Game 57 - Georgia Tech 13 Carolina 6

[UNC23NDME]

Bad read gonna hurt us.

 

[goheels1117]

How do you not make it from first to third on a double off the wall? What happened there?

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I like the uniform matchup.

 

[TommyAshley]

T1

Schaffner - BB
Gallaher - Singles to second...nice play by Advincula to keep ball in infield
Hull - double to left, Schaffner scores, Gallaher out at third - 1-0 Carolina
Winslow - K swinging
Nicholsin - 6-3

Carolina 1-0 going B1

 

[GraceNugent]

Carson Kerce can play some stellar defense

 

[UNC23NDME]

What a play from Kerce.

 

[Hhs2013]

Just can’t get thrown out at third on a ball that wasn’t even close to being caught in the outfield

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

That was some incredible defense, unfortunately.

 

[2forheels]

The cardinal sin in baseball. Never make the first or third out at 3B. Gavin must have completely misjudged that ball because he should have been at 3rd base easily.

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Terrible base running there

No reason not to be able to read the left fielder and be standing up on 3rd…

 

[goheels1117]

That’s a mistake that can’t be made against a team like Georgia Tech and especially not by your junior captain. Let the pitcher catch his breath and probably took a crooked number off the board.

 

[GraceNugent]

Great heads up defense by Boaz, grabs the bouncing ground ball, and rifles it over to first

 

[GraceNugent]

Folger up to 95 on the gun

 

[CCHeel1]

In Gallaher's defense, the LF got a perfect bounce off the wall, which made the play possible. If it bounced to either side, GG is safe.

 

[premn]

Boaz very under control that inning, really good to see

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Boaz may be our best guy to start right now …

 

[UNC23NDME]

Atta boy Folg. Results haven’t shown it but his velo has ticked up recently.

 

[akillesheel17]

Folger up to 95 on the gun

96 on ball 2 (officially 95.5 on statcast), i think that's a career high

 

[GraceNugent]

Good first inning for Boaz, lots of soft contact to the infield (besides the 105 off the bat by Burress), getting up to 95 using his fastball predominantly, then putting in a slider and or change

 

[JAG]

Great inning Folg.

 

[TommyAshley]

B1

Kerce - 4-3 shifted
Burress - single to right
Advincula - 1-3, Kerce to second
Lackey - 5-3

Through 1 - 1-0 Carolina

 

[TommyAshley]

T2

Howe - F8
Hynek - K swinging
Paulsen - BB
Kellis - 2-1

1-0 Carolina going B2

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Paulson looking comfortable at the plate again….

 

[goheels1117]

T2

Howe - F8
Hynek - K swinging
Paulsen - BB
Kellis - 2-1

1-0 Carolina going B2

I know what you mean but 2-1 would be a wild play haha

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Man, if Folger could get the strike zone this umpire is giving their guy, we gotta chance. That first pitch to their #2 hitter was a strike. Then the second pitch to Hynek was a terrible call.

As stated, if Folger could get those calls, he can go 5innings. If not, not sure we have the arms left in the bullpen.
Go Heels!

 

[premn]

Yikes

 

[GraceNugent]

Zuckerman obliterates a ball, GT ties it up (380, 108.8 ev) off Folger's slider

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Boaz really missed his spot there. Was supposed to be in. Was out over the plate.

Oh well. Great to hear how excited the announcers are. -__-

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Yikes. That went a long ways. Whew.

 

[BlueHeels02]

Damnit

 

[HoopsHeel]

The cardinal sin in baseball. Never make the first or third out at 3B. Gavin must have completely misjudged that ball because he should have been at 3rd base easily.

I think he misread Forbes. Had to!

 

[GraceNugent]

Great response by Folger with a full pitch count strikeout of Kent Schmidt

 

[2forheels]

I don't like players that basically walk around the bases after a home run. I'd put it in his ear next time he comes

 

[CarolinaSkies]

The same guy the announcers are raving about wouldn’t hit .210 if u put a wooden bat in his hand. Baseball is an awful product to try to evaluate at the high school and college level because of the bat.

 

[UNC23NDME]

After the stuff they haven’t overturned, you can’t change this.

 

[uncjhodges]

Ramsey comes off as a prick

 

[tarheeltyler9]

We ain’t gotta call all weekend so I assume there gonna overturn this

 

[TarheelWFcpa]

We finally win on a challenge......

 

[Psycho50]

the dirt flew up when the ball hits the ground?!
