Baseball vs Lipscomb Series

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

Spoiler

 

Up 2-1 in B4 on a Ware HR. Irish did strike out earlier. 2nd time in 34 at bats.

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

2 run double Howell puts us up 3-1. Going to 5.

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

4-1 going to 6

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

Not sure I care for the “pitch clock”. Baseball always unique in being a sport with no clock involved.

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

BTW, 3 doubles for Howell tonight.

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

4-2 now with a Lipscomb solo. Armstrong on the mound. 

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

Gorgeous day anticipated in Auburn tomorrow for anyone thinking about going to the game. Thinking 4:00 

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

Thru 6 and up 5-2

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

Chase coming in. Obviously Butch trying some different stuff tonight. Calling it a night here due to a long day. Allsup coming in at 96 mph on a couple of pitches. Can not do a lot with that at the knees. WDE! Side struck out. Last pitch at 97.

Allsup gave up a leadoff HR in the top of the ninth, Lipscomb does the travel ball boom when the runner touches home.  Next pitch a nice and easy 95 mph in the middle of the batter's back.  I'm not saying it was intentional, but I would say it's stupid to put on like somebody hit a go ahead grand slam when it's just a decent solo shot down by five.  

Tigers win 7-3.

Howell also got his 200th career hit, not sure how many guys have had that productive of a career.

Chris Stanfield is going to be really fun to watch.  Wonder if he would have gotten three if he had come hard out of the box...went into a home run trot on a ball that only went 3/4 up the wall in left center.  Probably a good teachable moment for Gabe.

I guess Allsup threw the split last night for the first time?  I thought that's what it was on the first strikeout in the ninth...dropped about a foot right in front of the batter.  Pretty filthy.

[SaltyTiger 7,816]

And WDE!!! Win in B9 12-11. Crazy day at Plainsman Park and throughout the league from my understanding 

GAME 2

This Lipscomb bunch can flat out hit.  Got me curious, did some looking...they're not slouches.  Regular starters are transfers from Miss St., Louisville, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee.  They did take 2 of 3 from Notre Dame to start the season.  The kid that started on the mound signed with Vandy out of high school.  Makes me feel a little better about last night.

Come back time again

That Lipscomb starter has to be pissed!

Salty called it. 
Tigers scored 3 in the bottom of the eighth to win it 4-3.

Lipscomb gave us a hell of a series this weekend. Pleased with the sweep.

Lipscomb is not shabby at all. To date we took care of a Big Ten team, a USC team with 12 NC’s and a team in Lipscomb that is not afraid to play anyone. Having not heard of their football does not equate to weak Baseball. Real season starts soon and beginning to love this team.

I love this team, but still learning their names and positions.  Whenever Kirby, Irish, and Ware get up to the plate I expect big things to happen.

Don’t forget how Bobby and Cole turned it up to another level last season. Bobby will be back soon. Love this time of year!

4 hit night last evening vs JSU. 5 at bats so obviously room for improvement.
