Our hitting effort is very concerning.

Next inning Diaz, Schreck, Noland, Maldo - heart of the order. Need to do something.

Not feeling very good about this game. Looks like we are reverting to our pre-SEC Tourney form. Either hit it hard right at someone, pop it up, or strike out. Meanwhile, their 47 pound pitcher seems to be getting stronger while Boki seems to be tiring.

EBjr's swing is just all funked up. He's off-balance, squatting and lunging at the ball. He's just too good to be so screwed up. I don't think Vandy has a hitting coach.

Boki 52 pitches through 5. He returned to grand form when we really needed him.

Boki only at the 44 pitch count through 4 - but may be tiring in the heat. I’m betting we try to get one more inning from him.

Bradfield makes a nice play to cut off a ball in the alley - possibly saved a run.
Boki has performed heroically. Better than we could ever have hoped for. We have simply GOT to put a few more runs on the board so as not to waste it.

He just seems to be stubbornly trying to elevate when the team needs him on base. No batting coach would tell him to do what he is doing. Could we flash a bunt sign?

Again, he saved a run in the field.

Don’t have a good feeling at all about this one. Like last night, several squandered opportunities. Xavier is a big inning away from ending VU’s season.

Boki out and they got runners at the corners with one out. Need a double play to get out of this. Reiley in to pitch in relief.

tied up: Bulger throws them out. Hit by pitch costs us big, but could have been a lot worse. NEED OFFENSE.

3 hits through 7.

Did the loss last night kill our spirit? Our batters look absolutely listless.
