Why would you not pinch hit in that situation?
.218 hitter in the 7th representing the tying run,seems like a no brainer to me.
Maybe it's the stellar defense we'd lose if we pinch hit for him. ;)

Wow, I thought we were dead in the water the way we were playing. We played a major part in MSU being in the tournament after sweeping Maryland, but I thought MSU was being awful ungrateful for that the way they were treating us for most of the game.

Gotta second guess the MSU manager for throwing Tyranski in there after he had pitched 3.2 innings yesterday and got the loss vs. Minny.

We'll take it--we probably had an at-large cinched beforehand with a really good RPI, but this win almost certainly clinches it if it didn't before.
 
Gotta give those guys full credit. I was just about to turn it off when Gorski hammered that no-doubter. Then to come back and scratch one out in the 10th is just awesome. Love the tenacity they showed late in this game when I really thought they'd thrown in the towel. Great work fellas!
