Baseball vs Missouri Game 1

[eulessau 115]

Can’t find the game on Watch ESPN.  Is it being played?

[augolf1716 21,096]

Best I can tell you is it was 1-1 bottom of 1st gametracker

[augolf1716 21,096]

2-1 AU bottom of 1st

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Yep it’s being played. 2-1 AU, T2

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

It looks to me from where I am like Rod and Paul have it on SEC Network in the booth- by the way, Jay Estes continues to be great in CF, another leather flashing play to end the T2. Good tigers coming to the plate

Tigers back at Plainsman Park this weekend, Mize on the hill tonight. First pitch of the game went over the centerfield wall for Missouri, but AU counters with two of their own in B1. Jay Estes continues to be a hit stealer in center field, another leather flashing play to end the T2. Good tigers batting in B2 up 2-1.

Yo Brotha!

What's going on?

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

2-1 AU still, B4- Mize has been good since the HR in the first. Missouri threatened in 3rd but Mize worked out of it. Tigers with no hits since the first inning, however.

It is there. Take another look. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Going to T5- 2-1 Good guys 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Easy work for Mize in T5:

2-1 AU going to B5 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

B6 here at Plainsman- 2-1 AU: no hits in this game since the top of of the third inning. 

Holland with a lead off walk for AU 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Venter with a HUGE single on a hit and run to score Holland! Runners on the corner now with nobody out! 3-1 AU

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Wright follows up Venter with a SAC FLY to center; 

Heroes: 4

Villains: 1

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Davis with a Texas leaguer over short but Venter hesitated as the ball hung up and was thrown out by a mile at home plate. Estes then strikes out to end the inning. AU probably should’ve held Venter at third there. Don’t really know what Gross was thinking sending Venter there, but nevertheless, AU with a 4-1 lead heading to the 7th

[mustache eagle 2,389]

He was out by a mile at home.  Mistake by gross there.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Just got home and tuned in during the 5th. Looks like this has been a really good game.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

We've got the best two freshman hitting combo in all of college baseball.  I expected it from Williams, I DID NOT expect to Julien to do what he's doing...he can rake, eh?

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Big Canada led off the bottom of the seventh with a towering home run to right center.  5-2 Tigers.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

B7 and Edouard Julien gets ahold of a pitch down and in and sends it over the right field wall! 5-2 AU

 

Will Holland, two batters later, hits a deep fly ball off the monster that he THOUGHT was a HR off the bat. Holland started the HR trot, then saw the ball hit off the wall. Knowing he’d be chewed out if someone with his speed hit a deep hanging fly ball off the wall and didn’t make it to second, Holland turns on the jets and just gets under the tag to avoid getting a talkin- to. 

AU, however, can’t get him home. 

Going to the 8th, 5-2 AU 

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Holland with a line drive off the top of the wall.  He obviously thought it was gone, had to come out of his trot and bust it to barely avoid getting thrown out at second.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Mize up to 99 pitches and trots back out for the 8th...

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

I'm betting they're hoping he can finish this himself.  Needs to be efficient.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Oh, wow.  One pitch, one out. 100 pitches and he's done.  My respect for Butch Thompson is close to immeasurable.  Really tempting to let it ride with Mize, but he is doing what's best for Casey.  Just wow.

[PowerOfDixieland 3,225]

Oh, Coker!
