2 H 0 runs 0 errors for Rice in the T1

Great video fee from WKU!

If you like nosebleed seats.

The AAC can’t get here too soon.

After 2 outs, Parker gives up a double, RBI single and HBP, which gets him a mound visit.

Whatever was said worked. 6-3 ends the inning. 0-1.

3 singles and a throwing error make it 0-3 in the B2. Runner at 2nd and only 1 out.

Triple (would have been an error if the hitter’s Mom wasn’t keeping score) makes it 0-4.

Well that’s a disappointing start…

Well the good news is according to the WKU Livestats, WKU is leading Charlotte 4-0 tonight.

Or maybe JK has finally done away with the OER and adopted the Charlotte logo?

A single and 3 doubles tighten things up in the T5 for the 49ers, err, Owls. 3-4.

Holderbach ties it back up in the T6 with a solo HR!

Garza adds a 2-out single and that leads to a WKU pitching change..

Not sure why a guy batting .161 is batting lead off?

I've been keeping my mouth shut about this. I know Johnson walks a lot, but he can't hit jack. If we're going to play him for defense, then batting him #9. BTW, not sure he provides better OF defense then, say, Devenny.

WKU has 6 batters hitting over .300. We have none.

Second consecutive inning Parker gives up a one-out double, but against escapes unscathed.

Heading to T8 at 4-4. I suspect Parker's night is done as he just passed 100 pitches.

Rice goes down 1-2-3 in T8. Jose rolls the dice with Long (after Parker got the first out of the inning), who has had two horrible outings in a row. I would have gone back to Linskey.

Long hits a batter, but nothing more. Heading to T9...1-2-3 against a new pitcher with a 4.65 ERA. If Long can pitch a clean 9th, we get the top of the order in the 10th.

0-5 tonight and now batting .159. Just can’t see how anyone hitting at that clip can bat anything other than 9th

Long retires them in order. Onto the 10th inning with both teams due to send up the hearts of their orders. And WKU puts in their closer...

Reidel leadoff single.
Royo fouled out.
Walsh flied out to CF.
Smiggy struck out swinging. Ugh.

And it appears Jose is sticking with Long. I hope Matt is warming up in the pen and ready to go if needed to get out of a game-saving jam.

WKU walks it off 4-5. Long gave up a one-outing single. Struck out the next guy, but the a walk and double.

Would have gone to Linskey after the walk as Long was already closing in on 50 pitches.

Another frustrating loss in a long line of frustrating losses this season.

Well crap, AGAIN

same old.
