Baseball vs Bryant Game 3

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Angelini and Panno still swinging it well for Bryant.  Single and a double respectively in the top of the fourth to take the 1-0 lead.  Auburn hitters still trying to figure out the soft tossing lefty for Bryant.  Tiger freshman Tanner Burns throwing the fastball up around 95-96...that's not your average crapperware.

Morgese is confusing AU with his off speed pitches.

I actually think he's got the ump a little confused as well...that curve ball on the arm side is off the plate as often as over.  He has been eager to call it a strike every time.

I feel good about the idea that this will not be a 1-0 shutout.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Auburn offense is far better facing 95 than they are against 85.  Vito is wearing out our hitters.

Tanner Burns looks like the second coming of Keegan Thompson

Auburn catching a couple of breaks in the bottom of the 7th.  Wright leads off the inning by lining a ball past a diving LF for a double (probably should have been an error) followed by a misplayed sac bunt by Holland, ball bunted right back to the pitcher and he promptly throws high to the 3B putting runners at first and third with nobody out.

AU ties the game 1-1....some loose play by Bryant ....missed double play, and catcher sails one into CF on stolen base by Jarvis who goes to 3rd.....but next batter is a K and we are at 1-1 so it's up to the relievers...

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Only able to get one run in a really bad defensive inning for Bryant.  1-1 after 7.

Anyone against letting Coker get a look at a weekend rotation spot?

(He says with the poster's jinx able to be in full effect)

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Coker on in relief.  Threw two really ugly breaking balls to the first batter, then comes back with a beautiful hook on a 3-2 count to start the inning.  He just throws strikes.

Not sure about that, I think he's a once through the rotation kind of guy.  Middle relief or set up.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

I'd like to see Brett Wright stay off his knees.  Coker needs to get the call at the bottom of the strike zone with all that sink.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

The "Cobra"(?) works around back to back singles with two outs in the seventh.  No damage, still 1-1. 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Venter with a no doubter down the line in left.  2-1 Tigers.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

HOME RUN!!!

Brendan Venter, baseball player

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

By the way, that Brendan Venters has a serious jaw line.  Looks like Jay Leno....

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

If @Tigerbelle is watching she's got to be smiling ear to ear...entire dugout dancing in unison during the pitching change.  Not something that would have happened under that previous HC.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Josh Anthony should get a chance to see a fastball with the bases loaded and two outs.

Wow, saw 7 straight.  Finally drew the walk.  3-1 Auburn.  Bases still juiced with two out in the bottom of the 8th.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Bryant finally out of pitchers...starting 1B now on in relief.  Burcham saying he's never pitched in a college game before.  Sheesh.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Coker shut 'em down in the bottom of the ninth in 1-2-3 fashion.  3-1 final for another sweep.

Tigers now 9-0.  

South Alabama up next on Tuesday.
