Out. Fly to center. Bottom 8 coming up. 4-5-6 batters due up. We have 6 outs left to score 10 runs. Let’s go Auburn!

Vandy goes down 1-2-…double. Runner on second 2 out. That’s 10 doubles folks.

Top three guys go down in order. Now to the top of the 8th.

Sheehan in for the intentional walk. Why not give that to the guy you just took out. Then Sheehan gets the SO to end the inning. 1-2-3 due up down 13-3.

Another double, third for that guy Keegan. Nine total doubles on the day Two and a half hours in and we are not to the stretch yet. Hudson to the mound for a visit.

Ground ball to first and Sonny throws home for the tag out. Clearly out but they will review for the 5th time today. Still out but is was close. Nice quick tag by Dyal.

Another double. That’s 8 or 9 maybe.

3 up 3 down for Auburn.

Sorry, down 12-3.

I may slow down a bit if someone else wants to pick up. Granzow in top 6, no outs. Gets a ground out to start, runners still on second and third. Deep sac fly to LF scores a runner, other guy stays at second. Free bag to the 8-hole guy, 9-hole grounds out to short to end the inning Stat just put up. Vandy was 0-3 with RISP yesterday; and 8-14 today. HOLY CRAP!!! 13 chances is bad. going to the bottom of 6, down 11-3, 7-8-9 up for Auburn. Imma skip an inning and see if it changes our Mojo. Also chug a couple beers.

So now I am dragging. A few beers in. Single (left side), single (right side) and then ANOTHER double scores a run. 11-3 Vandy brings out Tim Hudson for a pitching change. I actually thought Isbell’s stuff looked good, he would just leave one pitch out across the middle to each batter. Needs to work on those pitches where he needs a strike but has to locate it better.

And Vandy runs in another stud pitcher who immediately gets a weak pop out to shallow center. And Foster grounds out 6-3 to end the inning. Two left stranded. Top of 6th coming up, Tigers down 10-3.

Kason strikes out swinging. And Sonny battles to get a walk with no help from the umpire (one questionable strike call). And Nrooks Carlson singles to RF and runners on first and second with one out. Now Vandy going to the bullpen with 2 on up 10-3.

Nice 3 pitch SO on a nasty slider to get the first out. Weak ground out to Foster at second to get out number 2. Now the 9 hole gets his first hit of the series with a another double to right center. That’s the fifth double of the game. Dang, another double off the wall to score the runner from second. SIX doubles in the last two innings. And a fly out to Center to end the half. A lot of breaking ball strikes by Isbell, but those two doubles hurt. 10-3 Vandy with Kason, Sonny, and Brooks due up.

Brody singles up the middle. Lead off is on, let’s see what we got boys! Then fly out to RF, pop out to SS, AND LaRue HOMERS to left center off the score board. 2 run homer makes it 9-3 Vandy. Now Farquhar singles to RF on a 1-1 pitch. Let’s see what Rambusch can do. Gets it to a full count and grounds out on pitch 9 I think, to end the inning. Vandy guy with almost 80 pitches on his left arm. Going to the top of the 5th down 9-3. Tigers putting Chase Isbell on the bump.

Swilling now on the bump down 4-1, runners on first and second. Gets a 6-4-3 DP but called Safe at first. Another review. Tie does go to the runner, so Safe at first. 2 outs runners on first and third. Swilling a next pitch is a nice HBP to keep the lead off guy from getting a stolen base (he was running and is really fast). Batting around and the innings first batter is up, weak liner to LF corner to score 2, double. 6-1 Vandy. Dang, that guy is 6 foot 7 inches. Need an out, and frikin’ Keegan doubles again this inning, about a 1 short of being a HR. Clears the other two runners, Keegan on Second. 8-1 Vandy. Now another double to LF for Vandy to score the 6’7” dude. And thank goodness a pop out to shallow RF to end this mess of an inning Horrible Inning for the pitching staff. 9-1. Vandy. 9 runs in one half of an inning.

Dang, first pitch HR to Center. Now another review on a potential HBP. He offers and back forearm was moving forward and maybe gets a nick (no overturn) 2-2 count to Keegan. And then he doubles to LF off the wall, dang it! Single to the left side now 2 on no outs. And then another frickin’ HR deep to RF. 4-1 Vandy. Brite losing accuracy a bit, not getting up like earlier, or they are swinging). Another single, to RF this time. 5-4-almost 3 for the first out. Brute at 60+ pitches now. And now a walk to the 9 hole (cannot do that in games like these!!!). Now a pitching change to Carson Swilling in the 4th, down 4-1

Blake starts us off with a deep grounder to third and beats it out, and now they review it to call him Safe (close but tie goes to the runner). Now a 4-6 ground out on a close play and under review again (still out on something I guess they felt like they couldn’t overrule). Sonny up and fly out to RF, then a deep fly out to LF with a nice climbing the wall catch by that Vandy kid. 1-0 Auburn after 3.

Bright on the mound to start the third. Five pitch walk to kid who never moved the bat, Fly out to LF, line out to Third, and LaRue with the caught steeling at 2B by the SS. Nice inning by the team. Too if the order due up. Still 1-0 AU.

Moore grounds out to the pitcher, Foster nice hitters hit to LF, BB for Pierce, fly out by LaRue, good at bat by Farquhar but grounds out 4-3. 1-0 Tigers after 2. Holten with 42 pitches already.

Lead off single for Vandy through the 5-6 hole, swinging bunt to pitcher out at first but moves the runner over, then another backwards K for the second out (that’s 3 so far), then last out 3-1. Trace Bright working ahead to most batters. End of his second inning with 35 pitches or so on the arm. Moore, Foster, Pierce due up. 1-0 good guys.

Freshman Carter Holten from Guyton GA (Benedictine i believe) on the mound for Vandy. Fly out to RF out of bounds for Rambusch (about where that stupid bench is at TAM), Kason SO on a nasty curve, THEN Sonny with a deep HR to deep center field. Brooks Carlson grounds out to 2b to end the inning. 1-0 Auburn after 1 inning of baseball on a beautiful sunny day in Auburn.

Trace Bright on the bump for Auburn. Fly out, backwards K, walk (after up 1-2), then their stud Keegan batting cleanup out looking at strike three (outside fastball). Blake, Kason, and Sonny due up to start it for the Tigers.

Do you copy and paste from D1 or some other website, or do you summarize after watching? I may try… don’t hold your breath though.
