Coastal Carolina-IU: CC 6 IU 5 Final
- Thread starter ptrich
- Start date
A really ugly inning for Sommer as CC strikes for 3 runs in the 4th. Sommer had a couple of walks, a throwing error, and hit a batter. That, combined with a throwing error by Walker at 2B, led to the runs. Krueger replaced Sommer with the bases loaded and 2 outs, to retire the final out. Two more errors to go along with the five from yesterday in one game.
In the 7th, IU finally got some offense going as Houston, Gorski and Ashley opened the inning with singles to tie the game. After a Kaletha SO, Lloyd singled to score Gorski, giving IU the lead. Fineman grounded into a DP to end the inning.
IU dodged a bullet in the 7th. Saalfrank replaced Krueger and got a GO to start the inning, but then gave up a triple. He came up big after that, getting a SO and a GO to end the inning.
How in the heck was that Lloyd shot only a single? Should've scored 3 that inning. If we are going to swing recklessly at the plate, we ought to run the bases recklessly too. Makes no sense to be conservative knowing a strike out or 2 is looming.
Yes. IU batting with one out in the 8th, and has padded the lead. It took them awhile, but they finally found some offense. It helps that they are getting deep into their bullpen.
Saalfrank gave up a two out single in the 8th, and Manous has relieved him.
So far, its been pretty dependable. If Manous gets the last out in the 8th, I assume Lloyd will come on to close it out.
IU is batting T9th and is three outs away from a resume-building win.
Coastal is ranked as high as 11 in the polls I'm looking at. Would be a huge dub. Common guys!
Yeah, there are something like four or five college baseball polls. But, CC is probably ranked in all of them.
Evidently, they are leaving Manous in there to try and close it out.
College baseball polls have always cracked me up. What's the official poll? Who the hell knows.
Manous is starting to get into some trouble with two on and one out.
