[SB Shock]

Shockers waste a Ritter triple in the first. 0-0 B1

Not going to win in this league if you can't execute.

[SB Shock]

Eddy works around a couple hits. 0-0 T2

[SB Shock]

HBP and walk gives WSU another golden opportunity to put some runs up in the 2nd.

[SB Shock]

Shockers leave another 2 men on. Eddy gives up another ringing single to start of the Bottom of 2nd.

3-dude single [copyright Brent Kemnitz) given up. Houston with runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

[SB Shock]

Sac Fly by Houston. 1-0 Houston B2

[SB Shock]

Eddy struggling for the 2nd week in row. Houston 2-0, still batting B2.

[SB Shock]

Shockers tie it up at 2-2 in the 3rd with help of Bohm double.

[SB Shock]

2 run Hr by Dugas - WSU 4, Houston 2 in the 3rd

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

He must be really good in practice.

[Play Angry]

BOOM

[Play Angry]

Welp, Liam getting lit up for the second week in a row. Hopefully we can win a battle of the bullpens as that's where this looks to be heading.

4-4, bottom of the 3rd.

[Play Angry]

Liam pulled with a runner on 1st and nobody out for Killgore.

2 IP, 4 ER (so far), 6 H, 2 BB, 1 K

Hate to be hard on him since he's had a very good freshman campaign to date but this was an atrocious outing. Hopefully Keylan can get it under control.

[Play Angry]

GIDP followed by a fly out ends the inning, nice job by Keylan. Hopefully we can continue to hit Fletcher well.

4-4 to the 4th.

[Cdizzle]

Shox grab a 5-4 lead on a big 2-out hit by Ritter.

[Play Angry]

2 out single for Ritter drives in Young to push the Shocks back ahead, 5-4. Don't think it's been mentioned but this is a 7 inning game, so the importance of every run increases a bit with the shortened window to make up a deficit.

[Cdizzle]

Although if you do get a lead, your pen has to hold it for 6 fewer outs. Maybe Killgore can get to Sanburn.
