Turn The Redbirds Blue - Game 1

[1972Shocker]

Even though the Shocks have only hit one ball hard tonight and have very few hits, ILS has tried to give us this game. I believe we now have left 12 runners on base, including 9 of those in scoring position.

Good time for Ryan Engrav's 2nd home run of the year.

Oh so close! Not.

Yep. Watching strike 3 go by right down the middle wasn't really close at all.

[SekShocker]

Just a pathetic performance up to now, can anyone step up and get a big hit, they have two innings to do something and show some heart and want too. The only thing this team is consistent at is being inconsistent.

[Rosewood]

Wow, only ok pitching with horrible batting and bad defense.

This is hard to watch

Just a couple fun facts to throw out:

WSU is 81-15 all-time against Illinois State.
WSU is 47-5 all-time in Wichita against Illinois State.

The last time WSU lost to Illinois State in Wichita was in 1995 and it wasn't even in the regular season. It was in the Valley tourney.




I know. This is expected.

2009 = 2001.

It must be as you can just hear the frustration in MK's voice.

They're a young team so they probably haven't been able to mesh too well, but I've noticed little to no heart all year with this team. Little passion and just an overall apathetic attitude seems to be the rule of this team this year. Kinda sad and almost embarrassing.

Score and inning?

You don't wanna know.

ILS 4 - Shocks 1. Top of the 8th.

[SekShocker]

Hope this team is paying attention as Illinois State is giving them a clinic on get em over get em in, and cashing in on every mistake (and there have been plenty) the Shockers have made.

[Rosewood]

And Remmington comes in and looks bad to start with a 4 pitch walk. This is a very queer night.

Hard to listen to also, although I'm not sure Kelly giving up 2 earned runs over 7.2 innings is just OK pitching. That should win most games.

If you had been watching him, you would know it was OK. So many moves over and nervous picks and the like. Granted some of it is he is compared to himself but still.

He was OK -- he is also pitching against Ill State that bats as well as us :(

[1972Shocker]

Oh well, Shocks just setting us up for a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 9th?

It could happen! and no, I don't want to bet you on it.
