Bullpen here for the Aggies in the 7th.

13.2 IP for the year, 0 ER for the reliever.

Top of the order for AU

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Leadoff walk for Grier.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Haecker flies out to right. 1 down.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Ebert grounds into a 5-3. Grier at 2nd, 2 outs.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Nulph up with 2 outs and 2 on base following a BB to Robert.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Groundout. Stretch time. 4-2 TAMU

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Since the 1st, AU has been able to get nothing going with the bats and has been unable to drive in RISP who reached by walks/errors.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Should be mentioned that this is TAMU's #2 guy. Unfortunately, their ace was lost last week after finding out he'll need surgery.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Leadoff BB to the 9-hole guy. Keegan still out there at 110 pitches. Little surprising.

Sac bunt. Runner to 2nd

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

KT's 115th pitch is another walk. 1st and 2nd, 1 out

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

4-6-3 DP ends the 7th. 4-2 TAMU

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Logan down 0-2 in the count

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Breaking ball gets Logan. AU down to last 5 outs.

Gillikin pinch-hitting

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

4 pitch walk to Sam. Runner on first.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Groundout to 2nd base. 2 down, runner on 2nd.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

6-3. Inning over. B8, 4-2 TAMU

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Wow. Thompson back out for B8

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Leadoff single. Keegan laboring. Not sure why no pitching change yet. 125 pitches in a game AU is losing 4-2 is stretching it.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Another single. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 out

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Bunt to 3rd. Polston comes in and fields it, throw is low to first. Safe. Bases loaded, 0 outs.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

6-2 after another single. Will never understand why KT started this inning.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Now the switch is made. KT with 130 pitches. 0 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd..

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Dalton Rentz on in relief.

[SCTiger2011 1,277]

Rentz with a groundout and K. 2 down, runners on 2nd and 3rd

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Man I hope this is not going to be the way this year goes. Great starting pitching, terrified to go to the pen for middle relief.

If I was Thompson's dad I would have a serious talk with this coaching staff. There is too much promise there to ride him like a rented mule.
