Leiter toughs it out through 118 pitches.

11 K's. One run.

The sixth was a bit of an adventure - but he ended it with stunning curveball.

Leiter has thrown 107 pitches. I would be ready in the pen.

Nice recovery by Young - I think this will be called an out.

Should have caught the ball in the first place....

Vaz had home stolen. That really hurt.

Leiter sat a long time - and now he is missing high.

I'm really not sure about that - in the 1-4 match-up sometimes the #1 will hold back #1 pitcher because they feel they can get by without burning him. Losing the first game is a really bad way to go. In a 2-3 death match - it takes stones not to start your best. It also allows him to come back if th...

Taking a quick look at Georgia Tech's stats and record reveals that Justyn-Henry Malloy - our transfer - led the team in OBP, HR's and RBI's. Interesting. Also, they were not involved in a lot of sweeps (nobody swept them) - usually competitive series. Beat Duke and NC State and UNC and Louisville i...

I had a feeling they might send Presbyterian to Nashville. I also think - still unrevealed - if LSU makes it, they will go to Notre Dame....

The committee likes a story line...

Vandy opens with a storyline - Presbyterian. A tip of the hat to Coach. Georgia Tech and Indiana State round out the region.

Teamed against the East Carolina region - which also has Charlotte.

We are the #4 seed nationally.

Vandy boys will get some needed rest.

Need to play better.

We have outhit OM 6-4 so far.

OM pitcher fast but wild.

Ironically, if Bulger could have gotten out of the way of the wild HBP - we would have scored another with Bradfield on 3rd. No way that one gets caught.

Unbelievable. A good at-bat ends with a sharp DP.

4-1. Bases loaded no outs - but we strand 2 and score only 1.

Going forward I’d flip LaNeve and Rodriguez in the order. Long season seems to be taking a toll on Rodriguez’s batting.

Bases loaded, no one out. Keegan up.

NOT going down without a fight.

Bradfield walks. 1st and 2nd.

Myers will get yanked. I am really surprised he got sent in for the 8th. I am glad to see him pulled before facing Thomas. Thomas is a good hitter who was really having trouble with the offspeed stuff. Spanked the 1st inning fastball and didn’t see another...

Nice. Vaz smacks a lead-off double.

2 hits since our 3rd batter...

Maldonado hits Elko... with 2strikes.

What is frustrating is we keep making the same mistakes.

OM’s pitcher isn’t scary. But he doesn’t give free bases.

OM’s homer is the first run of the day to get aboard via a hit. The others walked or HBP.

Well, I was wrong. OM pitcher 1-2-3. Announcers hoped he’d get through 4. He has cruised through 7. Again, we hit fastballs. Off-speed not so much. Wish we would just slap some singles. Flies aren’t carrying anyway. I think we are really missing Young. A little extra rest is not all bad. We just are...

3-0 bottom of 7th.

I think it is a mistake for OM to leave in the pitcher... but will we take advantage?

Leiter pitch count over 100.
