Shocker SB at Loyola

[1972Shocker]

INS-UNI heading into the bottom of the 7th with INS still leading 8-4.

The Shocks are now up 7-1 with 3 outs to get.

[1972Shocker]

UNI has scored 1, has runner on 1st and 2nd with no outs and the tying run coming to the plate. Sheesh.

[1972Shocker]

INS 8 - UNI 5 with the bases loaded and 2-outs for UNI in the bottom of the 7th.

[1972Shocker]

Loyola gets a lead off homer and now has loaded the bases with 1-out and the Shocks leading 7-2. Can either of these games end?

[1972Shocker]

Indiana State gets a force out at home to end the game with an 8-5 win over UNI.

Now the Shocks need to hold on at Loyola to take 3rd place.

[1972Shocker]

Another base hit by Loyola makes it 7-3 with the bases still loaded and the trying run coming to the plate.

Jenni Brooks coming into try to finish the game off. Hopefully, HCKB didn't stay with Katie too long.

7-4 ugh. Can't get out of this inning. Bases still loaded. Loyola playing station to station.

[WuDrWu]

7-5 on a FC. 2 out 2 on. A base hit might tie it here.

[WuDrWu]

7-7.

[1972Shocker]

Unbelievable. Loyola has tied the score at with a 6-run 7th inning.

[WuDrWu]

Live stats says it's a final tie at 7. No idea what is really happening.

[WuDrWu]

On to the 8th. None on and 1 out for the Shocks.
2 out.
3 out.

On to the bottom of the 8th.

[1972Shocker]

I suppose it doesn't make a lot of difference whether the Shocks finish 3rd or 4th. The real issue is our pitching. It has really been inconsistent this year. Just never know what we are going to get. If we pitch in the Valley Tournament like we pitched this weekend I don't see us going anywhere.

Aren't we 3rd if we win and 4th if we lose at this point? Looks like 4th to me.

Aren't we 3rd if we win and 4th if we lose at this point?

I think so.
