Congratulations to @FGCU_Baseball leadoff hitter Brian Ellis for reaching base for the 102nd(!) game in a row. The NCAA doesn't keep that in its record books, but the previous accepted mark was @TexasBaseball Mark Payton (101g, 2013-14).

. @BCBirdBall takes down No. 3 Tennessee, 7-6, in extra innings. What an unreal game. Eagles threw out the winning run at the plate in the 9th, then Cameron Leary got it done with a HR in the 10th. Nine wins in a row for Birdball

Tyler Finke ( @tylerfinke ) not only became the @LionUpBaseball career leader in steals (72) today, but he also clubbed a solo HR to pad the Lions lead in the top of the ninth. Finke and the Lions beat Auburn, 8-3, and have a rubber match tonight.

Sabin Ceballos ( @20_sabin ) is on the board for @OregonBaseball with his first HR of the year. Big time junior college addition who hit .341 with 17 HRs in two years at San Jacinto. Ducks lineup will be a lot to deal with this year.

. @WakeBaseball ace Rhett Lowder won a huge 10-pitch battle with Louisville's Christian Knapczyk. Knapczyk represented the tying run, but froze him for the K looking. Another excellent outing for Lowder. 7 K through 5 scoreless and at just 70 pitches.

Not one, but two grand slams off the bat of @MT_Baseball eight-hole hitter Brett Vondohlen last night — and he had a third HR for good measure, too. Blue Raiders got a big 16-9 win over Western Kentucky as Vondohlen set the program's single-game RBI record w/ 10.

This might be one of the very few times Enrique Bradfield's speed will cost Vanderbilt. Second baseman is covering the bag on his steal and gets an easy double-play turn as a result because the ball is hit right at the base. Insane. To the 17th!
