I think they're pretty evenly matched with regard to talent. Arky is just playing a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB would agree with you.....some top draftees this year... and then Heimlich and that catcher who is quite good and was not draft eligible.....

AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That catcher is a player......don't know how to avoid him but he just about always get some solid wood/aluminum/or whatever those bats are made of these days... And another sac bunt by OSU advances the runner to second with one out.... …...and another pitcher for the hawgs…….Loeske has had a great series.

around4ever 4,139 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Huge strike out by Cronin there. 2 outs tying run on 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That OSU closer has a mean breaking ball....froze those piggie batters...….they looked helpless when that thing came drifting across the middle of the plate. SO......this is probably it....one way or the other..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. OSU knows what to do with it however.....sounds like that's a big part of their offense....mostly to get their big hitters to the plate with a runner in scoring position....and did it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well that pop fly into foul territory was really a costly mistake......playable by two or three different guys and apparently the only guy who could not make the play had called off the other two.... So we have a tie game at 3 with two outs in the top of the ninth...and the meat of the OSU lineup coming to the plate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Unbelievable …...HR just clears the fence....and now it's 5-3. Arky pitcher was left in too long..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Oh my! Arky down to their last strike and OSU ties it up then get a homerun to take. 5-3 lead. They are very scary and never give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That is the kind of thing that could propel OSU to the Championship. It has to deflate Arky and give the Beavers life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The OSU closer makes a "look what I found" play to get the DP. On to tomorrow. It may be hard for the Hogs to overcome being that close to winning it all and letting it slip away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we will see how good VanHorn is if he can get them to shake off this disaster.....blew a relatively routine play...and giving a team like OSU a second chance was too much......

AUBwins 10,064 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That second baseman went all rogue and I think he is the only one that wouldn't have made the catch. When it dropped, I called the homer but missed it by a batter. It was just scripted to happen as it usually does when you make that type of mistake to give a guy a chance.

Mikey 16,546 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Beavers chomped 'em! Win one more tomorrow and send the squealers back to the Ozarks. By the way, tonight's home plate ump was the worst I've seen since back before this tournament started. I'll give him that he was impartially horrible but that's as kind as I can be.

There must have been close to 30 K's tonight.....batters not knowing what the strike zone was.... Ump sure did not know....so batters were forced to swing at about everything Sorry...only about 20 strikeouts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Be advised...if you care For reasons probably known only to ESPN, the game tonight will start at 5:30 CT.....earlier than the previous two games. Will be interesting to see how the piggies react to letting that game (and the CWS) get away last night..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Game underway and Campbell on the mound for Arky..... The question of the day....( what will the strike zone look like tonight ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 And a quick answer....yesterday's outside strike is a ball tonight.....at least at the moment. Meanwhile, Campbell hits a batter with 2 strikes and the hot OSU hitters are headed toward the plate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 And OSU has the pressure on already....one out...runners on 1st and 3rd......OSU two top hitters both have 14 hits in the CWS.....what's that at least 2 per game at this point....including several HRs.….tough to make it past these two guys without giving up something... And another hit past 3rd brings in a run.....possible play for 3B but did not get his glove on it.. Looks like the arky starter might not get out of the first inning....

AU64 10,122 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Arky has some tough defensive plays....makes a couple and missed a couple and OSU ends up with a 2-0 lead and the piggies are fortunate it is no worse than that.... Arky hitters need to shake off the dust....they have been clearly outhit by OSU in the first two games....especially last night.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
