Game 63 - UNC 4 USC 3 - Heels to Omaha

[uncjhodges]

Strike 2 was right there for the hitting.

95 down the middle, 96 down the middle, 97 down the middle. 0 for 3

 

[HeelsGrad&Dad]

What a terrible at bat

 

[unc879wins]

So were strikes 1 and 3.

strike 1 was the money ball

 

[jsim596]

I like watching first pitch but you have to take a cut at the third. Don’t want your first swing against that heat being with two strikes.

 

[FourHeels]

Make it 28 LOB this weekend

 

[TarheelWFcpa]

That was likely the last chance to take this game.

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

Alright Jackson do your thing and then pray buddy.

 

[Rockheel1650]

That and the number of times a pitcher can throw over. Speed the game up.

USC slows the game down the most of any team Heels have seen this year

 

[tylerhol]

That was the absolute worst AB you could have in that situation

 

[KrazyLegs]

A first pitch swing may work here.

I mean, that was the most hittable pitch of the AB.

 

[Polkheel98]

What was Hynek looking for? Story of the weekend.

 

[FanaticalHeel]

I think that was the season. Don’t trust Howe, Nicholson and French to start a rally.

 

[OGDookSucketh]

Too many ducks left on the pond!

 

[UNC09Lifer]

Go where you go, do what you do….

 

[THBTHB]

 

[GoHeels834]

Howe, Coop, French. Ball game over

 

[BALLZACK81]

As a D1 player I can’t for the life of me understand why we keep taking pitches down the middle. This is not the time to guess

 

[MayetheForce]

So glad Carter French came in for defense while trailing! Great to have him due up third in the ninth with the season on the line! Great stuff!

Nunez time?!

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Hynek wanted no part of that.

I’ve seen scared at bats.

He didn’t want that smoke.

10000%

 

[uman1]

dam. huge opportunity missed.

 

[BCHeel]

Ugh and 7-8-9 for bottom of the ninth.

Nicholson is going yard. Calling it

 

[lward343]

Go where you go, do what you do….

Nope, that's for basketball. They win things sometimes. The ritual pays off every now and then.

Whatever you do for UNC baseball, everyone do the opposite. The Mojo sucks.

 

[premn]

French is going to hit his first career HR with Howe and Coop on base to walk it off

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Go where you go, do what you do….

And what do we do in June?

 

[uncjhodges]

Howe needs the AB of his life to start the 9th

 

[CCHeel1]

Why watch 2 strikes in this situation?

This is the season of the take a good pitch then strike out.

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

As a D1 player I can’t for the life of me understand why we keep taking pitches down the middle. This is not the time to guess

I’m all for being conservative but we do conservative the wrong way.

 

[unc879wins]

no drama 3 up 3 down would be nice.

 

[TommyAshley]

T9
Cadena - 4-3

Forbes out - McDuffie in

 

[uncjhodges]

French is going to hit his first career HR with Howe and Coop on base to walk it off

i can assure you if those 2 guys are on, french is going to have a failed bunt attempt

 

[Docbryan]

On replay...those first two strikes, he wasn't even close to being ready to swing.

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

Great snag by Gavin.

 

[TaylorMadeHeel]

Made a post a couple weeks ago about us being a LH pinch-hitter short. Could have used it there.

But we already subbed the other catcher out with a pinch runner

 

[FanaticalHeel]

Why would you pull Rose here?

 

[GraceNugent]

Rose exits and Walker McDuffie enters

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Make it 28 LOB this weekend

Hard to win baseball games with that stat, much less a championship.

 

[Peppersthebeast]

Who pinch hits for French?

 

[tarheeltyler9]

Mistake pulling rose here

 

[uman1]

Hang tough Tar Heels.

 

[Pogo_ka]

Why?
