ManiacAlum Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Looks like there's a weather delay in Fort Worth? First pitch now set for 7:45 CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 TheEagleman watching the game live on ESPNU.....field is a disgrace....total quagmire in the outfield.....but ORU still hanging in down 1-0 in the 4th giving up an unearned run on a throwing error in the first....Howe pitching in and out of trouble...he won't go more than 5....throwing a ton of pitches so far....the TCU ace is good....but ORU battling....

ORUalum Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Howe pitched on nothing but guts tonight. That should be it for him. 5 innings and 104 pitches. he kept them in the game....need the bats to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 i really don't understand why Howe came out for the 6th......big time jam for McMinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I thought the same thing Alum. Seemed like he was done after 5. Oh well. Doesn't seem to be our night. Bases loaded and no runs really hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue82 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The 7-0 final score was not indicative of how the game was played. A couple more breaks go our way and it's a completely different story. Now we face some REAL adversity coming back to play 12 hours later. Big shout out to Trevin Sonnier for a couple of BIGTIME defensive plays at shortstop. Kept it from getting ugly early.

theeagleman5 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Two huge errors....poor decision by our coach to bring Howe out for another inning and no clutch hitting....but just not ORU's night...we hit some balls hard with men on base but nothing would drop.....so we have a quick turnaround in 12 hours to play the 2 seed Arizona State.....not gonna be easy....EXPECT A MIRACLE!.....

ORUalum Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 kind of like the last few weeks.....so many pop up and fly ball outs. was Rotola's line out to 3rd to start the game the hardest struck ball of the night? they could just never seem to get comfortable at the plate against the 6'7" starter for TCU. they will need the bats to heat up, or it's cue the Kenny Smith "Gone Fishing" photoshop.

EagleManiac Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Gotta get some offense going. Three hits, but can't string anything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleManiac Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 They really threatened in the 8th and 9th. Just couldn't put any runs across the plate. Impressive outting from their little pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Second year in a row we have been less than impressive in the "Big Dance". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
