[57stratdawg]

Rain delay. First pitch around 7:20

 

[MSUDC11]

Big opportunity for Pilkington to have a huge night against a bad hitting team. We have to give him run support, though. That's been an issue, hence why he's 2-3 with a really good ERA.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Are we on the TV?

 

[57stratdawg]

ESPNU

 

[57stratdawg]

Top of the 1st..

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

And, yes, I think that is why we are playing the Thur, Fri, Sat gig.

 

[57stratdawg]

Not much for MSU.

K, foul out, ground out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Top of the second..

 

[57stratdawg]

We started 6 RH against a righty tonight. See how that goes for us.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single but not much else. Couple Ks for Pilkington.

0-0 after 1.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff walk for MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

CBrown sacrifices. Almost beat it out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single from Poole. 1st and 3rd. 1 down.

Need a nice AB here from Alexander.

 

[57stratdawg]

Damn. Pop out to 1st on 1st pitch. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Damn. Lovelady sawed off, OM 1B can't bring it in, but 2B cleans it up.

0-0 Mid 2.

 

[Shamoan]

Awful ab by Alexander.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff walk for OM.

 

[57stratdawg]

Pop out. Deep fly out. 2 down, still runner at 1B.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ugly K ends the inning. 30 pitches for Pilkington through 2.

0-0.

 

[57stratdawg]

Blaylock Ks to start 3rd. Man that was an ugly AB.

 

[57stratdawg]

Mangum with a grounder to 2B. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rooker laces one, but LF tracks it down. Not getting much out of the top of the lineup so far tonight.

0-0.

 

[57stratdawg]

Easy inning for Pilkington. 1-2-3.

0-0

 

[57stratdawg]

Top 4: Two out walk for MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

Must have a read on Poole, 4 straight breaking balls. Fly out ends the inning.

0-0 Mid 4.

 

[was21]

Richard Cross may be a dick but you wouldn't know it by his broadcasting acumen of State sports...he's a pro

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff walk for OM.

 

[57stratdawg]

K. Then chop out to 3B. 2 down, runner on 2nd.

 

[57stratdawg]

2-2, 2 outs. Pilkington's breaking ball doesn't have much bite tonight.

 

[57stratdawg]

Double. 1-0.

 

[57stratdawg]

Grounder ends the inning, but OM grabs the lead.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ugly K for Blaylock, but OM throws it away.

 

[Joe Mayo]

So evidently our coaches are ok with Blaylock striking out every at bat.

 

[57stratdawg]

Mangum HBP. 2 on, 2 out. Rooker up.

 

[57stratdawg]

Dammit Rooker. What the hell. That ball was way off the plate and low.

0-1 Mid 5.

 

[Shamoan]

Rooker got played.

 

[Shamoan]

Not a great night at the plate. Missing the gas and jumping at **** pitches.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff walk. Pilkington doesn't have his best stuff tonight.

 

[57stratdawg]

Sac bunt puts the runner on 2. 1 down.
