Took out the frustrations on the Kitties. 18 strikeouts. Impressive! Let’s go take care of Wilmington now!
Thad Ector has caught
Dominant performance all around last night!!
Weather could be an issue this Sunday. Perhaps play 2 Saturday?
Good chance of that.
Another thing to mention is that this series will not be on ESPN+. The CAA has a deal with FloSports unfortunately
They probably will, softball has already rescheduled for Friday and Saturday
clt says bigly news out of Rice
They just got swept at home by Yale. On the weekend they were honoring Wayne Graham. I thought this might happen but not before conference play had started.
Looks like we are developing some bad habits/trends of blowing multi-run leads…after leading 4-0, we are now down 8-4 and counting, less than 2 innings later.
Wheels coming off
Wheels, axles, transmission fell out…uhgg…these collapses are NOT a good trend…we have used 6 pitchers through 7 innings, including 3 in the 7th inning, 2 of which recorded zero outs.
Defense let us down today. 2 plays allowed their big inning to happen. The first was a tough play but probably should have been an out with a pop up between LF/ SS. That led off their big inning. Another when our RF lost the ball in the air (or never saw it) allowed multiple runs and the inning to continue. Neither were scored errors, but they were plays that we should make.
Bad things happen when you give the other guys 5 + outs in an inning. If we make those plays, Blake likely pitches through the inning and continues. Different game.
Staff has shown little patience tonight with walks. If you come in and can’t throw strikes, you’ll be out soon.
