Vandy-Clemson Saturday NCAA

[roanoke]

Wow - we turn a line-out double play to get out of the fourth. Nice play - and positioning - by Kaiser. He corrals a laser and steps on second.

hbp, errors on double play balls.

Not a playbook for success against a good team. But I like that we got through it.

[BWestbrook]

Let’s get some runs and get to their pen!!!!

[charlestonalum]

we dodged a bullet - hit batter but we get 'em out still 3-3

TOP OF THE 4TH LEADING OFF FOR CLEMSON SAM HALL GROUNDS OUT TO SECOND FOR OUT 1. CROMWELL GETS HIT BY PITCH BY KING. DAVIDSON UP AFTER GETTING ABOARD HIS FIRST TWO TIMES UP BATTING FROM THE RIGHT THIS TIME GETS ON BY GROUNDING TO 3RD AND BOBBLED THE BALL AND HIS THROW PULLS INFANTE OFF 1ST TO GET ABOARD. SETH BEER WITH MEN ON 1ST AND 2ND 1 OUT LINES OUT TO KAISER FOR AN UNASSISTED DOUBLE PLAY AT 2ND. END TOP OF THE 4TH STILL TIED AT 3

[BWestbrook]

Paul hit again and we’re into their pen.

[roanoke]

Ironic - Clemson's pitcher was just starting to get his curve working - but he hit Paul again & Clemson's coach yanks him.

I guess we are not the only ones tired of gift bases - but it seemed a bit rash when Clemson did it.

Clemson's pitcher is supposed to be really good - we got lucky to catch him on a night when his curve was sloppy.

[charlestonalum]

new pitcher for then with 1 out and 1 on - freshman pitcher

[roanoke]

Again, swinging early in the count.

I wish we would make opposing pitchers throw more strikes....

[charlestonalum]

ugh, frosh gets out of the minor jam with 2 quick outs and only 5 pitches

[charlestonalum]

Raby in for us - what is Corbin thinking?

[BWestbrook]

Why? It’s tied now just like at the start so why bring him in?????

[Vufamily]

Hope this pitching change doesn't come back to hurt. Come on Raby

[charlestonalum]

[BWestbrook]

Need a hit here from JJ

[charlestonalum]

another trip to the pen for Clemson and we have no outs and man on 2nd with double.

[Vufamily]

JJ does a good job moving him over

[charlestonalum]

4-3 good guys - defense and pitching can win this but Clemson can get runs in bunches
