaches.
