CWS Vanderbilt vs. Stanford

[roanoke]

Kolwyck - pinch-hit single. 5-3.

He goes with the pitch and slaps a single.

[Levon]

We will capitalize on this opportunity I actually believe.

Nice call! And nice short, singles swing.

[roanoke]

Noland singles - 5-4. Again, going with the pitch.

Nice call! And nice short, singles swing.

Double nice call! And a nice short, singles swing again.

Need a shutdown inning....

We are down by 1 - can win this thing.

Man, those errors sure loom large.

No doubt. Only one Stanford hitter has done damage. Play good defense, focus on contact when hitting, and Vanderbilt will win this game.

Solid half inning. Cool double play

[Levon]

Vandy Boys playing a little pissed now...good. That DP was sweet. Stanford needs to beware, they've let the tiger escape.

Here we go.....

Safe

[roanoke]

Lead-off batter Vaz gets on base HBP.

Gonzo swings for the fences on the first one... we need a single here. With two strikes, Stanford changes pitchers. Brings in their game oner starter. I thought he looked hittable in game one. Here he is on short rest... Interesting. Tough for Gonzo, though, to see a new pitcher with two strikes already...

Dave van Horn panic move?

[roanoke]

Bradfield with a huge mental mistake. Costs us terribly dear.

Strike three rolls away... and Bradfield easily could get to first. Vaz gets to third. But Bradfield starts back to the dugout. It would have been first and third with one out.

Then Young k's. Man, we have made some terrible mental errors tonight. If we lose, we can only blame ourselves. Run on a missed strike three is drilled into your head from grade school.

Bradfield’s lapse in concentration was costly there. He would’ve beaten that throw had he taken off immediately. Let Stanford off the hook.

Yep, that hurt. Still a 1-run game, need 3 outs here.

[baseball1234]

Damn 2 out walk.....did a great job though.

[roanoke]

A four pitch walk to the replacement kid. McElvain was doing great before that. A single. And here comes Jones again.

Murphy time. I'm still suffering over the failure to run out the passed ball.
