Just not getting the low strike.
Little is battling.

First and second nobody out. Webb ball, Ball in the dirt advance. Walk. Now we have a critical at-bat.

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.
So not only is Little immature but all the errors that happen behind him are his fault too. You guys are killing me. I think he is doing a great job despite the lack of help from his defense.

Ump is screwing Little now. Not giving him anything.

Our coaches tend to keep struggling pitchers in too long. What it indicates is a lack of confidence or depth in the bullpen.

Unbelievably dumb to expect Little to pitch his way out of that situation. That run is on our coaches.

This is ugly. And bringing in Reilly to a bases loaded no out situation is a rough call.
The size of the lead matters. If MSU hangs a big number, they will save their staff.

Yeah, got to call bovine feces on that one too.

I am surprised the announcers have not even mentioned how many close pitches Little did not get. "unhelpful strike zone."

If we can escape only down 2 or 3 runs after this inning could be huge

Error and a bases loaded walk cost us another run. We're really hurting ourselves.

For what it's worth, has to be an error on Young.
He did not make the play for whatever reason.

Potential double play ball hits Reilly's foot and caroms for a two run single. 4-1. Still no one out.

Baseball gods taking a massive deuce on us. Everything that can go wrong is going wrong.
Even this ridiculous foul ball / strike out that hit Cumbest
