Shox load the bases with nobody out and follow that up with an infield popup and a strikeout. Then Hilliard flied out. Kihle is a friggin' strikeout machine.

K's
It's interesting that all of the myriad kinds of stats that are kept track of for baseball, that on Go Shockers for baseball, there is not a column for strikeouts. Either that, or even though I have gone through them with a fine tooth comb, I don't see a column for K's or under any other kind of a heading. Btw, I assume that the game is under a rain delay with the Shocks leading 6-2 in the bottom of the 5th inning with 2 outs. 1330 AM radio is not covering the game now.Comment

There are strikeout stats for each hitter on goshockers. It is the stat labelled "so" that follows walks and hit by pitch in the season stats.Originally posted by xazshox View Post"Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

Good restart. 2-out, 2-run rbi single by Ryan Tinkham. Shocks lead 8-2 in the bottom of the 5th.Comment

Biechler almost always allows inherited runners to score.I pull out my hair every time he comes in during an inning with runners on.Comment

Another bullpen implosion in progress.Comment

Shocks escape the 8th inning after giving up 5 runs with a 1-run lead still intact at 8-7.
The Shocks were very, very lucky as the inning ended with runners on 1st and 2nd and only 1 out on a lined drive to Rader at 3rd who doubled off Kaczmarksi at 2B.Comment

Great job by the bottom of the order in the bottom of the 8th. Bob Arens walked to lead off the inning but Tanner Dearman failed to bet the Sac Bunt down and struck out. Chase Rader followed with another strike out and Arens was stills standing at 1B with 2 outs. However, Mikel Mucha, Tanner Kirk and Trey Vickers delivered 3 consecutive singles from the 7, 8 and 9 holes to plate a couple of insurance runs.
Shocks lead 10-7 after 8 complete.Comment

John Hayes gets through the 9th after giving up a lead off single with a 9-6 force out at 2B then a more traditional 4-6-3 double play.
Shocks 10 - Evansville 7. Shocks have now won 7 of their last 10.
These last two wins haven't been very pretty but they count all the same.Last edited by 1972Shocker; May 9, 2015, 06:03 PM.Comment

7 of 10 is very interesting. Especially since those 7, while not amazing, have been decent to good teams, and the 3 were on the road at a Top 15.Originally posted by 1972Shocker
The last two wins haven't been pretty...BUT...the starting pitching in the last 3 has been WAY better, and the offense is there right now. That bullpen though. Just, wow.Comment

Brent not happy that the bullpen couldn't finish off the game with an 8-2 lead without forcing them to use John Hayes again today. If they had then John would have been available tomorrow. Now he is spent for the weekend and will not be able to pitch tomorrow.Comment

The progress these last 3 weeks or so has been nice. For the first two months of the season, our winning percentage was ~.350 and were every bit as bad as our RPI, which was hovering near 200. Over the last ten games, we have played .700 ball against foes whose lowest RPI was 102 (New Mexico). In all but our very best years, that is good baseball. It took much longer to get there than many of us expected, but at least it is happening. I just hope the progress is not a mirage and that we can keep playing well down the stretch.Comment

There seems to be a little glimmer of hope. Hopefully they can continue to finish strong.Comment
