Emporia State game

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Speaking on behalf of all those at work: Thank you very much for the updates.

Indeed thank you very much.

I just got back to the desk

No problem. Shockers are up 4-1 heading to the bottom of the 4th inning.

Kelley's line is as follows: 4IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 5SO

Wonder if they will pull him after the 5th?

[shocks771]

Well, my question was answered earlier than anticipated. McKeever is in to pitch for WSU in the 5th.

[shocks771]

McKeever gives up two runs lead down to 4-3. ESU still threatening with runners at 1st and 2nd.

[shocks771]

Tyler Fleming in to pitch for WSU.

[shocks771]

After giving up a walk to load the bases, Fleming gets a groundout to end the inning. Shox lead 4-3 heading to the bottom of the 5th.

That's it for my updates, going to get pregame drinks before the basketball game.

GO SHOX!!!

[Cdizzle]

Shox put up one more in the 6th. Coleman leadoff dbl, stole 3rd, Hill sac fly.

Going to 7th, 5-3 Shox.

[RUShock75]

6-3 Shox Bottom of the 8th

[RUShock75]

6-3 going to the 9th. Shox better start hitting the ball better before the weekend.

[haysdb]

Agreed. Coleman, Weber, and Lassley are swinging it well, but our top 4 guys haven't found their strokes yet.

[WyoWu]

12 K's in 8 innings is not good. We better find a little plate discipline or it could be a long weekend.

Plate Discipline

'Just goes to show how valuable the 2 makeup games were this week with NW Iowa & Emporia State & how valuable in the future it will be to have an indoor facility completed here. I was one of the 1st 50 to give for the facility last summer. I hope a lot more of you are joining in, too!

This is not at all suprising. WSU having to rely on its pitching to win games. This has been the trend it seems for the past 4 or 5 years. But as they say, good pitching beats good hitting.

Its very early in the season and the players have been hitting off of pitching machines for the past 3-4 months. More live pitching, the quicker they'll get their hitting eyes back. The hitting will come around, just give it a few games. I'd go as far as to say most of the hitters haven't really seen a live curveball, or many off-speed pitches at all, since the fall outdoor season.
