2 RBI single by Hollis and a long…long 3 run blast by Scheiner. 16-3. Still no one out.
Coogs have batted around in the 7th, still no outs.
In other words…good pitching or poor hitting? That’s the nub. I go for the hitting side…we are inconsistent, and it is up to the coaches to figure that out. And do something about it. Just my opinion after watching every game. It is the hitting or lack thereof that cost us games. I hope we make progress going forward, witnessing the innate talent each Coog player has at the plate…be calm, be consistent. Hit the ball, or go down trying.
Baylor pitchers threw 69 pitches in the 7th. That’s insane.
They should call it a game! What are the odds of baylor ever winning this one?
They should.
17-3 after Scheiner drives in Hollis. T8.
Triolo just popped one on the infield that no one wanted. Dropped in for a hit right behind the mound.
But going back to Coogs hitting…when we are leading they hit so well, and when they NEED to hit…so sad. Across the board…not just freshmen etc. What is the deal? The coaches need to address that. Very few times this season those hits come in, although there have been times when our season could have changed. As a coaching staff I would address that and try to do something about it. We showed we could hit Iowa pitchers (among other teams we have lost to), but not when it counted, despite the umps. Like I said, the same issue all season. Go Coogs! Coach, get a good hitting coach to work with your players!!! That is all we lack!
I agree!
Lightning delay in B9
They should have a new rule for regionals: Game is to be ended if one team is leading by at least
9 runs after 8 innings of play.
It appears that ESPN scoreboard/website has reported a 17-3 “final” score. Now they’ve updated it to “delayed.”
You can’t have a 14 run comeback without a 14 run deficit.
Could us Coogs actually get a “break”…they following their own rules in our favor? It would be one of the few times. The Coogs definitely earned this win, whatever they decide.
We want the win ASAP then let the weather give Iowa and A&M fits so they are up until 3am finishing their game.

Back home due to commitment tonight. We should wrap up 9th soon and hope tonight’s game gets serious rain delays and goes about 12 innings. See y’all tomorrow at 2.
