Baseball vs. Florida - game 2

[WarTiger 3,896]

Bottom 2nd, and Auburn has the bases loaded with 1 out.  Damon Haecker up.  

[WarTiger 3,896]

Haecker strikes out looking.  2 outs  WIll Holland up and he drives one to right but its playable and a routine fly ball to end the 2nd.  NO SCORE.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Mize showing an elite level slider and Singer for Florida with some of the best arm-side run on a fastball you will ever see.  

Auburn hitters obviously trying to run up the pitch count by being patient at the plate.

Haecker had a big opportunity there. Part of me wishes we had Logan in that spot

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

This early pitching matchup setting up to potentially be one of the best of the season.  

Mize in on the hands at 97 for a strikeout to end the third.  NINETY-FREAKING SEVEN and located on the knuckles.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Todd reaches on a walk, then moves to 2nd on a wild pitch. He's at 3rd now, not sure how it got there.   McGuffin strikes out looking  1 out.   Josh Anthony up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Robert up with 2 outs and runner still on 3rd.

[WarTiger 3,896]

OK.. He balked the runner to 3rd and just balked again to score the run.  Auburn leads 1-0. 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Big balk there.  Lots of high stress pitches pays off for the Tigers.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Tigers playing the part of a well coached team.  That's a second baseman blocking it up like a pro behind the plate, much respect to Damon Haecker 'cause that's not easy.  And Casey Mize is absolutely FILTHY.  Gators hitters are looking completely stupid. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Estes doubles down the line to left.  1 out.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Hell yeah.  Lovin' what I'm seeing from this team.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Jarvis grounds one down the line at 3rd and its under the glove of the 3rd baseman and into left field.  Estes scores.  Auburn leads 2-0.  Haecker up.  1 out. Jarvis at 2nd.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Singer at 70 pitches with one out in the fourth.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

AU is playing smart baseball again. I love what they're doing at the plate. 

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Nice to see a consistent approach at working the pitch counts of the starters while still unleashing on mistakes.  Just a great game plan at the dish so far this weekend.  

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Error by Josh Anthony puts the lead off man on, and Fla now has bases loaded-no one out. First big test of the weekend. 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Out at the plate! 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

This is so good.  That's the number 5 team in the country leaving the bases loaded after putting the first three on.

 

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Houdini act there to keep them off the board!  Let's add on Tigers!

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

WAY TO GET OUT OF A JAM TIGERS!!!!

It wasn't an error.  It was a single.  Anthony wasn't going to throw him out with a perfect throw after that diving stop.  Base runner didn't advance, no error.   florida loads the bases with no outs and Auburn gets 3 straight out to get out of the inning and Auburn still leads 2-0.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Quick B5.  Nothing for AU.  To T6, up 2-0

It was huge mental mistake, he should have put that one in his pocket but he was trying to make a play for his pitcher and that is AWESOME.  We're making mistakes going as hard as we can go.  Many times you get some breaks in those cases.  That ball was about two feet from going into the stands.
