Baseball vs Louisville CWS

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

WHOA!! What a catch by Rankin Woley! Looks like he may have slammed his knee into the concrete on the play, but he hauls in a great over the shoulder, sliding catch for out number 1, and will stay in the game.

Fly out to center ends the cardinal threat. Excited to see Bailey Horn’s off-season progress. He’s been a nice surprise in postseason play. 

1-1 game to B3

what a GAMER!!!

Horn works past a leadoff walk, and we'll go to B3 tied at 1.

Catches by Scheffler and Woley, as well as Julien's 10 pitch single may have woken this team back up from Sunday night's downer...

Let's get a few crooked numbers.

He and Fitts. Those two could be invaluable pieces next season. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Hey! Holland with a base hit to right! Good to see

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

two out single for Holland

[mcgufcm 4,096]

Totally agree. In some ways, Fitts and Horn have been the key to our run. For a team with so many pitchers missing time, those guys gave us legit options. Could be huge for next year's team.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

He's safe. Can't overturn that. 

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Steven with a single to shallow right. Holland thrown out at home. Inning over. 1-1 to the fourth

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Wow what a throw. Single to right by Williams but Holland is thrown out at home on a fantastic throw by the RF. 

1-1 T4

I’m not gonna second guess Gabe for the work at the plate but .... his decision making sending/holding runners at third hasn’t seemed confident 

and im talking season long

[WeaglWeaglWDE 599]

What's protocall if this gets rained out?

[mcgufcm 4,096]

Gabe has shown consistently bad instincts as a third base coach in the CWS. Just horrible. Holding Holland against MSU. He got bailed out by an error. Then sending him on a shallow one-hopper to the RF. That was a great throw and a horrible send. An average throw would've beaten Holland home there.

Trying to see if the Louisville defense can live up to the pressure of the moment. That time it did. Thought it was pretty shallow myself but don’t mind the gamble in a win 4 straight or go home with one loss scenario 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

We're hitting this pitcher. Gotta keep putting together good at bats in a row, and we'll break open here soon. Hang in there fellas!!

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Lead off single for Louisville

[mcgufcm 4,096]

I hate that send because we're hitting this pitcher. Make the guy earn outs. Don't give him outs on the basepath.

You are absolutely correct. Putting pressure on their defense will pay off. Baseball is a game of strategy....

Makes sense. We've also got one of our hotter hitters up after that in Julien. Oh well, just keep playing

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Bailey struggling a bit to start the fourth. Walk puts them on first and second with nobody out. Need a double play. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Horn having issues in the fourth. Single and a walk and its 1 & 2 with no outs. Can't give them free bases

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Gotta settle down and get an out here

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Rain is coming down probably not helping pitchers control
