1. I was worried about this game because I knew the guy we were facing had shut down Ole Miss twice and we were pitching Evan Mitchell. I hate to say it, but once we got Evan out of the game, my anxiety level dropped significantly.
2. Hunter Renfroe is a bad mother. Everyone hit the ball well it seemed like- not very many strike outs and a lot of good quality contact. Slowly but surely, we are making progress at the plate it seems like.
3. Mitch Slauter did a good job of coaching first base. Mingione was out recruiting somewhere. I bet Mitch had a blast out there.
4. I sat close behind the MSU dugout. One interesting interaction was between Cohen and Butch after Ross went out for the sixth or seventh inning. Cohen comes up to Butch and goes "We have GOT to get (couldn't tell what Cohen said- others, someone else, Fitts?) into the game.
5. Another interesting moment- we almost pinch hit Nick Flair for Hunter in the ninth, but Sam struck out.
6. Sam Frost's "awesome play per twitter"- Wes's foot was clearly off the bag and the umpire blew it.
7. The ninth inning outburst was a little misleading. Memphis's dumbass coach played the infield in with the bases loaded and no one out despite being down by six. And we made them pay.
8. We ran the bases well. We got a run off of a squeeze- that's a really tough play on a baserunner. And then later in the game, we used Robson to pinch run, and on a sac fly, the OF for Memphis threw the ball to third, and then Robson comes in the back door and takes second. Very nicely done.
