The two consecutive strikes, a ball, and a strikeout.

Roper looking good. (Graf used the word, "brilliant")

2 outs on 5 pitches, then a 7-pitch walk.

It's a 1-1 count with a man on 1st and 2 outs... (t-1)

3 unassisted.

Now we get to see how our batters fare against unfamiliar pitchers.

After 1, there's no score.

[Roller]

Jensen (1b), Hoese (3b), and Artigues (2b) demonstrate their prowess in an easy T2.

Jensen, Matthews, and Artigues coming to bat in B2.

[Roller]

T3, no score.

Our batters need to get the sticks working, but then again, I presume there's a reason why Nate Woods is their Friday starter.

[Roller]

B3, 0-0

BTW, Koby Owen returns to the lineup in CF tonight.

K in first AB

WP gets Bedgood to second, with 1 away.

Then he goes to 3rd on a grounder to 2b. (now 2 away)

Strike'em out, throw'em out and Tulane's 5th comes to an end.To the 6th, still 1-0.

[Roller]

New rule this year: visits to the mound are limited to SIX! And that counts catchers and infielders as well as coaches. Pitching changes do not count as a visit.
