The free bases are playing havoc.

Pretty simple game. Don’t give away free bases, your chances of winning are much better.

2-2 after 3.

A great first inning... very ugly next two.

Kind of lucky to be tied.

I usually pay for comments like this: the ump has a nice strike zone.

LaNeve trusts him - and works a walk.

Gonzo is due and REALLY needs a hit here. Preferably an extra base hit, but I won't be greedy.

Arkansas with the quick hook - Wicklander pulled top of fourth after walking Noland.

Two out, bases loaded. New pitcher...

Love forcing them to go to the bullpen here. Even if they work out of it that is still a win with Rocker struggling a bit.

3-2. Bradfield was close. Shame he couldn't find a hole.

What a weird game. Two good teams playing kind of tight.

3-2 Vandy, going to bottom of fourth.

Gonzo patience works a bases loaded walk to score a run. Bradfield grounds out on 3-1 pitch near the edge.

Arky only has two hits. But tons of base runners...

Rocker needs to come out if he loses the 9 hole batter again

He needs to come out period. Time for McElvain. Let Rocker rest for next week.
