Good golly this has gotten ugly.  We can't get out of our own way today.

Yep.  The Tigers have a case of the opening-weekend jitters or something.

Julien tries to end the game a few times and swings through strike 3. 1 out. Conor Davis up- pitching change for GSU

Amazing how many pitchers GSU has that have completely owned AU batters this weekend.

Georgia Southern has proved to be a pretty sound team fundamentally too. Also doesn’t help when two of our 3 best returning hitters start out the season in slumps

Thanks to everyone for the updates. Hoping that the bats wake up and we can end this game now.

Yep...by now you would think they are so deep into their bullpen that we should be hitting them much better...

Davis grounds out

 

Bliss with a 2 out single. Kason Howell up. A double into the canyon would be fantastic right about now.

I'd love to see Bliss get to top gear....

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Bliss swipes second. Winning run in scoring position. Need a clutch hit. 

They’ll walk Howell who has the game tying hit yesterday in the ninth. 

Matt Scheffler to bat.

Come on Tigers.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

 Scheffler grounds out. 

Not. Clutch.

This lineup is built to hit mid-90's pitching in the SEC.  Georgia Southern staff is acutely aware of that.

So they throw slower?

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Ward is doing a nice job in the outfield. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

GSU leadoff single.

Then a fly out to left 

 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

I’d really like to win this game. Feels like a good are in a hole but all it takes is one inning now. 

Not going to be the end of the world to lose two on opening weekend, but of course you’d like to win it.

 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Owen fields a bunt for a hit and throws the runner out. 2 outs, runner on second 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

A DIVING PLAY BY WILLIAMS SAVES THE RUN AND POSSIBLY THE GAME!!! 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Have to focus on getting guys on base. Would love to end it up with a swing but these guys don’t throw hard enough to do that unless you get all of it.

Yes....they throw slower.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Ward to start it off. Need ya on.

Leadoff single! Winning run aboard in Ward. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Holland next..... 

Ward tries steal. Out. Killer.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Holland and Williams need to step up 

[jared52 4,354]

Terrible decision on the steal attempt. Can’t hit and getting outs on the basepaths is killer. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Holland with a single back up the middle. Runner on first and 1 out for Steven Williams. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

This has to be the 283927193th pitcher GSU has used this series.
