Rivera walks.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs for Kendall Veach.

[AUDub 11,147]

Alright, Kendall. Smack is one here and score Haley. 

 

Rats.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach slow roller to 2nd, and they get the force at 2nd to end the inning.   Auburn tied it 2-2 off the McCrackin homer and a couple of base hits.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Carlson sets down Cal in order.    Shea, Podany and McCrackin coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea flies to shallow left.  1 out.  Carmyn Greenwood coming up, and she chops it to 2nd. 2 outs.  McCrackin up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

McCrackin singles up the middle.   Victoria Draper coming up.

[AUDub 11,147]

Casey having a good day. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Draper grounds to 3rd to end the 4th.   Game tied 2-2

[wildling 35]

What did the ump call? Looked like he made a fist.

[WarTiger 3,901]

2 out single and a run scores, damn it.   Home plate umpire rules it interference at home plate and the run counts.   Auburn trails 3-2.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Chopper back to Carlson ends the top 5th.  Cooper, Wallace and Fagan coming up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper grounds to 2nd.  1 out.   Wallace coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace grounds to short, 2 outs.  Haley Fagan up.   Fagan singles to right center.   Rivera up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

wild pitch moves Fagan to 2nd.

[wildling 35]

Pinch run for Fagan pls.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Rivera chops it up the middle, short stop fields throw to 1st not in time, ball gets away from the 1st baseman and Fagan moves to 3rd on that error.   Runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs for Kendall Veach.   With 2 outs, Fagan should have been running on contact and would have scored on the error.  Unfortunate.

[FUZZYAUFAN 134]

Base running error will cost AU a run. Fagen should have been running on the hit and would have scored on the bad throw. 

[wildling 35]

Good baserunning by Fagan, you see a lot of players get caught there.

 

Edit: Didn't even see Fuzzy's post, but I vehemently disagree.

[FUZZYAUFAN 134]

Crap a pop up on the infield.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Rivera pops it up to 2nd to end the thread.  damn it.  Auburn trailing 3-2

[WarTiger 3,901]

Greenwood makes a nice catch against the wall in left.  I thought that one was gone.   Great catch. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Carlson puts them down in order.  Let's get some runs here.   Shea, Greenwood and McCrackin coming up.

Ball was at Fagan. She should be running in that situation. If it were in front of her, no, but it was at her and she was moving toward third already. If she were thrown out at 3rd, I would have been ok with that.

Ball was to her right, the general rule is to your right don't go. You're ok with giving up an out and a runner in scoring position for no reason?

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea flies to center.  1 out.   Looks like we will get a pinch hitter here.  Whitney Jordan coming up.
