But Dane, who is hitting 3rd for the Owls (you'd never know from the ODU Live Stats box score), did work a walk.

B1: Myers gets two outs, then allows a single and Myers's throwing errors allows batter to take second. Next batter walks. Third out eliminates the threat.

After 1: Rice 0 0 1, ODU 0 1 0

T2: Wunderlich walks, but otherwise, 3 outs

Dane works around 2 out walk. Scoreless going to T3.

Kendall singles, Ford doubles to start 3rd. 2 on, no outs.

Charlie pops to SS. 1 out.

Dane walks to load the bases.

Dom lines out to 3B. No luck!

Darren Ks to end the threat. Grrrrr!

Through 5, 1-0 ODU. Myers with 83 pitches.

2 out double by Ryan in T7 leads to pitching change. Only the Owls 3rd hit.

We've pitched fairly well this weekend but no production from the bats.

Rice strands two in top of 7th after 2-out Myers infield single and Dicaorio HBP.

ODU starter pulled after 6-2/3

Still 1-0 bad guys

Rice falls in Game 3 to ODU, 2-0.

Pathetic!

This is going to be a sad way to end an era of excellence.

This is so sad.

Remember, this is the best offensive owls team since the mid 00's.

Anyone know what van Hook does to earn his paycheck?

In this pre-season, several folks have expressed similar-sounding optimistic sentiments regarding the 2017 Owls' offensive potential. For example:

Quote:If (Sheppard) works out and we can find an every-day slot for this player, we could have one of our best offensive teams in years.

Walt said this in his Feb. 13 UT preview:
