Hell of an at bat by Rios.

The mighty Rios, after fouling balls hard all over the yard, walks to load the bases. No outs.

Good time for a DP, fielder to home to first.

Stephens receives a visitor on the mound.

Solecitto warming up.

1-0 FIU on 4-3 in the hole. Ford made nice stop and only had the play at 1st.

K for out 2, but seeing eye roller scores 2 more. 3-0 FIU.

Stephens struggling
Didn't have his stuff from the beginning.

Don't know whether it was the rain delay or what, but Jordan does not have his usual command tonight....and it's really effecting him. He's also not getting swings and misses; they're fouling a ton of ball against him.

3-0. We better get the offense going.

Wheels coming off

3 unearned runs already

Down 3-0 and the inning continues. Jordan just doesn't have it today. And after running and failing to execute our way out of two innings, I'm willing to bet Nunez suddenly settles down now that he has a comfortable lead. Really, really poor decision making by our offense those first two innings.

Time for a new pitcher before this goes too far.

The bunt was ruled a hit. I think all 3 runs are earned since the error was on the errant throw to allow the baserunner to move to 3B. He would have scored regardless after the walk, followed by force out and back to back singles.

my bad for relying on GT...

I agree. Game tracker shows them as unearned, but the runner beat the throw. The errr allowed the lead runner to get to 3B. He would have scored anyway.

And that bet would have paid off in this inning. We go down 1-2-3.

Rice goes down 1-2-3 and very quietly as predicted. Time for the team (including coaches) to collectively wake up.

At least USM is beating MTSU 9-4 in the ninth.

Stephens struggling. Walks another lead off batter.
