Carter Henry on for Hurdsman
Leadoff single. 1-out 4-pitch walk. Single to right, Bielo throws the runner out at the plate. Runners on the corners with 2 outs. Lineout ends the inning
M7…Tied 4-4
0-2 and again, our guy goes with a fastball right down the middle. It’s like they aren’t taught or don’t understand the nuances of being ahead in a count. This has been a problem for the past few years.

Man, Henry threw that 0-2 pitch right down the middle to the 1st batter
I have to assume he did not hit his spot. If he did and that was the plan, we have BIG problems
Just can’t run on Bielo. Coog defense saving them today.

As good an arm in RF as we’ve had the last 15+ years.
The throws in Clearwater were unbelievable

Leadoff infield single by Lovelace. Bielo bunts, but they’re able to get Lovelace at 2nd. Padgett reaches on an E4, Bielo to 3rd. Padgett steals 2nd. Triolo intentionally walked to load the bases with 1 out. That’s it for Cheaney…Purdue goes to the pen and brings on their All-American Closer, Ross Learnard.
Double play ends the inning.
T8…Tied 4-4
Not saying he won’t get us out of the inning, but I’ll take my chances against a closer who averages under 1 K per inning.
We’ll see

And that’s why you don’t take 2nd when you have your best hitter at the plate.

Felt that was a good situation to try a squeeze. 4th double play today in 7 innings.
