We did what we had to do. Good job Dawgs. Thanks to Sim for keeing the rotation intact and using Lorio at the end of games. If Burnett can get going we may be in the race for first.

Tech salvages the series, but 3-3 is not the WAC start Tech needed. A sweep at home in two weeks against New Mexico State is almost a must now with 12 of the last 15 WAC games on the road.
RC you are so right. Tech needs to get to 17- 7 in the WAC. That means a finish of 14 - 4 and will be next to impossible without sweeping NMSt. Not gettin 2 out of 3 from Sac St. is hole I hope we can overcome.
[quote=RealityCheck;461971]Fresno out in order with 2 Lorio Ks in the 8th.
Cobb leads off the 8th with a single...Tech's 13th hit. 10 men LOB through 7...too many.
Hudson bunts Cobb up to second. 1 out.
Kersten walks...Rike up with men at 1st and 2nd 1 out.
Rike 3 run HR to right...Tech up 8-5...HR #15 and the second HR of the day for Rike.
Give that pro scout a towel. He's drooling all over himself.
Good win dawgs, going to have to toughen up for the rest of the conference schedule.
it was so awesome watching Rike hit that three run homer to bring in the winning runs...believe it or not, but the crowd seemed semi-interested today.
I still say this team needs to just take one game at a time and worry about HAVING a winning season in conference -
Everything else will take care of itself -
Folks are missing something special by not catching Rike - who is just super HOT right now -
And having Jericho behind Rike does help Rike - he is getting alot of quality looks and to his credit he is taking advantage of the looks -
Took 2 out of 3 from a very solid team this weekend - they had the best looking defense up the middle that I have seen this year - both their SS & 2nd baseman got to balls that most guys would have just whiffed at - it is kind of ironic that the play that turned today's game was on a routine DP ball -
Key to the last TWO games was not putting men on base via free passes -
Keep the walks to a minimum and most times, this team will score enough to win 2 out of 3 on most weekends -
