Groff BB

[1309th WAVE]

Groff steals 2nd

[Roller]

I hope their catcher continues to have problems hanging on to this pitcher. We would welcome a few wild pitches/passed balls.

As I type, he catches one right down the pipe, jumps up, and fires it to 2B, but not in time to catch Groff who got the steal.

[1309th WAVE]

Burns BB

they're having a tete-a-tete on the mound

[Roller]

Come on, Ken. Stop referring to them as "Louisiana." That is an affront to my Alma Mater!

[Roller]

And there's the WP I was expecting...

[noladave]

how frustrated is the ULL coach, to have your starting pitcher give up 2 walks in the game, after being spotted a 1 run lead...

[1309th WAVE]

Wild pitch, Groff to 3rd

In years past we resemble this remark

true dat

[Roller]

And there's the WP I was expecting...

And another...

[noladave]

YES!! both walks score!

[tulaneoutlaw]

This umpire does not have a consistent strike zone. Thankfully he has called mostly balls but some of the called strikes were not any different than called balls. Good to manufacture a couple of runs, let's do 3 up 3 down

[Roller]

After 1:
ULaL 1-3-0 (2)
TULa 2-0-0 (1)

Angel 30 pitches
Benoit 26 pitches
