Shockers Host #29 Dallas Baptist

[1972Shocker]

In the last few innings DBU is getting their hits leading off innings and the Shocks are getting their hits with 2 outs.

[1972Shocker]

Zach Lewis walks the lead off batter in the 7th inning on 4 straight pitches. I was actually surprised to see Zach come out for the 6th because DBU has been getting much better swings against him. Brent makes a visit to the mound but no relievers are ready at this point.

[1972Shocker]

Chase Rader whiffs on what could of and should of have been a double play ball. Shocks reverting back to form. Rader charged with an error.

Now they turn it over to the bullpen. Reagan Biechler is on.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks totally misplay the sacrifice bunt. Troutwine fielded the bunt cleanly but Biechler got in his way. Troutwine double clutched and then threw the ball into RF when he had no shot at the getting the runner.

Game tied and DBU has runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Now Butler goes to Chase Williams who should have been in the game to start the 7th.

[1972Shocker]

Chase Williams gets two K's and a weak 4-3 ground out to get the Shocks out of the 7th still tied.

Chalk up the tying run in the 7th the HCTB's lack of BBIQ and the weak defense by the Shocks.

[1972Shocker]

For the 2nd inning in a row walk comes around to score.

DBU leads 5-4 heading into the bottom half of the 8th.

[shocker22]

Great call on the hit and run...what a joke.

Also our 3b coach is brutal.

[1972Shocker]

Trey Vickers walked to lead off the 7th and Greyson Jenista lead off the 8th with a walk.

In the 7th Travis Young made a very nice sac bunt almost beating it out but Shocks could not come up with needed base hit.

In the 8th Troutwine failed to advance the runner flying out to RF and Jenista is thrown out at 2nd when Chase Rader swings and misses on a hit and run. Rader then strikes out to end the inning.

Big John, Big bad John...

Final: DBU 5 - WSU 4.

DBU clinches the Valley regular season title.

A game the Shocks could have won and probably a game a more refined team would have won. Not of any great significance that they lost. They played well for the 1st half of the game but could not sustain it.

"Son of a Biscuit Eater!!"

[ShockerFever]

Looking good early but can they sustain it.

No.

We will for sure finish under .500 in the MVC. For the 2nd year in a row...

Chase Williams gets two K's and a weak 4-3 ground out to get the Shocks out of the 7th still tied.

Chalk up the tying run in the 7th the HCTB's lack of BBIQ and the weak defense by the Shocks.

This has happened too often this season. HCTB is becoming infamous for trying to get one more inning out of a starter or one more out out of a reliever.

[1972Shocker]

1 more loss will lock the Shocks into no better than the 6th seed in the Valley Tournament. They could still finish as the 7th seed as well but either way they will be in bracket opposite of DBU with 1 more loss. 1 more win by Bradley and Evansville would have the same effect.
