Over 10. Think we can get 5?

He is a former Commodore... Chance Huff.

Interesting move....

Georgia Tech error on throw trying to catch Bradfield. Bradfield at third with no one out.

1-0 on Bradfield's legs. Bulger flies out for a sac fly.

Keegan swings at first pitch even though Tech guy is struggling to find the plate. Grounds out. Rodriguez grounds out too.

Observations: we should have made Huff throw more pitches and prove he could throw strikes. He is a fastballer - so hopefully we will not be waving at curves all night. Tech played a very clean game against ISU - but they started our game with an error and it cost them another run. Hope the trend continues.

I am a little surprised Reilly is going tonight - just hope he throws strikes early.

Reilly gets the first two - lazy fly and K with a 97 mph fastball.

Sometimes it is with two out that he loses focus. Show me something.

Walk and wild pitch. Someone go talk to him. This is familiar. And he just needs to settle down. Good stuff tonight. But the way Tech hits longballs - free passes are very dangerous.

Finally after another walk they go talk to him.

Sometimes I hate how predictable our problems are.

Two quick outs - followed by three walks. Bases loaded with free passes.

Reilly needs to get the next batter or come out.

We are down 2-1. He has gone 3 balls on the last four. He had to groove one to Milloy and gave up a hit.

Me = Mr. Obvious, but I don't know how much longer they can leave him out there.

Now down 3-1. We had momentum - and we have given it away.

And Reilly is still in. This happens so often - unhittable for two batters and then a total loss of focus.

I really wonder why Little dodn't get the start tonight.

What is the source of Corbs' & Brown's trust and confidence in Reilly when he struggles? Did anyone in the bullpen even get up? I mean it's only the postseason...

To Reilly's credit, he came back strong in the 2nd inning. I really hope the pen is stretching and getting ready. Except for Alabama, I don't think Reilly has ever pitched 3 quality innings in the same game, and he's up pitches pitches.

Reilly is even better in the third. I give him credit for that.

He is near 70 pitches through three innings - because of the first inning.

There was never a doubt in my mind. I am, however, the biggest liar on this board, so-
