With Friday's college baseball action in the books, here's our inside look back at the highlights and lowlights from around the country.


TEAM OF THE DAY: Oregon

The Ducks are playing an outstanding brand of baseball. They made significant statements the last two weekends with series wins over Arizona State and UCLA, Now, they could very well be on their way to a road series win over Stanford. Oregon starting pitcher Alex Keudell struck out seven and allowed just a run on five hits in nine innings, as the Ducks captured a huge 4-2 extra-inning win over the Cardinal. While Keudell put together an outstanding pitching performance, J.J. Altobelli, Brett Thomas and Kyle Garlick each had two hits. Also worth noting, Stanford starting pitcher Mark Appel struck out 13 and allowed just a run on 10 hits in nine innings of work.


PLAYER OF THE DAY: Henry Sisson, lhp, Davidson

The Wildcats certainly haven't had a good season thus far, but the freshman left-handed pitcher gave them something to cheer about Friday in a 1-0 win over Wofford. Sisson tossed a no-hitter in the win over the Terriers. He struck out nine batters and walked just three in the complete game performance. The no-hitter was the first since Davidson's Wes Self tossed one in 2001 against High Point.


UPSET OF THE DAY: Seton Hall over Louisville

The Cardinals hit the road earlier this week and captured a dominant win over in-state rival Kentucky, but took a small step back on Friday with a 3-2 loss to Seton Hall. SHU starting pitcher Jon Prosinski did a tremendous job of keeping the Cardinals in check, allowing just two runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings of work. Meanwhile, Louisville starting pitcher Justin Amlung struck out four and allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings of work. UL reliever Dace Kime tossed three scoreless innings, but the Cardinals simply were unable to get much going offensively, finishing the contest with nine runners left on base.


FIVE BEST

Arkansas (25-8): Razorbacks starting pitcher Ryne Stanek didn't have a great night, allowing six runs in 3 1/3 innings, but reliever Cade Lynch rose to the occasion as the Hogs defeated Kentucky 8-7. While Lynch led the charge on the mound, leadoff hitter and shortstop Tim Carver did the honors at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and two RBIs.

Southern Mississippi (20-13): The Golden Eagles have struggled at times this season, but played exceptionally well on Friday night in a 1-0, 14-inning win over Central Florida. USM junior right-handed pitcher Andrew Pierce struck out 10 and allowed just five hits in nine innings of work, while freshman reliever Bradley Roney struck out five in five shutout innings. Interestingly, first baseman Blake Brown and catcher Chase Fowler each finished the game with two hits.

Clemson (20-15): Clemson is another team that has played a much better brand of baseball the past couple of weeks. The Tigers put together a very solid performance in a 7-6 win over N.C. State. Clemson outfielder Thomas Brittle went 4-for-7 with three runs scored and two RBIs, while stud third baseman Richie Shaffer went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Pitching-wise, reliever Scott Firth performed at a high level. He struck out four and allowed three runs on two hits in 6 1/3 innings of work. The Tigers improved to 9-7 in ACC play.

Arizona (24-9): After playing an iffy brand of baseball last week against Utah Valley and Utah, the Wildcats appeared to be back to normal Friday in a 4-3 win over UCLA. Wildcats starting pitcher Kurt Heyer allowed just three runs (two earned) on eight hits in a complete game performance. Meanwhile, at the plate, Joey Rickard, Alex Mejia, Robert Refsnyder and Seth Mejias-Brean each finished the contest with two hits. The Wildcats remain atop the Pac-12 standings.

North Carolina (25-9): The Tar Heels didn't play particularly well last weekend down at Miami, resulting in a series sweep. But this team appeared focused in a very impressive 2-1 extra-inning win over Virginia. UNC sophomore left-handed pitcher Kent Emanuel put together yet another impressive performance, striking out seven and allowing just one run on three hits in eight innings of work. Meanwhile, relievers R.C. Orlan and Michael Morin did their typical duties, each tossing perfect innings for the Heels.


FIVE DISAPPOINTMENTS

Mississippi State (21-13): It was an incredibly difficult night for the Bulldogs. State had a commanding 6-3 lead headed to the bottom of the eighth inning against South Carolina, but then everything fell apart and they dropped a disappointing 7-6 decision. The late-inning meltdown ruined a big-time performance from outfielder C.T. Bradford, who went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and three RBIs.

Texas (18-13): Should the Longhorns have any chance at all to get into the NCAA hosting discussion, which was slim entering the weekend to begin with, they better finish the weekend with a pair of wins over Oklahoma State. OSU starting pitcher Andrew Heaney mystified the UT offense, as the 'Horns dropped a 3-1 decision to the Cowboys. The loss spoiled a solid performance by UT starting pitcher Nathan Thornhill, who struck out five and allowed a run in 6 2/3 innings.

Santa Clara (18-13): The Broncos were one of the best stories in college baseball just a few weeks ago. Now, they're struggling once again to stay out of the West Coast Conference cellar. SCU starting pitcher Tommy Nance allowed just two runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings of work, but that wasn't enough as his team dropped a 4-2 decision to a very solid Gonzaga club. Sitting at 1-6 in the WCC, the Broncos must find a way to win the final two games of the series.

Georgia Tech (20-15): Speaking of teams that can't seem to buy a break, how about the Yellow Jackets? Tech starting pitcher Buck Farmer struck out eight and allowed no earned runs (but four runs) on eight hits in six innings of work. Meanwhile, relievers Alex Cruz and Jonathan Roberts took care of business. However, the Jackets dropped a 4-2 decision to Wake Forest, as Demon Deacons starting pitcher Tim Cooney tossed nine shutout frames in the winning cause. The Jackets are in a major danger zone, sitting at 6-10 in the ACC.

Mississippi (23-12): It only was three weekends ago the Rebels were riding incredibly high after a home series win over Florida. Now, they're back in trouble, suffering another SEC series loss on Friday, as Georgia defeated them 6-3 to clinch the series win. Ole Miss starting pitcher R.J. Hively struggled, allowing five runs on seven hits in four innings, while the offense was unable to accomplish much against talented Georgia arms such as Alex Wood and Bryan Benzor. Wood struck out seven and allowed just three runs on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings.

The State of Recruiting in the Northeast

Ryan Miller
Article Image
Cold weather states face unique obstacles when producing baseball talent and none persevere better than those in the Northeast. States such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, among others have annually funneled high-level recruits throughout the country to college baseball’s premier destinations. New England has specifically made a name for themselves, in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and occasionally Vermont or New Hampshire. Below, we look at the programs who annually land top talent from the East Coast, showcasing the vast spectrum of area competitors.   Top ACC Bidders Maintain Grasp on the Northeast    An extended look at '27 RHP Enmanuel Acevedo (NY)... @PG_Uncommitted #WWBAWorlds @PGMidAtlantic https://t.co/8uH6Lg95OL pic.twitter.com/vpQdG0G7qI — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) October 21, 2025 Duke and Virginia will be tied to the hip for the...

Scout Stories: Part 1

Best Game I Saw:  Feel like I may put this every year (don’t fact check me), but the PG All American Classic is always up there, I’m sure I could pick a game where I saw Seth Hernandez shove for Corona here too, but the All American Classic is always just loaded with talent and it pretty well wraps up a long summer of baseball.  Being back at Petco Park makes it even more special as it’s simply one of my favorite venues to watch a game, and seeing a group of the top high school players in the country in that yard is simply awesome.  And to have the West squad win, just makes it that much better (Yes, I’m a left coast homer).  The Underclass All Star Game kicking things off has made the event even better the last few years, and gave us a taste of what to look forward to down the road.  I’m sure Kinon Bastian will have numerous big...

Memphis Tigers 2025 Highlights: Head coach Matt Riser began to put his stamp on the program in his first year as skipper after leaving Southeastern Louisiana where he won over 300 games in 10 seasons. He is a proven winner and while they took their lumps at times last year, they did beat Ole Miss at home for the first time since 2001 and achieved their first conference road sweep in over a decade at Rice. Under his direction there was a significant uptick in offensive production as they slugged 68 home runs (fifth most in program history) and walked 284 times (third most in program history). They also saw massive improvements on the mound, putting together a sound rotation and the back end of the bullpen was excellent securing 16 saves. Ultimately, they would miss the American Athletic Conference tournament, but the foundation is in place for 2026 to be one of the best in recent history....

Down on the Farm: NL West

David Rawnsley
Article Image
It’s the time of the year again (i.e. the off-season) for the annual PG Down on the Farm feature.  We identify a top prospect in each of the 30 Major League organizations with as much Perfect Game background as possible and delve into that PG history for some insight into his development as a prospect.  Some of them might be high profile, high draft pick, ex-PG All-American talents who fans have been long familiar with.  Others might be more obscure prospects who have significantly improved either in college or as professionals.  Note that players who have used up their rookie eligibility are not considered. The idea isn’t to necessarily pick the best PG background prospect in each organization but the one who might be closest to the big leagues.  Sometimes that is the same player, other times not. And there is plenty of variation among organizations...

PG All-Americans: Where are they now?

Tyler Kotila
Article Image
PG All-Americans - Where are they now? Every year, Perfect Game hosts its All-American Classic, one of the most prestigious honors for high school players across the country. It’s a storied event with 23 years of rich history — between the countless big leaguers who have gone on to produce incredible big-league careers, to future World Series champions, and players from more recent years who still have a whole road ahead of themselves. This week, our PG Draft Team has decided to take a look back at the history of this event over the years. Our scouts on the draft team went through and selected a PG All-American Classic from the past to discuss across three different eras. Over its 23-year history, we have divided it into three eras: the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s. Our Scouts take a look at some of the noteworthy performers from the years they chose, and give a little...

UNC Greensboro Spartans 2025 Highlights: A year after head coach Cody Ellis led the Spartans to the SoCon Regular Season title in 2024, the exodus of impact talent caught up with his club. They started off the season in a promising way with a series win over Creighton, a mid-week win over Wake Forest and a victory on the road at Virginia Tech. However, they would end up losing 8 out of their next 10 games and from there the rollercoaster of a season began. When it was all said and done, the Spartans won 21 games, finished 6th in the regular season with 9 wins in conference play and would lose to Wofford in the first game of the SoCon Tournament. Impact Returners: · Junior Jacob Dilley (.255/.431/.356, 7 doubles, 6 HR, 20 RBI) has the full complement of tools behind the dish with improved power and plate discipline · Sophomore Parker Wight (.260/.479/.399, 11 doubles, 9 HR,...

Dan Pardini, LHP, Class of 2026 Commitment: Penn State Penn State continued their Tri-State area recruiting trend, landing southpaw Dan Pardini out of Christian Brothers Academy. Pardini works from a medium left-handed frame with present strength in the lower half. He starts above the belt before transitioning into a sidestep windup that features a high and quick leg load. Pardini fires down the mound via a standard reach back arm action and a true three-quarters slot, with ease and repeatability to the operation. The Nittany Lions’ recruit operates in the mid-to-high 80s with the heater, flashing cutting action, while mixing in a sweeping slider. Pardini displays feel to land on both offerings, carving through lineups thanks to his two-pitch mix. High speed look at the FF-SL from '27 3B/RHP Joseph Webb (TN)... @PG_Uncommitted #WWBAWorlds @PG_Tennessee https://t.co/5MD4KG6ZKv...
