Larry watches a meat pitch on 3-1 only to swing at ball 4 in the dirt
Wow. So I see we continue our excellent plate approach with bases juiced like we did last year. I swear I hate it every time we get bases loaded. Never works out for us. Inning ending DP by Alford
Quick inning by Lo. Nice work

And We find out what the pitcher has. After Hines hit one to Crawford foul, he never got one close on the next 4.Quote:

First pitch swinging on the new pitcher worked out that time for Highfill
6-0 good guys after 2 run blast by Ledbetter
I see one of Jordan?s issues. He wraps the bat back before taking it to the baseball.Quote:

Dude has eaten 5 hot dogs through 5 innings. Working on his 6th.
Edit to add: he has 7 down.
Looks like Lanes short arming everything and the ball has no zip on it like he has shown the last couple of years.Quote:

Ok so that maybe the longest home run I've seen hit at Dudy Noble.
Geez!
ULM was out of the inning with a double play. Catcher interference nullifies the inning ending double play. Then you have a bases loaded single and next a 3 run HR. An error changed everything.
"That's baseball."
The only person I've seen do what Dakota Jordan just did was McNamee but that was in pre-game batting practice.
Bart just said 474 feet!
Good response so far today let's continue this into the weekend.
It ain't how you start but how you finish. Youngsters looking really good today.Quote:

LOL Guessing they never read former MLB pitcher Dr. Tom House's book where he said there's no need to ice unless you're injured.
Yessiree! Oh my...Quote:

Well now to be fair, what ULM lefty starter did to our offense yesterday has happened to some of our best teams too. In the past BL ( before Lemonis) our pitching would keep us in it until we got into the opponents bullpen. And there were times the hitting never came around like against Winthrop?s Ace throwing a shutout against us several years ago.Quote:
