Baseball vs UCF Game 2

I could watch Jack Owen pitch all day.  He makes it look effortless.

10 pitches= 3 Outs

Quick top of the 2nd for Jack.

No score going B2.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Time for the AU bats to awaken. Haven’t seen em since Tuesday. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Lovin' Bliss!!!! So close to getting a homer but ends up with an RBI Triple! 1-0 AU

Davis has a huge problem with swinging at terrible pitches

We're all waiting for him to live up to the potential.  Pulling hard....

This pitcher is making a lot of our batters look silly.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Good grief. Owen gets first two out, then walks a batter and gives up a home run.

2-1 UCF just like that. Frustrating last 12 innings or so.

2nd time through the order.  UCF is playing smart.

Auburn needs to do the same thing.

He is much better as a DH when he can just concentrate on hitting.  He's doing a good job at first and will occasionally hit a bomb, so I'll take that trade-off.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Wow.....really close play at 2nd with a review. Bliss does not get that call and a scoring opportunity is lost for AU.

 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

T-6 

2-1 UCF

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

The day is done for Jack Owen. Richard Fitts headed to the mound.

[TigerCatcher 182]

Gonna' need a comeback like the basketball Tigers had this morning.  Fitts getting absolutely destroyed.

Hudson said something that was effective, got him to absolutely air it out.  Blowing 95 now.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Auburn needs to get their act together at the plate now. Start chipping away at that 5 run lead. Somebody needs to step up.

 

 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

That was not it......a pop up. UGH!

[SCTiger2011 1,298]

Got four/five new bats in the lineup and Williams out.  Got some newbies facing 93-95 consistently for the first time in awhile.  

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

Auburn strands 2 runners.......

Well.....Woley was the pop-up. He has not had his best game today but that happens. This is a great experience for the young ones because UCF pitchers are just the same as SEC talent. The shock value will go down from here on out. 

UCF is a hitting machine. 

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

That was a great strike-out. Pena has hurt the Tigers all weekend. But the next guy hits a double.....and another run scores. Not feeling this one.

I thought we'd be able to win a tough series against UCF but Auburn bats have not adjusted. They are maybe too good to stage a comeback win this late in the game. Very impressive team. 

Hoping now they don't get the sweep. Yikes!

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Might be good for this team to get beat in this series. Make the newbies see it ain’t so easy after all. Much rather get beat early in the season than in SEC

Man the “AU can’t live up to preseason hype” strikes again.

7 games is probably too early to make this statement.  Nevertheless, I'm happy the "preseason hype" stems from actually performing well the year before and is actually deserved.

Early injuries bug strike again is more like it.....2nd year in a row.

It's definitely a learning experience.
