Game 63 - UNC 4 USC 3 - Heels to Omaha

[GraceNugent]

One run scores on the balk and USC gets two hits on Glauber but he strikes out three stranding a runner at third

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Good start by Caden. Proud of him. Now our offense better step up.

 

[Heels096]

Gotta score at least 1 anyway. Wipe it

 

[glfrheel86]

When was the last time you saw a high level pitcher trip on the mound and balk in a run… that’s CRAZY.

Not since little league

 

[Hhs2013]

Ok, ok 1 run won’t kill us….better than 13 against Auburn

 

[unc80]

Set down La La Land boy.

 

[goheels1117]

If he had just bounced the ball to the plate at about 50 mph after he tripped, he would have gotten out of that with nothing.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Let’s settle in now. And we can still win this inning.

 

[BigJulius94]

Just super unlucky in the balk

he will settle in he’s pitching well

 

[unctarheel1984]

Unfortunate ball scores a run, but DAMN.

 

[UNC23NDME]

Weren’t gonna win with zero anyways. Let’s score

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Good start by Caden. Proud of him. Now our offense better step up.

It was an okay start. Good is a clean inning.

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

Way to recover Globe. Could’ve been a lot worse than it was there.

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

We are LUCKY to get out of that only down 1. Good fight back by Globe, but so many pitches in that heat and humidity.

 

[aranapc33]

Hell of a job putting that ball behind him

 

[TarHeelDad]

This is what I was afraid of. Should have stayed with what has worked.

 

[mebaneheel358]

1 run ain’t winning this game. Better bring the bats and help the young kid settle in. We’re fine! Go Heels!

 

[23Jordan23]

If your ace is ready to go for the deciding game 3, you throw him! Great call by Coach Forbes imo

 

[NoHighHeels]

Good job getting out of the jam. Could've been disastrous. Unfortunately every run is going to be important and magnetized today bc im sure we'll struggle scoring as well

 

[egr2teup]

Glauber did well to limit the damage after the balk.

The first inning is often times the worst for a pitcher. Hopefully, he'll settle down moving forward.

Now, let's get eight runs to answer.

 

[UNC23NDME]

Might be the funniest way to give up a run tbh

 

[UNC09Lifer]

I really think he is over-thinking. Starting is just different, no matter the physical talent. Hopefully he can flush it now that the first hit and first run have already happened. Let’s get our bats going.

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Not since little league

Right?

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

This is what I was afraid of. Should have stayed with what has worked.

He had a couple jitters but looks to have settled in more in those later at bats. Cant be mad at Forbes giving the most talented arm we have the start.

 

[Handle]

Balk and 2 hard hit balls - 1 run not the worst that could have happened.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Let's go! Pound the baseball and get Caden some support.

 

[sm17]

3Ks, kid will be fine. Even with the pitch count, there are plenty of arms ready to deal.

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Need to make this guy throw at least 20 this inning…

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

We absolutely need to get his pitch count up.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Let’s win inning 1. At least one run and more pitches for Johnson than Glauber threw.

 

[THBTHB]

tight strike zone

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Blue is giving the high strike

 

[misterdoctor]

@JoeyPowell son getting some airtime before the start of the bottom inning! Love the spirit

 

[Kizlow13UNC]

Man that’s unlucky

 

[Heels096]

Lmao that’s how this day is going to go I guess.

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Of course that deflection goes right to their third baseman. June baseball baby.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Schaff was slow out of the box there. Thought he had a chance to beat that out.

 

[jsim596]

What an unreal lucksack of a bounce.

 

[THBTHB]

Blue is giving the high strike

yeah that second one was nicely framed but didn't look in ... calling it tight on the corners though

 

[jamesfromstatefarm]

Don’t want to overreact but that does not feel like a great omen
