That's a GREAT comeback right there!
HBTD's!!!
Sparks won't get a save or win, but his 4 innings allowing just one run gave Tech the chance for the comeback.
If the midget behind the plate had been consistent our pitching and on base percentage would have been better. He was horrible. So was the first base guy on appeals.
The last called third strike was probably not a strike either, but at least that was consistent with him ringing Matulia up in the 8th.
He was most inconsistent on first pitch calls. He was so short he could not see over Corona and had always set up inside on a right hand batter. He set up directly behind the plate when we were batting
BYU jumps out to a 1-0 lead in game 2.
2-0 after McLeod boots a slow grounder. Might have been tough to get the runner at first, but that ball has to be fielded to keep the lead runner at third.
Tech game 2 lineup card.

Another fail of a quality start as BYU now up 7-0 in the 2nd.
This loss will be on the HC. We have a 270 pound guy batting in the 4 Hole…there’s your sign.
Mixing and matching lineups, how many games in before we know what we really have?
Burroughs ejected may help since he doesn’t actually coach anyway. He’s a dugout spectator and always has been.
There’s a lot to find wrong with this team right now. I don’t know why it is unless it’s just bad batting instructions but we fly out way, way, way too much. Second to that is that McLeod is not a shortstop. He plays too flatfooted and isn’t the leader we need at short. 1 error in all last year and what should be 2 this year already. Put him back at 3rd and move Bates to SS.
Burchfield is listed at 235. Is he heavier than that?
Burroughs was sick of watching the crappy play and even worse umpiring. Whatever this crew is getting paid is about five times more than than they have earned today.
Burroughs still going with a lineup based on a lefty or righty starter. Hasn't looked like it has mattered much so far.
Tech starting pitching has gone a combined 10 innings giving up 15 runs (11 ER, 9.90 ERA) and 21 hits with an opponent batting average of .412 (51 AB). Pathetic any way you cut it.
The 1-2 record Tech likely will have after this one actually flatters Tech.
BYU now up 8-0 in the 7th after another HR.
Tech responds with a run but leaves the bases loaded again.
