Canterino gives it right back with a Solo shot.

Not his finest work.

Cruz singles, Comeaux doubles. Signs of life.

1B by Trei, RBI 2B by Braden gets run back and chases Zags pitcher. 5-2.

Lefty coming in...of course.

Ford Ks looking, but Chase picks him up with an RBI 2B.

Brad hits it on the screws but right at the third baseman. Someone get the Owls a live chicken to sacrifice.

Runner on 2nd with no outs... not stranded. That's better!

Leadoff single in T6 and then a lazy flyball that Brad gets a horrible read on and it drops for a hit. 2 on, no outs. I smell a bunt coming.

Matt gets K for 1st out.

Looks like Jackson warmed up and ready? Mound visit, no change. Jackson back up throwing.

Sharp single to RF on 3-2 count. Runners at the corners.

Sac fly makes it 6-3. Pitching change. Jackson in. Runner at 3rd & 1st 2 outs.

Appeal at 3rd. No dice. Worth a try. 4-6 ends the inning. 6-3 Zags going to B6.

Matt - 6 runs on 9 hits with 9 Ks in 5 2/3 innings. Not his best outing.

F9, F8, single Ryan. Need a 2 out rally!

Ryan steals 2B. Trei pops to 1B. Grrrr!

K, unintentional, intentional walk to Vieth. 5-4 for 2nd out Trei's throw to 1st looked like it slipped out of his hand and ends up a high lob to 1st.

Zags are wearing out the RF corner. RBI 2B makes it 7-3.

Pop to 1B ends T7.

Have we had any xtra bases yet? The opposition sure has.

2 doubles in the B5. Scored 2 runs.

Make it 3! HR by Ford!

Nothing more. 7-4 Zags going to T8.

Nevermind!

Zags #9 hitter trying to lose all the baseballs. Finally fouls out to 3B.

Single up the middle on next pitch. Balked to 2nd. HBP. 2 on, 1 out.

K for 2nd out.

Vieth should have been out on 1-2 pitch that froze him....and evidently the ump as well. Jackson comes back to get the K swinging.

And this is with Rice's #1 starter. I hate to think what will happen with the 5th, 6th and 7th starters.

Is it too early for a 2019 preview?

Some really ugly ABs at the bottom of the Owls order.

And just like that, Justin deposits one over the LF fence. 7-5. At least we get chicken.

Cody called out on strikes on 3-2 count.

1B unassisted ends inning.

Need to hold them here.

Fall Ball, baby.

That said, nice HR for Collins to narrow it to 7-5. Game still in reach with 1 out in B8.

Hey we have the long ball working a little bit....that bodes well

Swinging K to start T9.

Nice diving stop by Ford, but throw was wide and late.

Justin pounces on bunt and guns down runner at 2nd. Saves a run for now as next hitter singles to RF. Runners on corners, 2 outs.

Pop fly sends it to B9.

2-3-4-5 up and we need two runs.

Not hopeful but I guess this is who you want coming to the plate.

Nice job by Jackson eating innings and minimizing damage. Game is still in reach. 2,3,4 hitters up for Owls.

Righthander in for Zags. Closer I'm assuming?

4-3 starts B9.

Zags pitcher hit 96 to Braden. Then induces pop to 2B.

Ford singles to RF.

F7 ends it.
