Shox vs. Salukis Game 1

[GoShockers89]

Shocker baseball since 2009: Good pitching, worse hitting.

Tonight has illustrated this pretty well.

You're welcome.

Sincerely,

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Went to the ballpark to watch quality baseball tonight.

Too bad im at Box Stadium and not Eck Stadium.

Edit: didnt check my post.

Well that's one way to win a game.

Walk, stolen base, moved up on an out, and score on a wild pitch. WSU 4-3.

Shane says he's still not in good humor, but a win is a win.

[MadaboutWu]

How did they score in the 10th?

[MadaboutWu]

Your answer beat my question. Thanks.

We sucked at the plate all night but found a way to win 4-3 in 10 innings.

SIU booted the ball all over the place and couldn't stop us on the base paths. We reciprocated by continuously stranding RISP in spectacularly frustrating fashion.

Fortunately our pitching staff held serve and the offense was eventually able to ooze a few runs across to come from behind.

Is this one you go home feeling fortunate to win. 4 hits and 1 earned run in 10 innings by the Shocks and walk away a winner.

Solid pitching by Josh, Foster and Cale. Shocker pitchers issued no base on balls vs 6 for the SIU pitchers.

Hey, when you pound out four whole hits in 9+ innings, you need to find a way to score without using one up. Very resourceful.

[SB Shock]

This was the game if the were going to lose would be it. Shocks should be able to do more offensively the next 2 games.

Emphasis on "should." Hope you're right.

I noticed Lambert got a great jump to steal 2nd in the bottom of the tenth. It seems like he has been getting some really good jumps lately. It just seems like he is reading the pitchers better than he did last year.

[ShockerFever]

The last time we got hand-delivered a game, we choked that series away.

Or SIU found us a way to win without using one up. Sometimes you win, sometimes you get beat. Sometimes you lose, sometimes times your opponent loses.
