South Alabama

[GoneGolfin]

Michael Sandle just hit his second HR of the game, a solo shot to the LF power alley again ... off of their closer (Palmquist ... 14 saves, 43.1 IP, 1.66 ERA). Deep shot. 5-2 Jags.

... and Kaleb DeLaTorre just went deep to RF with Stokes on first (after drawing a walk). South Alabama leads Miami 7-2 in the B8th with 2 outs. Two longs balls and three ER off of closer Palmquist in the 8th. Palmquist exiting the game.

Listening in the truck.

I just can’t believe that the same offense we saw in Mobile is stepping on the neck of one of the best closers in the country. Unreal.

The chatter between the dugouts and players has been entertaining. I have never had any love for Miami. Nice to see the chatter they started earlier in the game turned back on them.

These are some very hard hit balls. All of them no doubters.

After eliminating national seed Florida yesterday, 19-1, The Jags eliminate #2 seed Miami 7-2 and advance to the regional finals. South Alabama will need to win tonight against #4 seed South Florida ... and then again on Monday ... to advance to the super regionals where they would likely face Texas in Austin.

I was impressed with reliever Tyler Samaniego (2 innings, 29 pitches). He could probably come back tomorrow for an inning.

Great to see the punks from Miami go down. They yelled a lot at the South AL bench while the Jags cheered on their team. Puck Miami and eat ____.

Looks like South Al is catching fire.

Calvi is leaning Boswell as the starter tonight vs. South Florida, though he mentioned a second player he was considering (and would talk with his coaches). Boswell needs to shake off his last two starts and just go out and pitch.

The Jags still have some bullpen left ... but they actually look a bit better staffed for Monday. If the Jags can win tonight and get to a seventh game, they could potentially bring back ...

- Tyler Lehman (60.1 IP, 4.48) - 4.0 innings and 73 pitches Friday vs. Miami (1R 1 ER)
- Jackson Boyd (35.2 IP, 3.03) - 4.0 innings and 55 pitches Friday vs. Miami (0 H, 0 R)
- Miles Smith (82.2 IP, 2.18) - 6.0 innings and 82 pitches Saturday vs. Florida (5 H, 1R, 1 ER)
