OSU pitcher starts with another walk to lead-off batter and he is gone.  Casey gave him a chance to get it together between innings after all the walks in the previous inning but enough is enough.....    

SO piggies have a runner on first, no outs and a new pitcher for OSU.....

Arky has dug themselves into a deep hole.....two on, one out  and the relief pitcher walks the bases full....

SO ….OSU is up 2-1, bases still loaded, only one out.....a real mess for the next piggie pitcher.....

It looks like OSU is a little more focused tonight.  Van Horn is having no patience with his pitchers tonight.  

Can't afford to get into a big hole....not scoring may runs lately and not even getting many hits.....gotta stop this OSU rally NOW...

Two back to back lob wedge shots into the Bermuda triangle of left field and piggies have two hits, a run and a couple guys still on base.....aggressive base running got that run in.

Nice response by the piggies......nothing to strike fear in the hearts of pitchers....bleeders and flares for the most part but good enough

 

And right away Arky gives up a base runner with an E5 and next batter shoots one though the infield and OSU is looking to get back into the game...

ZING…….that noise you just heard was arky dodging a fast moving bullet......DP and then a ground out to 3B ..again .....and this time he makes a good throw and the inning is over pretty quickly despite the brief moments of excitement.

Fundamental bunting is pretty much a lost art in college baseball.  The bunt last inning was excellent. The technique was very good.  That pop up was not. The batter had too much arm movement instead of bending husband knees to move the bat.

That was a very good effort by the pitcher to pick that bunt off the grass and make a good throw to 3rd for the double play. The Freshman is definitely holding his own.

Plate umpire has been a challenge for hitters and coaches alike......most of the time giving the outside corner (and beyond) to the pitcher which has caused a number of batters to swing at balls just in self defense....t

If I'm Van Horn, I don't think I take Ramage out yet but he goes with Loseke. 

This guy is their ace closer....but like you, I might try to see what the other kid had but then again they were lucky to get out of that last inning and a couple hard hit balls…...so maybe that was the time....

Boy....there is almost never an easy up and down by the OSU batters...….a scary bunch at the plate....

OSU may or may not win this game but IMO, they are the better team overall....but lots of stuff (and calls) have not gone their way and have to give the piggies credit for making the most out of their opportunities.....

I've thought since the regionals that they were the most talented team top to bottom, offense, defense and pitching in the tournament.
