I'm going to be drunk and out of beer money before the 5th inning at this rate...

[shockfan89_]

Maybe we should just bunt everybody! Three straight bunts give us 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the bottom of the 2nd.

Mucha with a sac fly to left. Shox lead 3-2 bottom of 2nd with two outs and a runner on third.

Ridder with a two out RBI. Shox up 4-2 still two outs bottom of 2

The Shocks are not exactly tearing the cover off the ball but I hope they are finding out that if you at least put the ball in play you greatly improve your chances of something good happening. Only 2 strike outs today. I like the 6 stolen bases today although not sure if that's indicative of being more aggressive or UND just not being very good at controlling the running game.

7 walks and 4 HBP by UND isn't hurting the Shocks cause any.

Shocks lead 9-2 in the 5th. Bases loaded and no outs for the Shocks.

North Dakota must be awful

Checking in from Dayton... Our bats are alive?

[1972Shocker]

Greyson Jenista gets his first collegiate home run, a 3-run rocket to right center.

Shocks have now scored in each of the fist 6 innings: 2+2+2+1+4+5 = 16 - North Dakota 3 in the bottom of the 6th.

Not tearing the cover off the ball (until Greyson Jenista's homer) but putting the ball in play. 3 strike outs in 6 innings. Shocks have 6 stolen bases. UND pitchers have also been in a charitable mood with 10 walks and 4 hit batters.

Probably a feel good game for the players although not sure one can read too much into this other than we are not the worst team in D-1 baseball.

[1972Shocker]

Robby Evans comes into pitch the 8th inning with a 16-3 lead. He did manage a scoreless inning but he walked 3, struck out 2 and took 31 pitches to get through the inning. Brett must be losing his mind.

I'm just glad we won.Now if we can win a road game this season.
