He's either totally fooling them or he is being hit hard and more often than not hit a long way.

Burroughs has ridden that horse too long and too hard and is about to have to put him down.

The past month Crigger throws a strike with two strikes and good hitters protecting the plate say THANK YOU!

Dornak continues.

Myers doubles to the wall in right. AD wasn't clean coming out of the box.
Lancaster flies to right. No advance.
McLeod grounds to the pitcher. Myers moves to third.
Elliott walks. Nice at-bat to keep the inning alive.
Young walks to load the bases on ball five.
Visit to the mound.
Matulia grounds to first.

Air Force 9-7 after 8.

Well Air Force got to 8 first so it’s looking really grim now. Fingers crossed we’ve got enough left to finish strong

Those 3 LOBs hurt. Needed one at a minimum there.

Dang it. How many LOB for us this tournament?

Just 7 today including those last 3. 13 last night.

Crigger continues.

Tamiya soft single to right. Cue shot.
Joe foul bunt strikeout. #4.
Kulasingam doubles to the wall in left center. Runners at second and third.
Visit from Fouts.
Covin grounds to Elliott who cuts down the runner trying to score. Runners at first and third.
Garcia grounds to Young.

Air Force 9-7 after 8 1/2.

It’s apparent that little grounders are far more helpful to the outcome of winning a game than high fly warning track fly ball outs.

The guy on 3rd got there on the 2nd out sacrifice. The next two walked. Blame it on #12 for not getting a hit. I know…it’s easier to just throw out the LOB thing.

It’s hard to imagine Air Force having a better pitching staff than Tech and better clutch hitters too.

Or you could blame one of the two guys left stranded because they walked rather than getting a hit. :icon_roll:
