WSU vs. UTA GAME TWO

[ShockerFever]

3B is getting eaten up this game.

4 errors into the 7th. KC is starting to look more right with each passing moment.

Shocks imploding defensively. Down 8-3.

Grimes with 3 errors. The last was a grounder that went right between his legs allowing two runs to score with two outs.

Well, let's hope the Shox get all the bad defense out of their systems today. Sounds pretty ugly.

When did Grimes play third?

Meant SS. I was typing in the middle of the MSU basketball chokejob.

I guess we have established that UTA > WSU in baseball this year.

Shocks leave 14 runners stranded on base.

I guess a fitting way to end the weekend.

The bullpen actually wasn't bad today.

Muncrief (3.2), Beringer (1.2), Vielock (0.1) and LaBrie (1.0) gave up 4 runs in 6.2 innings but only 1 of those was earned. The two out errors by Halbert and Grimes lead to the 3 runs in the 7th that pretty much put the game away.

On offense the Shocks did have 11 hits, 8 walks, and 1 HBP Unfortunately they could only plate 3 of those 20 baserunners. 2 were erased on double plays, 1 (Grimes) was picked off was picked off 3rd by the cather and the other 14 were stranded.

Won't win very many games with that kind of production. Hopefully, it was just one of those days.

Today's game is a write-off.

Fortunately, the Shox have this entire week to get back to Wichita, go to class, and practice every day for a week (minus required day(s) off) before the Tulane series starts on Friday. It should be a good week to work on some fundamentals.

A 9-2 start and a 2-2 road first road trip of the year is not a disaster. I would have thought 3-1 considering the competition, but UTA apparrently has the Shox number.
