Wichita State vs Valparaiso (3 Game Series)

[LandStander]

Ugh, I haven't been to a baseball game forever but the biggest thing I'm noticing is the energy levels in the dugout. One team wants to win, the other...I'm not sure what they want...

[wyatt]

Another single for Valpo. Runners at 1st and 3rd now.

[wyatt]

Hecht gets out with no more damage. 2-3 bottom of 9. Why am I not feeling optimistic about our chances?

[wyatt]

Vickers ties it at 3 with a single! Glad I was wrong.

[Play Angry]

Shocks win 4-3.

Whew

[1972Shocker]

Shocks lucky to win that game but maybe that will get them going. Very good starting pitching from both starters. The bullpen work by both teams was pretty bad.

Getting several clutch hits in the 9th inning was big.

[LandStander]

Exciting game tonight. Can't wait to get back tomorrow

[wyatt]

Shocks lead 3-0 top of 5. Already have seven hits. Barnhouse has had a lot of base runners, but has gotten out of trouble.

[wyatt]

Valpo has the bases loaded with one out top of 5. HBP, double, and strike out reached on a passed ball.

[wyatt]

Throwing error on Boyer on a double play ball allows two runs to score. 3-2 with two outs. Inning over, 3-2, bottom of 5.

[wyatt]

Shocks get runners to 1st and 2nd with one out, but Jenista and Bohm both strike out. 3-2 going to the 6th.

[wyatt]

Barnhouse hits the lead off batter in the 6th. 4th batter he has hit. Shane says the four hit batters tied a Shocker record. Keller coming in.

[1979Shocker]

Barnhouse hits the lead off batter in the 6th. 4th batter he has hit. Shane says the four hit batters tied a Shocker record. Keller coming in.

So they're not leaving him in to see if he can break the record?

[wyatt]

Valpo reliever has retired eight Shocks in a row. Still 3-2, top of 8 with McGinniss coming in to pitch,
