Gm 55 - at ISUR (3 of 3)

How about 6?

Probably, but we'll see. The coaches probably won't want Gardner to throw more than 60-70ish pitches, so it will be up to the 'pen to hold 'em.

Shox 6 - Illinois Nada

That's what I'm talking about!

I forgot about Terre Haute being EST. 8 AM CST start time for Tuesday's game.

Hopefully the fellas are morning people.

Kris's day ends early after a long start to the 5th.

Tentatively a line of 3.2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 4 K on 70 pitches. A really nice effort, although his ERA is at the mercy of Ray Ashford who inherits the bases loaded. Kris is eligible for the win since this was a predetermined split.

[Play Angry]

Ray picks him up by escaping with a big K, glad to see it. Kris ought to feel good heading into the postseason.

[Shocker85]

Feel good ABs for Kirk and Dearman. 2 on 0 outs.

[Shocker85]

Hollenbeck must feel like a goalie today.

Bayliff with a 2 RBI single in the 5th, 8-0 Shox. It would be great to save the bullpen and run-rule these dudes.

[Shocker85]

Finally, 2 ribbies on a hit.

[Play Angry]

Bases juiced with nobody out for Chase Simpson.

Euthanasia pitching change for the redbirds. Still 8-0 Shox.

It would be great to save the bullpen and run-rule these dudes.

Hmmm ... good idea. Of course, what else do they have to do ... go to Terre Haute??? ;)

Hecht entered the game for ISUr with a sub-3 ERA. After 2.1 IP and 8 ER, it's now at 5.01. Ouch.


Kihle unleashes a bases loaded triple and gets singled in by Harbutz. 13-0 Shox, the dam has broken.

[Mr. Pickle]

Is this real life?

[Mr. Pickle]

What is the earliest opportunity for a run rule?

[Play Angry]

Tough year so far but man, this is fun to listen to. The rarity of wins like this (especially on the road against a top 100 team) the last six years makes you appreciate it that much more.

Drew Palmer in to pitch the bottom of the 5th.
