What began as the Garrett Wittels chasing history series has slowly developed into a heavyweight fight between two mid-majors showing the nation they are ready to play on the big stage. After SLU landed a vicious right hook on Friday with a 10-2 win, the Panthers picked themselves up off of the canvas with a 8-2 win on Saturday to even the series. The rubber match on Sunday is set for Sunday at 6:30. The game can be seen on ESPN3.com. As of Saturday evening ESPN was not sure if the game will be televised on ESPNU.
