at Reckling against some D-II school. This is a fairly dangerous game for Rice b/c if they lose it, even though it's a D-II opponent, it will be counted against them (RPI-wise) as if it was a loss to a non-conference team in the bottom 25 of the RPI. Apparently Central Missouri State has a few solid arms to throw at Rice.

Owls win 5-2. The combination of Savery (10), Geer (8) and Cox (3) combined for 21 strikeouts.

Central Missouri was the D-II champions in 2003, and a team that Wayne Graham said could be a top-50 team in D-1.
