Geez, Ford has got to change his approach up there. He's not taking pitches, and making very quick, easy outs.

No one is working the pitcher. We go up swinging with zero plan. Most ABs weare working behind in the count.

Thank heaven for our pitching staff. Once again, the heart of the lineup due up with a chance to win this thing. Have mercy, guys!

The new ODU pitcher is the worst on their staff so far this season-- 12.91 ERA, .382 BAA, 13 hits, 5 BBs, 2 WPs in 7.2 IP.

ODU T13: BB, SAC, K, 5-3

Rice B13 - pitching change for ODU - Diaz, right-hander

Ewing BB,
Aquino SAC, Ewing to 2nd!

Force this guy to throw strikes.

Reeves F7

Did Reeves swing at the first pitch?

But selling even more hotdogs and beverages = more revenue from extra inning, I guess.

No and to his credit he hit a rope that the LF'er ran and got. Connor K'ed at a letter high soft breaking ball.

It was a good play by LF. Well-hit ball.

ODU T14: K, 6-3, 1B, F4. McCarthy's ERA is plummeting -- down to 6.00

Rice B14:
Williamson F8
Warren single!
Byrd

Great pitching by Ryan. 90+ FB and a filthy CB. Mixing his pitches well keeping them off balance.

Reeves has been the only guy in our lineup oday to hit the ball solidly multiple times. 2 hits..a sac fly...and a line drive that could have been the game-winner.

Is it the curveball or the changeup? I thought the change was his best pitch.

Byrd up with winning run on 1st & 1 out... hits into a FC and almost a DP.

Stainback up.. but Byrd caught stealing.

This is embarrassing-- our inability to do anything against the bottom of ODU's bullpen.

Good to hear, thanks.

Terrible jump by Byrd.

Really hope Rice can pull this out, but I need to relieve my wife from dealing with our boys for a bit. See y'all on the other side.
