#71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3

[TulaneTiger]

You would figure ECU has to lose a couple of games somewhere along the line. They've already played multiple one-run games.

If we can take care of business the next couple of weekends against Memphis and Houston, we could be in position to fight for the regular season crown in the American.

[Man in Green]

Score?

[TulaneTiger]

7-4 Tulane in the 5th.

[tjtlja]

I know they are missing their best hitter and we didn’t face their best pitcher, but I really think this shows how bad Houston is.

So you're saying we'll lose 3 of 4 to them?

Classic overthinker. Lol!

This is the best hitting catcher we have had since a certain kid out of Texas.

NJ, thank you for the kind words my friend. Not doing that bad in the local softball leagues either.

Lee can really rake. And only a freshman. He really has plate discipline beyond his years. I must admit this damn transfer thing has crossed my mind with him.

[Roller]

Score?

Wave up, 7-4, batting in the 5th with 1 out, runners on the corners.

[waverider]

The offense has really woken up since conference play started. It's great to see.

Jewett’s plan all along. Give that man an extension

Score?

And Stevens draws a walk to load the bases. WSU goes to the pen.

The law of averages tells you they will lose, and perhaps swept by that team in Néw Orleans. But if there was ever a year to go undefeated, this is the year. The league is bad - no, terrible. Our entire season will hinge on those four games. We win three and were in. Let’s just pray it isn’t drizzling.

My Apple tv isn’t picking up the game. Usually works fine. Switching to radio.

We are getting the outfielder from Jesuit Tampa who is supposed to be a better hitter than Lee. He’s supposedly coming because he and Lee were best friends. That should keep Lee around. Lee, like Michael Pratt, only looked at Ivy League schools before committing to Tulane so education seems high on his list.

[Roller]

After 5:
WSU : 4- 4-0 (6)
TULa: 7-10-1 (5)

We should expect to win every time Olthoff pitches. Take one of the other three games and split the series. Even that would go a long way for our chances at a regular season title and the postseason.

Rally killing bases loaded DP.

If nothing else, finish second and play on the opposite side of ECU in the AAC tournament. Win the tourney and get the auto bid.

We’d have to do a lot better than splitting the rest of the series to get into the postseason.
20 games left after this. We probably need to win 15

[NJwave]

This feels like we are up 10 runs and aren’t. Need to keep scoring.

Well yeah. I'm saying we would take a split with ECU. We need to go 7-1 against Memphis and Houston.

[TulaneTiger]

He beat the ball, but he hits the bag with his knee. He should be out. No way they have enough evidence to overturn.

[NJwave]

I know they are missing their best hitter and we didn’t face their best pitcher, but I really think this shows how bad Houston is.

So you're saying we'll lose 3 of 4 to them?

Doesn’t have his power but perhaps that will come as he gets older.

Curious as to what you thoughts on Hoffman pitching today. I thought it put his health at risk and others don’t since he didn’t throw a lot of pitches yesterday.

[waverider]

Overturned. Tying run at the plate with no outs

[TulaneTiger]

I don't see how they overturned that, unless they just did because he beat the ball by so much.

We keep letting Wichita back into this game with our defense.

[visualmagic]

I don’t see us splitting with ECU at their place

[NJwave]

We just can’t put this one away.

[waverider]

Sac fly makes it 7-6 Tulane

2 runs on no hits. We head to the bottom of the 6th

[TulaneTiger]

Wichita got 2 runs on 1 hit last inning, and 2 runs on 0 hits this inning.

We are letting them stay in this.
