“We suck again.”

[Swamp]

Holy $(;:. That was unbelievable hard to get that!

[angeleast]

Phew!!! How we won that is beyond me.. I ll take it

[zeppelincajun]

Holzhammer Ball 4 call.

Awful call no doubt. Only thing I'll say is that Torres attempted a frame job for no reason instead of just sticking it where he caught. Similar to the HBP, sign of a bad umpire IMO: let things like that call it for you instead of being able to make the calls. Thankfully...a moot point.

Cardiac Cajuns. Not good for my heart.

Gut check to pull that one out giving up 6 in the 9th... then 2 out and 2 strikes Top 10. Higgs saved the day with that HR.

Yet another exhibit in favor of a system for challenging balls and strikes. I’ve yet to see a compelling argument against that system

[Cajunchuck]

Needed that as it allows us to keep a 2 game lead in conference instead of being tied.

Just started breathing again, man that was stressful.

Our boys responded when it mattered most. We have what it takes.

Thankfully Christie had enough left in the tank (after throwing 30 pitches Friday) to hold Troy off. It should be noted that Troy also came with their top middle reliever (Clete Hartzog) for the 10th inning. He threw 26 pitches Friday and 26 on Tuesday. He could not get it done either. Troy's top two relievers Manning and Hartzog got lit up today ... a combined 1.0 inning, 6 hits, 5 runs, 5 ER, 2 doubles, and 2 bombs.

Gutsy move to intentionally walk the winning run (Butcher) at the time with 2 outs. But with Brooks Bryan out of the game, I liked the move. Fortunately it paid off.

I pointed that out to my group. Guy who made the last out in the 9th should have been the national leader in RBIs at the plate.

I think both coaches thought the game was over at 11-5 in the 8th. Meade got his catcher off his feet. Cajuns staff took fluno out to get Etheridge some work.

Glad it bit them worse in the end.

Now I have to go get a new tube of Rolaids
