Arizona Game 1..

[57stratdawg]

Arizona in business with 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Brown gets out of it, but AZ is up 1-0. Also, Brown had to throw a shitload of pitches in that inning.

 

[Hammer Down]

Fortunate to only be down 1-0 after that cluster of an inning. I guess good teams minimize bad innings, maybe that is a good sign.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff Single for Luke Reynolds to start 2nd.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another single. 1st and 2nd - 1 out. Holland up.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Arizona dugout is some chattering bastards aren't they.

 

[57stratdawg]

Heck gets caught looking. 2 left in inning.

 

[57stratdawg]

Not much for AZ in the B2. Brown gets through with a couple ground balls and fly out to RF.

 

[57stratdawg]

FYI - Grindley got the start at 3B with Holland at 2B and Rea at 1B.

Arizona dugout is some chattering bastards aren't they.

They look and sound a lot like the Flagship.

 

[57stratdawg]

Gridley with a HBP. Humphrey up

 

[57stratdawg]

Humphrey with a sac bunt. A little odd to bunt the 3hole guy with 0 outs in the 3rd inning. Robson up.

 

[57stratdawg]

The Hammer with a single, but Gridley had to hold to see if it was caught. Interesting here with Robson at 1B and Gridley at 3B. Rea up.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rea with a walk on a full count. Bases loaded with Reynolds coming up. 1 Out. Need to cash in here for at least a run.

 

[57stratdawg]

Reyonds with a fielder's choice to 1B. Bases still loaded, 2 outs for Jake Vickerson.

 

[57stratdawg]

Full count. They'll be moving...

 

[57stratdawg]

Ball 4. Tied at 1. Bases still loaded. Good eye, that pitch was close.

 

[57stratdawg]

Behind Lovelady 2-0, and AZ is going to make a pitching change.

 

[57stratdawg]

3-1 count to Lovelady..

 

[57stratdawg]

Ball 4! 2-1 MSU. Holland up with a chance to do some damage.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ugly strikeout. Left um loaded with 3 walks in the inning. 2-1 MSU. AZ with the top of their lineup coming up. They're as good as it gets in the 1-3 spots.

 

[57stratdawg]

Brown with a 4 pitch walk to start the B3. Not what you want after you get handed a lead.

 

[57stratdawg]

AZ tries a hit and run and Lovelady roasts him. 1 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Single - wild pitch - walk. AZ with 2 on and 2 outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Grounder to Holland ends the inning. 2-1 MSU after 3.

This game is taking forever.

 

[57stratdawg]

AZ's middle infield retires all 3. Headed to B4, 2-1 MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

3 up, 3 down for PBrown. 2-1 MSU after 4.

 

[57stratdawg]

Robson K's for the second time on some high heat. Rae gets good contact, but lines it right at the RF. Reynolds Ks.

The relief pitcher has done his job since coming it.

 

[57stratdawg]

Strike out, Single, Flyout to Left, Strike out. Headed to Top 6, MSU up 2-1 still.

 

[57stratdawg]

Leadoff bunt single from Vickerson.

 

[57stratdawg]

Wow - Lovelady slips trying to field the Lovelady bunt. Throws it 1B anyway, but off the bag. Vickerson gets to 3B.

Runners on the corner - no outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Holland with a sac fly. 3-1 MSU.

 

[57stratdawg]

Gridley puts some smoke on it, but is retired by the 3B. 3-1 MSU, Mid 6th.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nice pitch from P Brown. 7 Ks now through 5.1.

 

[57stratdawg]

Follow that up with a ground ball to the P and fly out to RF. 1-2-3 inning. MSU leads after 6.

Preston closing in on 100 pitches. I would think he'll be on a short leash next inning. Ross Mitchell in the bullpen warming up.

 

[57stratdawg]

2 on 2 out. Vickerson up. Seems like he's been up in some big ABs this game.

 

[57stratdawg]

He delivers! RBI from Vickerson. 4-1 MSU.

Good 2 out hitting from MSU in this inning.

 

[DerHntr]

He delivers! RBI from Vickerson. 4-1 MSU.

Good 2 out hitting from MSU in this inning.

Damn glad you do this thread. Thank you!

 

[57stratdawg]

Lovelady lines out to the RF. But MSU gets a walk and two singles all with 2 outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

R Mitchell in. Gets a lead off grounder, but a single from a freshman pinch hitter.

Nice decision to PH by Lopez.

1 on, 1 out.
