Funny that teams keep running on our corner outfield arms. Way throws out another at the plate

Bottom 5th

With 1 out, single, single, intentional walk after a wild pitch moves the runner to 2nd, single…Memphis leads 4-0

Single scores 2 more…Memphis leads 6-0

That’s all she wrote for Lockhart…Roedahl comes on

Squeeze which Roedahl can’t handle, runner scores. Men at 1st/2nd still one out…Memphis leads 7-0

2 flyouts end the inning

T6…Memphis leads 7-0

A little late on pulling Lockhart. You could tell He was losing it.

New pitcher for Memphis.

  • Hyland flies out to right
  • Thomas walks
  • Burckel walks, Thomas to 2nd
  • Etzel Ks
  • Padgett pops out to SS

Ball Game. Coogs lose 7-3

Hyland gets a 2 and 0 count and pops it up we need base runners not to smart especially with a 220 hitter
