Baseball vs. Longwood - game 2

[WarTiger 3,901]

Auburn got out of a jam in the top 1st with the 3rd out coming at home plate on a double steal attempt.

Bottom of the first started with a double and a single,  strike out, ground ball to 2nd brings the run home.  1-0 Tigers.   Anthony walks with 2 outs.  Steven Williams getting his first start at Catcher comes up.  His first at bat as an Auburn tiger and he drives one DEEP to center and its GONE.  3 run home run and Auburn leads 4-0.   Next batter up hit by a pitch. Holland bloops one down the right field line and it drops just fair.   Julien singles through the right side and Auburn leads 5-0

[WarTiger 3,901]

Runners on 1st and 3rd and back to the top of the order.   Jarvis up

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Way to go, offense!  Give Davis some room to settle in and rock 'n roll!

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Ha, the young catcher shows up in his first game.  And Butch said the Canadian was going to force his way into the lineup with his bat.  If you hit you play.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Have a day (in the first 2 innings) Steven Williams!  RBI knock to LF for his 4th RBI of the day.  6-0 AU B2

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Williams with two hits in his first two college AB's to drive in four runs.  6-0 Auburn in the bottom of the second.  5 of 6 runs have come with two out.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Venter 3-run HR over the LF wall!  9-0  AU

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

This may turn into a glorified BP session.

 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Steven Williams singles his 2nd at bat.     Brendan Venter sends one deep to left and its GONE over the monster.  Auburn leads 9-0

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

It will be interesting to see how deep Butch goes into the bullpen today.  Might be an opportunity for a lot of the youngsters to get a chance to go to the mound.

I'm a fan of "Confidence builders" early.

I wouldn't have a problem seeing Lurleen B Wallace on the schedule opening weekend.  

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

That last pitch that DD threw was a beautiful thing....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

The Canadian can rake.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

MSU always had a Canadian influence in their lineup.  Seems Butch might have been a part of that.  "Hey, come play in 75 degree weather" must be a decent recruiting pitch

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Estes with an RBI double off the LF wall.  10-0 B3.  This is fun.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Estes putting a big dent in the monster.  Everybody hits today.  10-0 and looking really bleak for the Lancers.  That's a medical term, right?

[SumterAubie 3,031]

So Wright hits the first homer of the season yesterday. As catcher. And today Williams hits the first homer of his career. As catcher.

I love baseball

I thought it was a really crappy car....

Pretty sure we've already gotten more HR production from the catcher spot in two games than we got all year last year.  I loved Blake Logan, but....

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Williams with another RBI.  3-3 today.  14-0 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

This is miserable for the Longwood catcher.  I've been there.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Will Holland keeping the chance of all 9 starters getting a HR.  2 run over the LF wall.  16-0 Tigers.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

That was a laser beam there.
