Funk pitching well in the first inning. Gave up a walk, but what else is new?

Cards plate a couple of runs in the third inning.
Funkhouser has settled in and Louisville is going to be very tough to beat.

After a couple of unimpressive innings at the plate Rosenbaum gets it started in the bottom of the 3rd with a single through the right side, followed with a walk to Taylor. Ray gets his 2nd hit up the middle to score Rosenbaum and Will Smith RBI groundouts to the right side scores Taylor.
Funk is his ole self throwing a lot of ground outs with control and keeping his fb low.

Two-run double off the wall for Drew Ellis. @UofLBaseball takes a 4-0 lead and WMU starter is getting run.
Sorry Howie, I would contribute to the thread, but I'm watching the game on my iPad, and it's a pain to go back and forth from ESPN3 to the board. Funk's doing well, and that was a nice rocket to the wall from Ellis. Go Cards!!!

Funk has thrown 4 different pitches for strikes today. WMU having a hard time getting solid contact, even Funks misses are in the dirt.
WMU brings in a lefty to face Tibiri and gets the bases loaded SO to end the inning.

The 5th was almost a carbon copy of the 4th inning. Runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, then they advance on a passed ball. 2 hitters had the chance to pull an "Ellis" and bring in some 2 out runs.
The Broncos are on the scoreboard as Connor Smith drives Drew Farmer home with a RBI single to left.
LOU 4, WMU 1 - Top 6th

Funkhouser battled a little bit in the 6th, but just got out of it with only 1 run crossing. Cards up 4-1.
Funk struggling a bit to find the strike zone. He was in the danger zone. Better have some bodies warming up.
Umpire was watching the feet at first, but WMU got the tag on him before Ellis reached first.
Good thing there is no video reviews in Regionals.

Will Smith got plunked right on the knee. I bet that will hurt tomorrow. Today, too, but worse tomorrow.
Louisville skip Dan McDonnell landed a new $1 Million per year contract and Friday Funkhouser is dealing. He’s a happy man.
Funkhouser rolls through the 7th. He has given up just 3 hits vs. 25 batters. 6 Strikeouts and 3 walks. #Funhouser
You need a Chromecast, Steelers! I dialed up the game on my iPad, cast it onto my big screen TV using the Chromecast, and then I can do whatever else I want on the iPad while watching the game, just like normal. $20 and super easy to set up.
Tiberi muscled that 70mph hanging curve barely over the fence. Impressive.
Couldn't have asked for better results for our NCAA opener. Funkhouser goes 8 full innings in a 6-1 win to raise our home record to 33-1.
Tiberi's homer makes up for all those guys left on base in the 5th and 6th(I know,I know) but without it,the game gets a little more antsy late.
I thought Funk was staying away from his fastball.He was missing low a lot with the off speed,but I think purposely so.If he can manage to locate the off speed in the strike zone,like Burdi to a degree,he then uses the 94 mph like he wants.
Good game Cards!Win and advance.Btw,Tiberi had a stellar game at 3rd to go with the homer.
