Tigers will bat first in this game, which I've always thought was a stupid NCAA rule. Home field advantage should mean home field advantage.

Rittman just gave the home plate ump an ear full on his way to the circle! He's called at least a couple strikes balls so far. The last one should have ended the inning.
