Shocker Host Illinois State (3 Game Series)

[Play Angry]

Lewis battling a flu bug, we'll see how far he goes.

Boyer loops a 2 out single to score Croft and tie it up. Jackson then reaches on an error by the 2B and Ritter scores to grab a 2-1 lead.

On to the 3rd.

Bases loaded and no out for the Shocks in the 3rd. Shocks need to get at the very least 2 runs out of this.

DeBacker singles in two runs. 4-1 Shox.

It wasn't looking good, then DeBacker hit a 2-run, 2-out single to score 2.

Not sure I can say well done, but at least they got it done. A little bit is better than nada...

[Play Angry]

Nice effort from Lewis so far, especially considering he's been under the weather.

4-1 to B4.

[Play Angry]

Bases juiced with nobody out again in the 5th for WSU. DeBacker up.

Time to blow it open.

DeBacker promptly hits a 150 foot pop out to CF.

[Play Angry]

RBI walk for Boyer, then an RBI ground out to short by Alex Jackson puts the Shocks up 6-1.

[Play Angry]

3 run bomb by Jenista breaks it wide open, 9-1 now.

[1972Shocker]

Run rule is now in play in this one.

[Play Angry]

Now 11-1. Good start to the series against one of the worst ISUr teams I've ever seen.

How bad is ISUr?

How bad is ISUr?

I assume that is mostly rhetorical but Boyd's World has them at 269 in its ISR out of 299 teams. WarrenNolan has them at 280 in his NPI system.
