Pretty much what we couldn’t have happen. Hope we can keep it close here.

Miller having trouble throwing strikes in warm up. Not good.

[1972Shocker]

We are in big trouble now. Bases loaded for UConn and no outs.

Peters got a infield pop up to set up a possible inning ending double play. Unfortunately, he got a double without to play that scores 2 for UConn to tie the game. After going 2-0 on the next batter Peters is out and Miller Pliemann is in.

Yep. A balk and a walk.

Shocks could really use a double play grounder here.

[Kung Wu]

Sheesh. Bases loaded AGAIN and only 1 out. Down 4-2 now.

[SB Shock]

Shocker in year 6 just does not have the pitching depth to be a championship team.

[1972Shocker]

UConn ends up with a 5-spot in the 2nd to take a 5-2 lead after 2.

You’re just now realizing this?

There are a LOT of things that are not of a championship caliber with these teams and that has been demonstrated over and over through the last half decade.

A couple of fluke wins this week doesn’t change anything. Please try not to get fooled and look at the big picture.

@KungWu now that bat breaking in two is something you don't see much in college baseball with the composite bats. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen that.

[Kung Wu]

Let's go!

[WuDrWu]

Stumpy in. Have to hold ‘em here for much of a chance.

[Kung Wu]

Whew

[1972Shocker]

Shocks have stranded 5 in 4 innings but UConn has stranded 7. Shocks still in the game. Top of the order up for the Shocks in the 5th.

[1972Shocker]

Luke threatens the wall in left but the UConn leftfielder is able to get back and make the grab near the top of the wall.

[WuDrWu]

That’s the 5th above average play at or near the wall against the Shocks this tournament. They’ve been a little unlucky in that one regard.

Really feels like we’re running out of steam. Not a lot of energy from the guys right now.

Have to hang on here somehow. Walking the leadoff guy again would be bad.

[Aargh]

Walk, single, error 3B and there are runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. At least now if Stumpy can't throw a strike, which has been the pattern, it sets up a force play at the plate.

Edit: Called it!

[1972Shocker]

My guess is that was a semi-intentional walk. Keep the ball outside the zone and let him chase if wants to. I think it was a good move. Gives the Shocks the best chance to escape. Will see if it works out.

[WuDrWu]

Excellent guess, had to give Marley time, but Stumpy couldn’t find the plate anyway.

[1972Shocker]

Cadena has done a great job blocking pitches in the dirt today.
