You can't make the third out at second base there. Just terrible. And Mangum of all people.

That is a single all day long. I get that he is trying to get the team going, but that was one of the worst decisions yet. Might have even run that pitcher with two guys warming in the pen.

With 2 outs, you try to be aggressive and get to 2nd so you can score on a single. The base you never want to make the 3rd out at is 3rd. It didn't work, but he was trying to make the right play.

Incorrect. Not down 4 runs. You need baserunners and had the middle of the order coming up.

This is baseball 101.

If you are in the lead or maybe down a run in a late situation, it's a different story.

I don’t really mind. He’s our best player, he can fly, plus that ball could have easily been throw to 3rd.

OSU did a great job getting that ball to 2nd base.

There is not a player in NCAA baseball that turns that hit and makes it a double. Mangum was out by four or five steps.

On the replay, it looked like he left the box thinking single. Had he been thinking two all the way, he's there.

Damn.

With 2 outs and a lifted line drive, that throw is never coming into 3rd. Skelton had 3rd basically standing up, and he’s probably the slowest guy in the lineup. That throw is always coming into 2nd.
