The Polish Rifle

Allowed 19 hits and we stuck out 16 times, and we win by 3. Strange game but we will take it.

That would qualify as getting their heads out of their asses, correct. 27 hits through 7+ is pretty wild for 2 teams whose strength has been pitching. Gelo has been playing at an all-American level this past couple weeks.

Did not expect offense to carry the day.

Well hopefully we can remove our heads from our asses soon. Seen this movie before.

Also 52 BB/HBP in 72 innings. Patience will be key against him. Work the count. Get to those (albeit robust) righties in the pen.

Our current 1st base coach was 2005 tournament MVP at Bricktown. He had 7 straight ABs with hits, Nebraska dropped game one then reeled off 5 straight wins to get the title.

Another interesting fact. We're 6-7 against top 50 teams since the start of April. UConn is 0-3. Think we're coming in a lot more tournament ready than they are.

Also if we lose to Yale and Harvard in Back 2 Back regional appearances, ill lose my mind.

Correct. Lubbock Super if TT wins their regional.

UCONN - Great Bullpen Okay Bats, little power, good speed We will get their Ace, whose a Lefty, All-American last year, Decent this year, Control seems to be his issue. We will probably need to beat them in a low scoring affair.

Were the 3 seed but I love the draw...

Last two weeks this team put themselves in awesome position for today. Think we will get a 2, and not all 3 and 1 seeds are made equally. Probably want to avoid a Clemson or a Florida as a 3, they both have won 20+ games against quad 1 & 2 games. I think you want to avoid Vandy and UCLA because those teams are absolute juggernauts. All and all if we take care of work against the 4 seed, and play competitive against the 3 & 1 seed - hopefully win a game against a 3 seed - gonna be hard to be disappointed with this team.

ECU or Morgantown please.

Can’t see them leave UM out. UM is the most Bubbly team in the B1G. 41 wins and top 40 RPI should have them in.

Happy with getting as far as we did. OSU was the better team today.

I’ll be honest, thus far the team that deserves to win is winning. Pitching from both teams has been amazing, they’ve squared up the ball much better. Like I said earlier we can’t let 2 guys who are on short rest go 9 full. It’s obvious OSU doesn’t trust anyone else.

OSU was comfortable with 2 guys for this title. 2 guys ruining on fumes. We just haven’t made them work enough to win this game. Can’t let those 2 guys go 8-9 innings on short rest.

Bats aren’t there today. Haven’t had good contact all day. 5 outs to find it.

Wow, can’t strike out there.

This crowd is ready to erupt

8 pitches 4 outs

OSU doing a much much much better job of putting pressure on our pitching and defense. We’re letting Smith coast. Something needs to change. Shouldn’t get skunked this late in the tournament.

Safe at Home. Damnit

Man 7 pitch inning isn’t what the doctor ordered.

Need to keep it close and keep making Smith throw pitches. Their BP is on fumes.
