Maldonado in the ninth!

Let's hope so.

Noland has a lot of oppo-field power. It didn't even look like he hit it that hard.

Ump really extending the zone after Noland’s homer.

I hope he doesn’t shrink it in the bottom half.

That last pitch to Vastine was 8 inches high.

OK, defense. Need to retire them with 0 runs and call it a night. Nick in to do the job.

This team doesn't deserve to win.
9-9

Tied no outs on 2 hits and they got man on second so...

Both hits off Maldo were good pitches, down and away. Gotta give Louisville hitters credit for going with the pitches...unlike Vandy hitters.

We did not close the deal in the ninth.

A tough, but fieldable ball for the first hit. A dropped third strike on a tip keeps the next at-bat alive. Little things - neither of which will show in the box score.

A shame to fight all the way back and then give it back.

Extra innings: could have been worse, got out of jam.

I’m disappointed with the guys not protecting the plate in key late at bats. Watching strike three right down the middle in this situation is hard to forgive.

What ever happened to choking up an inch or so with 2 strikes and expanding the strike zone. We, on the other hand, are content to take a strike thigh high down the damn middle.

Need some hits, boys

Ump really squeezing Horn. Disappointing.

But Horn had some really good stuff. Got out of it.

Hard to watch after some of the strike calls Vastine and Bradfield just got.

Poor kid pitching for Louisville had deer-in-the-headlights look. Vandy has to take advantage of his wildness.

2 gift walks. Why no sacrifice?

And they don't...sigh

You’d think we’d have learned after Bama.

Not bunting - and k’ing costs us. Again.

It shouldn’t be that hard to do the fundamental things.

Yes sir.

In all honesty what is Corbs thinking tonight. No bunt, no new pitchers. Just roll the dice why not.

A couple games left every one matters now. I feel like we gave this one up earlier
