UCF Baseball is eliminated in the Auburn Regional as the pitching injuries became too much (E81)

The Knights were competitive in many sports during the 3rd year of the BIG XII (E82)

Let's take an episode and run down the sports teams and how they performed this year.  Year 3 was not a bad year and many teams exceeded expectations.  Some had some growth, others surprised the experts, and a few needed a reset.  Here is a look at some of the good and the bad as we continue building our programs to compete at the highest level.

UCF Baseball is eliminated in the Auburn Regional as the pitching injuries became too much (E81)

After 2 series wins, one on the road at Baylor, and the other at home versus Kansas State, UCF Baseball was hoping to make some noise in the B12 Tournament.  With the 4th seed came a much-needed rest, but we would fall in the first game just like the ladies did.  We would make the tournament with a surprising season that many did not see coming.  They won the first game in the Auburn regional, only to fall in the next two games and be eliminated from post season play.  Through the injuries, the Knights had a successful season and hope to continue to become relevant in not only the conference, but also in post season play.

UCF Softball falls to UCLA in Super Regional, yet the tournament has been spectacular (E80)

While I was sad to see us get blown out at UCLA, it is not surprising with the amount of Home Runs and Runs per Game that the Bruins put up.  We showed some fight in both games early, but we could not keep the bats for UCLA quiet for long.  It was a great year for our Lady Knights with knocking off the in-state FSU Seminoles in the Regional.  We had some veteran players that helped this team mature quickly and hope we can keep a good nucleus of players as the portal season for softball is upon us.  We also will need some additional depth in the rotation and at the plate.  I have watch much of the tournament and it has been another exciting year.  This week will be a rematch of Texas and Texas Tech, which I will be pulling for the Big 12 to get it done this year after falling 2 games to 1 last season.  Congrats to some local high school teams, Hagerty and Winter Springs on their softball championship.  I got to see my alma mater Columbia High School not only beat my wife's Seminole team but also win the 4A Championship right down the road from my house a few Saturdays ago.  Way to go Lady Tigers!  Have 3 classmates' children on the team and it was good to catch up with them.  Tomorrow I will talk UCF Baseball, but until then, Go Knights! Charge On!

Softball loses first game of tournament while Baseball battles to stay at the top of the conference (E79)

Happy Mother's Day!  It has been a few weeks since the last show and I share what a crazy two weeks it has been.  Then we catch up with Spring Football, Softball, and Baseball for UCF.  Other spring sports are finishing up as well as we are closing in on the summer.  I talk about some other top stories around the country, city, and the BIG 12.  Last, I talk about some more additions to the Knights' basketball teams.  Looking forward to wrapping up school so I can do more shows.

We have another 1st round draft pick in the NFL and how are the Knights doing around the nation (E78)

Short one today, but we will touch on another UCF Knight selected in round 1 of the NFL draft.  Who else should be keep an eye on this weekend?  Also, we touch on the last-minute basketball portal moves for both the Men's and Women's team.  In baseball, the Knights lost the 2 weekend games and could not pull off more Sunday magic and lost the series to Cincy.  They would pull out the victory against Bethune Cookman on Tuesday.  Can they stop the free fall this week in Utah?  Softball took 2 of 3 from Kansas with the bats going cold on Sunday.  They also won their weekday game on Wednesday versus North Florida.  Next for them is a Home and Home series with #5 UF.  I plan on attending tomorrow night's game at the Plex and hope they can at least steal one of them.  Last, it's my birthday and I tell you how my day went and super excited for my girls as they finished the season as the 2nd seed, 4-1 and will start their tournament run tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and Go Knights, Charge On!
