#18 Wichita State @ Central Arkansas

He caused a lot of his own problems with that failed pickoff attempt.

Apparently a good day for double plays.......

Shocks doing their part on trying to play fast. Their pitcher has only had to throw 34 pitches so far.

[WuDrWu]

I'm guessing Preston doesn't make it out of the 3rd.


HBP, line out, double, falling behind every batter. Not a recipe for success. 1-0 Central Arkansas. Walk....probably been out there 3 batters too many.

[Play Angry]

Not a lot of first pitch strikes outta Preston so far, gotta remedy that ASAP if he's gonna stick around today.

Gametracker indicates we had a pretty snazzy twin killing to escape the 2nd. The ol' ground ball shortstop to catcher to 3B to 2B double play.

Still 0-0 to the 3rd. Preston living dangerously but staying on the right side of the law so far.

With the weather threatening this is a game that you would like to get a lead by the 5th inning and not wait till the 2nd half of the game to get the offense going.

Looks like UCA took your advice.

RBI double with 1 out in the 3rd, 1-0 Bears.

2-0 on 4 straight hitters to start the inning. Hard to imagine the ump is squeezing the zone today, just get it close.

[1972Shocker]

This may be it for Preston if he doesn't get this guy.

[1972Shocker]

Nice recovery by Preston again. Consdiring all the traffic on the basepaths for UCA the Shocks have to feel fairly good about only being down 1. Let's get this tied up.

[Play Angry]

I was a little surprised they left Preston in to face LeBlanc, but he rebounded admirably to strike out him and Aguilar to end the inning. Not a sharp day for the starter but 1 run through 3 IP so far is a solid result.

Hitters gotta get on the board.

[WuDrWu]

That's why they don't pay me to coach.....Preston settles down and strikes out the next 2 batters and keeps the damage limited to 1 run.


Shocks trail 1-0 after 3 full.

[1972Shocker]

Alec is due for a big fly.

Still due.

[Play Angry]

Jenista walks to lead off the 4th, Bohm follows with a fielder's choice, and O'Brien walks.

1st and 2nd, 1 out for Vickers with Wallace on deck. Come on Shocks.

[WuDrWu]

Really have to get something here. 2 on 1 out. 2 walks.

[Play Angry]

Vickers singles.

Bases juiced, 1 out. Let's go Paxton, gotta have it here buddy.

[1972Shocker]

Big sport for the freshman. Need at least a sac fly out of this AB.

Should HCTG go with Katzfey or Gibson here to get a righty-lefty matchup?
