UTSA Baseball broadcast voice Jordy Fee-Platt makes his Around the Bird Bath debut to help us wrap up another highly successful season for the Roadrunners.

The tournament's #1 seed following their regular season championship, UTSA relied on their pitching staff on the way to the tournament finale, but ECU's Ethan Norby blew through the UTSA lineup to put an end to their season. There's a lot to unpack, including the Roadrunners' performance in the tournament, not receiving an at-large bid, and what the program will need to get back to the NCAA tournament next season.

For the second straight season, the Roadrunners are regular season champions. While UTSA had a very lack luster performance, winning just one game against UAB was enough to hand them the first overall seed and a share of the regular season title. Dan and Rylan recap the series and preview the conference tournament, as an at large bid looks to be increasingly difficult to attain.

The Roadrunners' defense let them down on the road in Tennessee as Memphis took two of three from UTSA, snapping the Roadrunners' historic conference series win streak.
