Vanderbilt-Clemson Sunday

[BWestbrook]

This kid pitched last night

[admin]

CLEMSON LEADS OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE 5TH WITH WHARTON SINGLES TO LEFT. GRAYSON BYRD SINGLES TO LEFT TO PLACE RUNNERS AT 1ST AND 2ND. JORDAN GREENE ON A FULL COUNT STRIKES OUT SWINGING FOR OUT 1. ROBERT JOLLY HITS AN OPPOSITE FIELD SINGLE TO LOAD THE BASES. KIER MEREDITH BATTING LEFT GETS HIT BY PITCH TO SCORE A RUN. CORBIN ARGUING WHY THE BATTER GETS A BASE WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND NOT GIVEN THE BASE. DAVIDSON BATTING LEFT STRIKES OUT FOR OUT 2.

Now in the top of the 6th, Vandy has taken total command of the game. Leading 11-3 after a grand slam by Connor Kaiser. 1 out so far in this inning.

[commadore]

How big was that last inning now?

[roanoke]

Hickman walks lead-off man. Falls behind next batter.

Gives up a homer.

That should be it - he did not walk many. But when he did. It hurt him.

[commadore]

What really hurt was that he had the first guy 1-2 before walking him. Need some help from Conger now.

[roanoke]

11 runs may not be enough. 5 sure weren't. Again, balls are flying out of here.

But Conger needs to throw strikes. We are getting no favors.

[commadore]

it is 11-5, JUST THROW STRIKES!

[geeznotagain]

With most staffs I'd be both ecstatic and comfortable with a 6 run lead this late.

[geeznotagain]

With a double digit lead I'd feel okay. Heck, I could hold a double-digit led.

VANDY GETS OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE 6TH LEADING 11-5.

[BWestbrook]

It may take 15 to win tonight.

[roanoke]

Clemson's very vocal crowd seems to be thinning out.

Feels like Martin has led off a lot of innings.

[BWestbrook]

Clemson starting to cry a lot

[BWestbrook]

Scott with a bomb

[roanoke]

Scott blasts another. To center. A no-doubter.

This place is a launching pad.

Scott, Kaiser and Clarke all have two homers.

What I like most about this: each time Clemson has scored, we have scored in the next inning. Showing character. Answering them - deflating their momentum.

[UNCDore]

Clemson fans look like they are done but we are still in a game.

[commadore]

Clemson starting to cry a lot

Class vs ass. Martin takes a called third stike on a close pitch and turns and walks to the bench. Clempsun guy does the same except he bitches, moans and cries all the way back.

Meanwhile, Kaiser puts himself into the record books! Vandyboys 14 - Clempsun 5.

[roanoke]

Kaiser is now a solo shot away from a home run cycle. I have never seen that. 2-run, 3-run, grand slam.

[BWestbrook]

Happy for him!!!!
