Michigan State vs Cards

[PushupMan]

Quite the battle here in game 1. MSU 2-1 heading into the 7th. Eberle pitched well for us to start, but Sparty made him throw a lot of pitches through 4+ innings. Brown came in and surrendered the 2 out hit that delivered the tying and go ahead runs.

 

[PushupMan]

3rd UofL pitcher (Murphy) gives up a lead off HR in the 7th. Sparty up 3-1.

 

[PushupMan]

Who says Dan McDonnell can’t portal? Ben Slanker with the solo shot to reduce the Sparty lead to 3-2.

 

[PushupMan]

Cards get lucky! Sparty center fielder loses Lucas Moore’s fly ball in the sun, allowing the Cards to tie it up 3-3 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th.

Wouldn't mind seeing Nugent and Slanker flip flopped in the order for the rest of the series. He hasn't a competitive at-bat today. I also hope I find somebody who believes in me the way Mac does in Jack Brown! I just don't see it with him

 

[BlockedByPetrino2015]

Casen put that ball on a tee for him. Not many guys are going to miss that pitch in that spot!

 

[PushupMan]

Sparty pulls off the upset 4-3. Cards missing Zion Rose and no more eligibility left for Eddie “Clutch” King…

 

[CardX]

Is Zion hurt? He didn't play yesterday, not in the lineup today.

 

[Deeva]

Grand slam for State. Louisville down 8-2. Bottom of 4th.

 

[PushupMan]

Is Zion hurt? He didn't play yesterday, not in the lineup today.

Yes, he has an ankle injury that hasn’t completely healed at this point. He’s supposed to be back soon, though.

 

[PushupMan]

Cards get one run back in the bottom of the 5th, but still trailing 8-3.

 

[PushupMan]

A stinky 13-4 loss in game 2 - Sparty takes the series, and goes for the sweep today at 1pm.

 

[PushupMan]

Cards with a good start in game 3. Leads Sparty 3-0 after 1 inning. Wyatt Danilowicz on the mound for the Cards.

 

[PushupMan]

WD pitching well - 4 strikeouts through 2 innings. Cards add 2 more and lead 5-0 through 2.

 

[PushupMan]

Still 5-0 through 3. Good to see catcher George Baker in the game and being productive at the plate (1-1 so far today).

 

[PushupMan]

Cards get their first win (hopefully of many) - 9-1 final. Danilowicz plus 3 others combine to limit Sparty to 4 hits.
