And *another* sac bunt AND *another* walk. Way to go, Owls. Patience, patience.

Good call, by the way. :)

Stringer with long fly out at the right field wall. Ewing doubled off because looked like extra bases.

Boudreaux opens the Tulane 8th with a single to center.

Tough luck for the Owls B7. Onto the 8th, 6 outs from a big conference W. Fox back on the bump.

Let's have another DP.

Bad time to give up yet another walk. Could really use that DP now.

Middleton ahead in count 3-0. Walks on 4 pitches.

Lemond coming in with 2 on and no one out.

EDIT: There he is! Hey, Walt. Welcome to the thread. So far, so good. Bunting, stealing, taking pitches and walking. :)

Only dropping in periodically, as I'm preparing my words to say at my Grandma's funeral tomorrow in NY. Celebration of nearly 105 years of a very full and vibrant life (her birthday is in May). Fortunately, I saw her last just two weeks again when last in NY, and she was in both good health and spirits-- the perfect way to remember her by.

Condolences, Walt. Sounds like a darn good life.

Likewise, Walt.

Tying run at the plate for the Green Wave. Time for a little Lemond-Aid.

Maybe a good move. We need this game - cannot afford to lose a game at home against a mediocre team, especially when we have a decent lead.

Crohan up. He is 2 for 3, with a double.

Weak pop to Stringer. He dropped it trying to avoid infield fly rule. One out.

Boudreaux. Crohan. Tulane has a lot of almost-Adam-Sandler characters. Looking for a Happy Matheson on the roster...

Walt, it's never easy. Wish you and your family the best.

Cannizaro with 3-2 count. Lemond looked as if he had pickoff at 2nd. But gets K.

Zech gives up a 2-out single for 1 run. 4-2 Rice. Tying run now at 1B for Tulane.

Potkay with sharp single to left. 4-2 Rice. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Lemond with K to end the threat.

Some insurance runs would be welcome. We do not need this excitement.
