Scoring runs has not always been a strength for the Cincinnati Bearcats this season. They produced enough on offense to win the second-most games in American Athletic Conference play during the regular season but still ranked at the bottom of the league in many offensive categories, including batting average, runs and RBI. So when the conference tournament started on Tuesday, a major question facing them as they attempted to wash away a litany of recent postseason disappointments was how they would produce enough on the scoreboard to win games.
We have certainly gotten that answer in the first two outings, which have both ended in victory and have the Bearcats on the precipice of the AAC championship game.
