Now, we're no closer to figuring this team out. 4-0 and riding high, now 2-1-1 and still waiting for that run of wins.They're good, then they're not so good. Pitching is dominant and then pitchers can't close out games. We can't hit a beach ball, then we mash, then we struggle again.

That's baseball, I guess.

You could say the same thing about App St when they came to Lafayette.

Well, to end the series kissing your sister is better than losing it. Just the optimist in me.

Right. Now I feel worse. Haha.

Well we left the bases loaded in the 8th and couldn't get a hit. We loaded the bases with only one hit. They walked 1 of our runs in and threw a wild pitch on an intentional walk to get another run in. We didn't earn a whole lot. We had a two run lead with two outs to go. We were given a lot today and didn't make them pay.

Taking the positive from this, we went toe-to-toe with the defending national champion on the road when they are hitting their stride - although we all wanted a series win - got a tie.



I think we are also starting to hit our stride. Bats heating up! Adding Colton Schmidt to our arsenal will be huge!

While we were four outs from sweeping the series, we were also two swings of the bat away from getting swept or one swing from losing the series.

I'm guessing Marks will be OK... Anyone know?

Does Pinny have to miss any games for ejection?

We will feel a lot better after a 4-0 week this week.

Grind!

Thanks, I needed a laugh.

Pinero - must have missed it

We got hosed.... and the umpire changed his call from fair or out (can see him sticking his right arm into the field of play after Pinny makes the throw).... changed it to apparent foul ball after getting the runner at the plate.

First screenshot shows Pinny's body BARELY in foul territory... with glove/ball fair, IMHO. UMPS screwed the pooch on this one.

See umpire signal with arm pointing to field of play - far right side of 2nd screenshot.

Check these out...
