Wichita State vs Arkansas Pine Bluff/K-State - Feb 25,26

[Cdizzle]

Bases loaded nobody out in the 3rd. Big mess of Oliver's own making, including an error on a sac bunt and a walk.

Oliver gives up a single and a run, and that's it for him. Bases still loaded with nobody out, Shox trailing 0-1.

Stuempfig in to try to keep it close.

[RoyalShock]

Wait if you attempt to bunt and miss, you don't get called for a strike?

You will get called for a strike unless you pull the bat back before the ball gets there.

[Cdizzle]

Big strikeout there. Now just need the GIDP.

Gets another strikeout and a lazy fly ball out.

Competition notwithstanding, that's some fantastic work coming in from the pen.

[WuDrWu]

Stumpy is keeping it down, which is good, but he's still struggling with a mechanic they're working with him on. Hit or miss. When he's got it locked in, he's tough.

FANTASTIC work from Stumpy there. You're welcome Connor Oliver.

[Cdizzle]

Hope Oliver has been saving up for steak dinners.

[WuDrWu]

Every time you hit the ball in the air you owe me 20 pushups. Grrrrrr

[WstateU]

Absolutely nothing wrong with what Connor is dealing right now. That's good stuff from the lefty. And yeah, it's freaking cold out here.

I see a couple of guys standing behind home plate above the box seats.

[Cdizzle]

Speaking of steak dinners, somebody get Elliot a sandwich. He could be an Astro and not get hit by a pitch.

[Cdizzle]

Like how much we're stealing with 2 outs and a runner on first. Almost feels competent.

[WuDrWu]

Not sure what Mike is watching but AJ didn't get a great jump at all, but this team will steal some bases this season.

[WuDrWu]

20 more pushups.

[Kung Wu]

1972Shocker said 5 innings make it official, so I suppose early runs are more critical in a game like this that could get called for weather midstream.

Stuempfig is nearly perfect coming in from the pen with the bases loaded and nobody out, so naturally he issues a 4 pitch walk to start the 4th.

And then takes 4 more pitches to get out of the inning. Guess he just felt more comfortable with somebody on.

Time to get the bats going.

Ended up with another solid inning. Certainly not in ideal conditions. 25 degree wind chill.

[WuDrWu]

Good example of how slow the turf is on that sac bunt.

Really lucky AJ didn't trip over the bag there. Stumpy is going to be good for us this season.
