Game 8 - Game Called - UNC 3 ECU 3 FINAL

[drugDAWGxUNC14]

Just not commanding the strike zone nearly enough

way to make me eat my words. Heel ya

 

[ranzino4three]

I know some of y’all wanted to pull lynch but I trust him more in that spot than anyone in our bullpen.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

So frustrating. Our offense needs to wake up!

 

[premn]

This feels a lot like the last series we had against a real team. Super frustrating after a dominant Friday.

I think we struggle as favorites against highly motivated teams—we play tight. I know Forbes likes to have things be even keeled and it works, obviously, but it’s hard to watch as a fan when scrappy teams are showing us up like this and we just kind of plod along.

 

[GraceNugent]

Colby Weber exits, Gavin Marley enters for ECU

 

[TarHeelColby10]

We have to have success against a second rate BP arm.

 

[Hhs2013]

Yeah have to do damage…ECU doesn’t have much high level pitching left…at least on paper

 

[GraceNugent]

Schaffner hit in the head, coaches and Terri Joe with him now but he is up and jogging to first basin seemingly as good a condition as you can be in after getting hit in the head by an 89 mph pitch

 

[BlueHeels02]

Omg

 

[unc80]

That should fire you up guys!

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

We have freaking got to do something here. Right now. Come on boys!!!

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Attack him early in this AB

 

[GraceNugent]

Gavin making his mark once again with an RBI line drive single to right right over the outstretched arm of ECU's 1st baseman.

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Gavin!!

 

[uncjhodges]

Gavin! LFG

 

[Hhs2013]

Finally. Some clutch hitting

 

[premn]

There we go

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Thank you, Gavin! We need to tie it up now!

 

[GraceNugent]

Paulsen RBI single ties it up sending Schaff home

 

[premn]

yeahhhh buddy

 

[unctar2001]

 

[Hhs2013]

Destroy this pitcher

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Erik!!!

 

[GraceNugent]

UNC has shown they need to keep the foot on the gas as ECU makes a pitching change

 

[TarHeelColby10]

That’s how to do some damage against a lowly BP arm!

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Well thank you as well, Erik!!! Let’s go boys! Take ECU down!!!

 

[BlueHeels02]

huge

 

[uncjhodges]

Paulsen 3 good ABs today

 

[GraceNugent]

Ethan Rose, a sidewinder, enters for ECU

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

These officials are hot GARBAGE!!!

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Man what a piss poor job by these unps today.

 

[TarHeelColby10]

You can steal 3rd with so much ease against a low slot guy……

 

[goheels1117]

There was a moment of panic watching those two hits on TV. First I thought Gavin’s liner might be right at the 1B. Then I couldn’t tell where the SS was playing on Paulsen.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Well, that was a pretty horrible at bat. Damn.

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Make up call there

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Ugh. Come on, Coop.

 

[GraceNugent]

UNC puts up two in the inning and it is tied at 3 here on this rainy afternoon, Lynch heads back out to the mound

 

[goheels1117]

If it’s going to rain like this, just go into a delay. Game is dead even through 5, don’t want to see it decided because of some nonsense.

 

[premn]

That’s why Forbes likes the order to go right-left the whole way

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Feels like we may have played these 5 innings for nothing. Glad we tied it up there, though. Would have been nice to cash in one more and grabbed a rain-shortened win.
