Tolley and Lyon had words for the second time, this time after Lyon brushed him inside above the belt with a first pitch fastball. And as with the last Tolley free pass with two outs, Boyd followed with his second two-run bomb of the game.
That is what you call protection.
4-0 App State T3rd.

It could be a number of things. It could be that they want what they feel is their best arm (Morgan) going today and Herrmann is slotted for another day (matchup) and/or another role. It could be that they would like to get Herrmann some more rest for the real prize (NCAA Tournament).
I like leading with Morgan and Langevin for multiple reasons. The most important game is the next one.

I'm mind boggled how much Troy and Coastal have nose-dived after taking 2/3 from the Cajuns.
Brooks Bryan breaks up the perfect game with a solo shot. 4-1 App State B5th.

App is imploding
App St makes it a 1 run ballgame in the 8th. Still two on with one out
Troy’s outfielders collide on a routine fly ball. App has bases loaded with one out down by 1 in the 8th
And Troy gets out of the inning with a 6-5 lead
Base-running mistake by App may have cost them. Runner at third should have been on the bag for a tag on the shallow fly ball out to CF (second out). But he was down the line, for some inexplicable reason. My 12U teams know this.
Even if he did not come all the way home on a tag, make the center fielder make the throw and you gauge it. That was the tying run.

I am hearing that Paetow is a scratch for Southern Miss due to a sprained wrist.
