FIU hitting machine Garrett Wittels and coach Turtle Thomas will be LIVE on
Channel 7's Sports Xtra tonight at 11 p.m.
They will be talking about the big upcoming 3-game series with the Florida Atlantic Hooters in Boca Raton that could decide first place in the Sun Belt Conference. Plus, the sweep of South Alabama and clinching a berth in the upcoming Sun Belt Tournament.
The Panthers (16-11) trail the Hooters (19-8) by 3 games and need a sweep, plus 2 losses from Louisiana (18-9) and 1 loss from Middle Tennessee (16-10). The Cajuns finish the season against ULM and the Blue Raiders finish the season against Western Kentucky.
Middle Tennessee will play only 29 conference games, because they had a rain out vs. New Orleans and it will not be made up. FIU lost the season series to MT, but won the season series from UL
Of course, none of the scenarios above mean anything if FIU does not take care of business in the Rat's Mouth.
Good deal....Thank you for the info, Pete, as I will be watching channel 7 sports extra tonight. I hope we can get to Mouth Mouse next weekend and win that series as well.
Job well done by Garrett and FIU this weekend!!
Congrats!!

Hahaha. Mouth mouse. Rat mouth. I love those.
So, FIU can actually win the SBC?! Win the conference and make it to at least the second round of the conference tournament and FIU has a legitimate shot at an at large bid. Of course, hopefully we can win the SBC. Im hoping we come up big next weekend.

Pete,
Is there anyway we can get our hands on the interview from last night online? I missed it and would love to see it.
