NCAA Regional - Game 1 vs Coastal Carolina

[AU64 10,122]

Really needed that K after getting behind on the count....two outs and a bit less tense now.

and a soft fly to RF ends the inning.

AU up 9-5 bottom of 7th.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Big last two outs by Watson to curb the momentum as much as possible. Still a 4 run lead, but need to keep scoring to feel certain. Watson almost lost a guy he had 0-2 after throwing three balls that weren’t close but got a big swing and a miss. Tigers have to throw strikes. You CANNOT give teams free bases. Walks are just absolutely killer.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Steven Williams is feeling it today. He’s now 3-4 with a HR and two singles. 

Runner at first, one out.

9-5 AU B7

Let’s get a couple back here.

That's a weeks worth or more for him lately.....nice to see him take something off his swing and be a bit more under control at the plate. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Tigers have loaded them up with one out. Bliss coming up to the plate after a pitching change by Coastal. 

Big moment here as Auburn could really put the hammer down with a crooked number this inning. 

[AubWes33 471]

Boom 

[AU64 10,122]

and Bliss quickly brings in 2 runs...

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Big answer. Ryan Bliss is no freshman

11-5 AU B7

I've been saying that he's a natural player. No one can teach his kind of talent and baseball instinct.  He's already a great player at 18-19 years old.

[mustache eagle 2,397]

Nice to get a couple runs but hate to leave bases loaded.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Hate you're missing this offensive explosion, RB. Hate we're missing you call it too, because the ESPNU guys are TERRIBLE

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

What inning now?

 

[autigeremt 6,598]

Bliss with a wonderful play to end the top half of the 8th. 

[AU64 10,122]

Bottom of 8, Tigers coming up. 

[AU64 10,122]

AU up in the bottom of 8th.....CCU has one more turn at the plate....

[mustache eagle 2,397]

Watson walks first batter on 4 pitches ... then becomes a completely different guy on the next 3 outs?!  College athletes are still kids in so many ways.

Yes they are.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Tigers in business again with runners on the corners and no outs. 

Steven Williams, mr. hit machine today, at the plate. 

[autigeremt 6,598]

Williams with his 4th hit of the day and a run scores. 12-5 AU.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Williams, Julien and Holland, I believe, have reached base 11 times today in total. Wonderful news.

Steven Williams with yet another RBI single and is 4-5 on the day. What a great time for him to get hot

12-5 AU B8

WOW.....he is on fire today!

[AU64 10,122]

AU hitters look like a different team than a week ago....batters going where the ball is pitched.....not trying to pull everything......getting some nice opposite field hits and keeping the rally going....
