VU vs MSU #2

[Vufamily]

Warm up quick Reilly

[fldore]

That may be all the runs they need. Cmon bats

[OldDude]

Could have been much worse. Little battled ,now we have to show some offense.

[Vufamily]

Good comeback by Little. Hope that gives him some confidence

[commadore]

Now Little is trying to be too careful.

[OldDude]

Wow. CJ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roanoke]

CJ answers with a solo shot. 1-1.

An answer was really important there.

Harding is throwing 87-88.

[EagleDore]

Rodriguez comes alive...please spark others!

[fldore]

Didn't see that! He isn't throwing many pitches. We'll have to chase him out of the game

[roanoke]

Little nibbling a bit. And not getting many calls. I am not saying the zone is bad - he is close on a bunch.

He needs to keep the ball down. But the strike zone is not charitable down.

[OldDude]

Guys giving Little some D help.

[roanoke]

We survive the second - despite a loud double.

Little has good stuff so far. The ball is carrying.

[roanoke]

This guy Hardingis throwing really in rhythm. We need to get him out of rhythm.

[roanoke]

Thomas swings at a high 3-1 pitch when Harding is struggling. I hate that. Pop out.

Again, we need baserunners. We need to make him throw strikes. Not bail him out.

[roanoke]

Gonzo gets five balls and a walk. MSU really playing in against the bunt. I'd love to see Bradfield slap one through.

But instead he tries to elevate it and hits a fly out.

Young grounds out.

I guess if there is a positive to that inning - Harding had less command that inning. All three outs were on contact.

[baseball1234]

This pitcher has lost command...need to jump on him.

[wbl]

Need some runs for Little.

[OldDude]

Damn errors

[roanoke]

Are you kidding me? Another lousy fielding play. Ball gets stuck in Young's mitt for a gift lead-off runner. Little has to be pissed.

[Vufamily]

When you have an emotional pitcher, it sometimes puts extra pressure on the defense behind him. As a result, errors can happen at a more prevalent rate.
