I want him to get out early and pitch Sunday

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

2-1 southern heading into the bot 4

 

[13thEagle]

I want him to get out early and pitch Sunday

If i were u guys i would want that too. Looks like he could do well as a weekend guy.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

perfectly executed squeeze play. Tied at 2

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

E-3, State scores, 3-2

 

[57stratdawg]

Another gift from USM. 5-2. Pop up falls with two on.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

E-3, State scores, 3-2

official scorer changes it from E-3 to infield hit.
Mangum follows with another infield hit.
Then a popup double by Lowe scores 2
5-2 Dogs

Don't necessarily disagree. Pilkington has a lot of moxie. Wasn't quite as good as I was projecting tonight. Or, maybe, USM is just better at the plate. In his thusfar very short career, Pilkington doesn't beat himself. Pounds the zone. I'm fine with teams beating our pitchers -- it's when we beat ourselves(walks, errors) that bother me.

I thought he did pretty good. Retired 7 in a row before the leadoff hr in the 4th.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Top of the 5th it's 5-2 Dogs

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Humphreys double makes it 7-2 Dogs in the bot 6

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

8-2 after 6

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Freaking Tatum.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Freaking Tatum.

At this point there is no reason to put him out there even. No lead is safe with him.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Freaking Tatum.

yeah. gridley didn't help
3 runs 2 unearned.
8-5 going into bot 7

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Humphreys strikes out 2 in the top of the 8th.
State leads 10-5

Good game, guys (assuming we don't pull off a miracle in the 9th). Would have been a nice win for us but we'll get two shots at Ole Miss in the next couple weeks to try and pad our top 50 wins total.

I will root for usm over the rebels.
Wrap this one up 13-5 for 18th win of the season.

 

[Baddmann]

Good win for us.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Good win for us.

Really .. not much bad about last night. Had 18 hits, extra base hits, squeeze bunt to score .. Pilkington/Rigby/Hump looked good with 11 SOs and 0 BB. Lowe (4), Robson (3), Marrero (3) .. had huge night at the plate. Holland (2), Hump (2), Gridley (2) had multiple hits.

Not much bad. Gridley E hurt .. left 12 on base.

Tried to keep track of number of runs scored with 2 outs. To me. seemed like we did 'most' of our scoring then. Big difference from last year.
