Alexander out, Holland in. I wonder if this is just a rest for Luke, or if this is due to his bat?

[BeardoMSU]

Interesting.

[msstate7]

Interesting.
Yep. 2 freshmen committed big errors in the 1st inning Sunday and neither are starting tonight

[Brando]

I'm happy with this line up. Just hope Pilkington will get a few innings instead of just 2 or 3...

[BeardoMSU]

Is Cody Brown not starting recently a righty/lefty thing, or is he too valuable as a sub late? Or is there something more sinister at work?

[State82]

Interesting.

Yes it is. Not worried about it but kinda curious about his thought process. But I don't get as caught up in the line-up controversy as some.

Not sure, but he is so scrappy and I'm not sure how you keep him out of the lineup.

[BeardoMSU]

My thoughts exactly.

[Brando]

3 up, 3 down for Pilkington. Bottom 1st. 0-0

[CadaverDawg]

I like Pilk

[Brando]

Why do we have to try to get pretty with a team like we are playing tonight? Robson singles and advances to 2nd on error by CF, then trys to delay steal 3rd and get thrown out. Kruger walks. Lowe AB.

It's called not respecting your opponent and it's why we lose games like last week.

[msstate7]

Does anyone hit more balls hard right at people than Lowe?

[Brando]

Lowe squared one up good. Only reason it wasn't a hit was the 1st baseman was holding Kruger.

[Brando]

Does anyone hit more balls hard right at people than Lowe?
I still think he is going to explode, just a matter of time. He is stroking them, but like you stated, its right at people...

[Brando]

Hump rips one into left. Kruger scores. Dawgs 1-0. Runners on 2nd and 3rd.

[Brando]

End of 1st. Dawgs up 3-0.

[jbjones]

I like Pilk

Funny you say that, it brings back some memories. I went to HS with a Pilkington...probably one of his family members since I went to East Central as well. That's exactly what everyone called him too (Pilk).

Awesome. I think he may be a sleeper as a great pitcher for us down the road

[BeardoMSU]

How many HR's have been robbed from us this year?

[Mjoelner34]

Live Stats showing that we are already 3 for 5 tonight with 2 outs and if I'm not mistaken, I think I saw them flash a stat this weekend that our 2 out average is higher than our overall batting average. That's pretty good clutch hitting.

[jbjones]

I think so as well. I was either a football teammate, or coached by the current Hornet baseball coaches. They are all high on him. They may be northern miss fans, but they're proud of Porter and Pilk.

While I was typing, Inside the park Grand Slam by Robson!!!

Edit: played 5, 9-0 Dawgs.

[Brando]

Damn Robson can fly. Hit it to the deepest part of the park also... Anywhere else in the park, that ball is gone...

[BeardoMSU]

How does that happen, lol?

[Mjoelner34]

While I was typing, Inside the park grand slam, by Robson!!!

That's 2 more hits and 5 more RBI's with 2 outs. Wow!

[jbjones]

How does that happen, lol?

Sounded like it bounced off the wall...caused some problems, possibly a mis-throw...and Robson hauling ass.

Pilk is out...Cyr is on the mound for the Dawgs.

Anyone got a video?

[Smitdawg]

Robson with a inside the park Grand Slam. 9-0 Dawgs.

Wow. I have never seen an inside the park Grand Slam before. An occasional ITP home run and it is more impressive because Robson is so fast there wasn't even a close play at the plate.

[jbjones]

That's 2 more hits and 5 more RBI's with 2 outs. Wow!

I think Jim said Robson had a single, sac bunt, and a homer thus far.

The two outfielders were converging on the wall but it hit between them off the bottom of the wall. By the time they chased it down, there was nothing they could do to Robson.

[Smitdawg]

Robson had a double his previous at bat on what would probably have been a single for most people.

[jbjones]

That's right, thanks for the correction. I'm not going to blame that on Jim...could have easily been my misinterpretation. I was listening to my local HAM net check-in, MSU Baseball, and typing on this forum at the same time...

9-0, headed to bottom of the 6th inning. Cyr got us out of it after a few base runners.

[State82]

As Bart said on the SEC Network+ telecast, that usually requires a fortuitous bounce and he got it off the base of the wall. That ball was well struck.

[BeardoMSU]

Is Valley good at anything?

[Mjoelner34]

And in the bottom of the 6th. 2 up, 2 down followed by 2 singles and an error producing another run. Dear Coach Cohen. Can you convince all of our hitters that there are constantly 2 outs?

ETA: Now 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th and still batting after 2 out and nobody on.

[Smitdawg]

Well, that last play not withstanding, their outfielders have made some good plays to rob us of hits tonight. It would be much worse for them if not for that.

Edit: If you mean sports in general, last time I remember them being good was in football as a child when I would see the articles in The Clarion Ledger on their games when they had Jerry Rice. Those were some high scoring offenses.

Good point, and that is for sure.

[Percho]

Are Cody and Richie kin?

[jbjones]

Mercer beat GA 3-1.

[msstate7]

I still think he is going to explode, just a matter of time. He is stroking them, but like you stated, its right at people...

I think he will too. Really like how he hits the ball well to the opposite field.

[Brando]

That's a wrap. Final Dawgs 16 MV 1. Pilkington with win.

[Brando]

Also, FL barely beat FL Atlantic 2-1.
