Well that's the game. I won't take the bet on winning 1 more game. But I will take the bet that says we ain't going to Omaha

Again, 2 hits, sixth inning…

Coach could go talk. Doesn’t.

3 run homer. I wish our staff - who I usually never criticize- would coach like our season is on the brink. They are trying to coach like it’s business as usual - and they are getting their brains beaten in. And sadly, that’s what’s becoming business as usual.

Meanwhile our remaining healthy arm is over 100 pitches, down 7-2.

I wonder if there are any stats to show that the pitcher's performance improves on the next batter after a mound visit. Could be, it's intuitive, but I'm skeptical. I'm guessing he gives up the homerun ball in any event. Why? (1) He's gassed, and (2) It's Vandy. I've been watching the Braves. And in the 7th inning the Braves pitcher gave up consecutive hits, followed by a mound visit, followed immediately by a 3rd hit. He was gassed. One plus of a visit of course is that it gives a reliever additional time to warm up. There's that.

Bottom of the 8th - our first lead off base runner of the night.

Also our first single of the night.

Leadoff base runner scores.

Baxter needs to make this a “point of emphasis.”

Again, broken record, get the leadoff guy on - make opponent less comfortable. Stuff happens.

This game is about base runners.

Tying run at the plate: bases loaded, one out.

One run game. Still one out.

Singles!!! Walks. HBP for the team.

A really good HBP by Schreck. A really good walk by Noland.

And a huge single by Bulger for 2 runs.

None will jump out of the box score - but those are the plays that win games.
