Through 7 complete innings-

ODU: 2 runs, 8 hits, 0 errors
T8- A BASE HIT FOR LOUISIANA TECH (Jon W)!!!! Strike out. Matt Holcomb to pinch hit (his first CUSA at bat this year). Fielder's choice puts Jon W out at 2nd- two away. Skelton with an easy comeback to the pitcher, but the pitcher overthrows first base. Runners at 2/3 on the error. Diaz HBP to load the bases. Jordan W grounds out to strand the bases loaded. The ODU pitcher Adam Bainbridge talks crap to Washam as he outruns him to first base and the Dawgs pile out of the dugout, but the umpires settle it down. Still 2-0 ODU
B8- Freshman lefty Griffen strikes out lead batter. Griffen gets another strike out. Single.
What just happened? I left for just a second, and now, it's the bottom of the 8th...
T9- This is our last chance to score a run today. Ullrich gets our 2nd hit of the day! DOUBLE BY MARSHALL BOGGS! The Dawgs got really PISSED OFF after Bainbridge rubbed it in to end the 8th! RBI single by Lunceford!!!!! Jon W hits into a double play, but gets the RBI to tie the game. Gladu flies out.
Runners 2-3 0 out!
Lunsford with a RBI single. ODU 2-1...no outs runners 1-3
hmm... I say go for the tie with no outs.
Tie game - 2 outs after a double play and run scored.
And thats what they do! Good job. Too bad there was a double play.
B9- Griffen had a beautiful third strike called a ball! And the batter gets a hit next pitch. Pitching change. Matt Miller enters. Hit straight to Skelton, but he bobbles the ball for our 3rd error. Next play is a double play. Two out with ODU runner on 3rd and the ODU coaches are out of the dugout to argue the DP.
Our 4th error of the game wins it for ODU. We are being 'overcome by the elements' with horrible mental focus on execution.
