C-USA Championship: Setting the scene
By Ronnie Woodward - May 27, 2007
The C-USA Championship game is about 30 minutes away from starting, and the game features the top two seeds, No. 1 Rice and No. 2 ECU.
Fans are starting to pour into the stadium, I expect around 3,000 here today. The top crowd in Clark-LeClair history is 5,523, which came earlier this season against hated rival N.C. State. I don't think today's attendance will come to close to that mark. It's hard for C-USA games to have 5,000 people for a game because the teams are so spread apart, and there are no natural rivalries (except for Rice/Houston).
The game should start around 1 p.m.
In classic conference tournament final fashion, both pitchers will be making their first start of the season.
ECU is throwing lefty Josh Ruhlman (5-1, 6.00 ERA in 24 relief appearances)
Rice is starting Bryan Price (0-0, 3.24 ERA in 7 relief appearances)
As for now, I just got my all-tournament ballot, so I'm going to try to fill that out. I'll post after the first inningl.
