Agreed. Been a couple of questionable strike calls tonight.
And now Fletcher gets squeezed a bit on the 1st batter in the next inning.
Bottom 7th
Fletcher gives up a walk and a sac bunt to end his night. Henry on to replace him.

1 out single by Lockhart and a 2 out single by Hollis put runners on 1st and 2nd. Davis up. MSU changes pitchers.

Why take your foot off the bag
Great
Bottom 8th
1 out single. Coogs can’t turn the double play and it bites them as a 2 out double ties it up.
T9…Tied 2-2
MSU ties with double but celebrating batter trots into third and is tagged out standing. What a bonehead play.

M9…Tied 2-2
To someone not familiar with MMP, I can see why he thought it was a HR.
Watching the replay, I agree, but you still need to be watching your third base coach.
Failed safety (?) squeeze and pop up and we waste a great opportunity.
They bunted with three straight batters…that strategy perplexes me. Let your guys swing the bat.

Just can’t get zero contact there… was not a good bunt attempt.
They all hit ~.200, and strike out as a ridiculous rate. Bunting is probably the right call, except when they whiff and hang our guy out to dry.
You have no speed at 3rd and a tall outfielder trying to,squeeze. I guess we were trying to surprise them.
Bottom 9th
Henry retires the side easily
