I checked in on the stat broadcast in the 8th, with Tech up 3-2. They let LR even it up 3-3 in the 9th.
Things were not looking great in the 12th when a pinch runner promptly got picked off at first for the 2nd out. But the next Tech batter got plunked by a pitch and took 1st.
Up comes Parker Bates, who was 0-for-6 on the night. Of course, he promptly nailed a a double into left.
The runner on 1st hauled it around the bases and got home safely (unlike a couple of runners last Sunday), and LR made a wild throw home that let Bates get to third. That triggered another LR throwing error, and hero Bates ran home to make it 5-3 Tech. They closed it out in the bottom of the 12th for the road win.
That was pretty exciting for watching a stat page update. Video of the final two runs is on the Diamond Dogs Twitter feed.
I agree with the coach's post-game comments that wins can't be taken for granted. Even the best teams--LSU is famous for it--often drop mid-week games to small schools. And LR is no community college; they have over 11,000 students.
