Can't waste an out here. Byrd has to be hitting away, but let's see if he can get his 4th free pass of the game.

Leon Byrd is an on-base machine.

Sac successful two in scoring position

Stringer sac bunt moves tying run to 2B. "Clutch" Perrott up.

Go Owls!!

Chop to 3b run scores Byrd to third two outa

Aquino up with 2 outs, Owls down by 1 at 6-7.

5-3 ground out scores one. Tying run to 3rd.

Aquino up, 2 outs.

****.

Aquino flies out.

Long fly to LC ends it 7-6 Tulane

Bummer, a little too late.

Good series win, though a sweep would have been big.

High fly to left ... caught.

Tulane wins, 7-6. Sigh.

Nice late rally Owls.

We gave this game away with two horrible innings. I just hope Big John is not hurt. Very unusual for him not be able to find the strikezone....at all.

And the offense had it's worst day in a week. We couldn't get a clutch hit with runners in scoring position. We scored 6 runs-- one scored on a double play with no outs, another scored on a balk (after a couple free passes), two scored on sac flies (both times with multiple runners in scoring position) and one scored on a ground out. In other words, only one run scored on a clutch HIT and that was a ground chop by Aquino with the bases loaded.

EDIT: Some discussion from JP about the relay throw from Cook being cut off from the new 3B (Taylor). JP says that Perrott didn't seem pleased at that cutoff. Can anybody watching the game comment on whether or not there would've been a play at the plate with that throw from Cook?

It seemed to me the throw was off line and would not get the runner at home. I thought it was a good cut.

spot on.

I think deep comebacks might be less common than in the past due to the bats. I recall us being down huge at home to USM a few years back and stormed back to win by many. hard to imagine that with the new bats.
