Vanderbilt-Mississippi State Sunday

[charlestonalum]

Double play much needed but 0-2

[4timenatlchamps]

Damage limited, somewhat. Need to start capitalizing. Billingsley's slider isn't even breaking all that great, I don't know why some of our guys have struggled with it to this point.

LEADING OFF FOR MISS ST IN THE TOP OF THE THIRD IS JORDAN WESTBURG SINGLES TO REACH BASE. JAKE MANGUM SINGLES TO RIGHT TO MOVE WESTBURG TO THIRD. ROWDEY JORDAN WITH RUNNERS AT THE CORNERS SAC FLIES TO SCORE WESTBURG. MANGUM REMAINS AT FIRST. TANNER ALLEN WALKS AND SENDS MANGUM TO SECOND. HUNTER STOVALLSINGLES TO LEFT AND SCORES ONE WITH RUNNERS AT FIRST AND SECOND. ELIJAH MACNAMEE WITH A 2-0 LEAD STILL ONLY ONE AWAY GROUNDS INTO A DP 643 TO END THE INNING. MISS ST 3-0

This team gives up a lot of key two strike hits and is hitting about .100 with RISP.

I just don't know why our starting pitchers have so much trouble punching out a guy with 2 strikes. That #9 batter cost us dear. MSU's pitcher throw s a 77 mph slider and fans us with two strikes.

There has not been a single pitch in this series where we have been in the lead.

[charlestonalum]

We must convert : we have been hitting 180 with people in scoring position. Not winning hitting.

[geeznotagain]

This is a very tense series. We seem to be playing from behind all the time.

If I'm not mistaken, we've led at the end of 1 inning in this entire series -- tied or behind in all the rest.

Steven Scott HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roanoke]

Long ball by Scott - that might get things started? He is hot.

We do seem more clued in to Billingsley the second time through.

[4timenatlchamps]

Atta way to respond!!!!

[BelleVUe]

My wind-up radio just lost power, so I have to rely on you guys to tell me what happens. I'm too tired to crank it for 10 minutes.

[4timenatlchamps]

Controversial opinion I'm sure: Hickman needs a quick inning.

[charlestonalum]

6 k's for us - need more contact

[BWestbrook]

What a catch by Martin!!!!

[vujoe]

We need a hitting coach! Not an ex player!

[roanoke]

Off-speed stuff has haunted us - since 2015.

[vujoe]

I never expected to go to Omaha this year but not losing to Mississippi State!

[4timenatlchamps]

The way this guy calls the high pitches is really getting on my nerves.

[4timenatlchamps]

That was a really great defensive play, both by Kaiser to get it out of his glove and by Infante for making the pick.

[charlestonalum]

I listen to Joe - that way TV doesn't matter.
