Pacific at ORU

[theeagleman5]

U. of Pacific will be at JLJ for a 3 game set starting this afternoon and ending with a DH on Saturday.....Tigers are 4-4 and have lost 4 straight.....Good Guys are 6-2 and on a 5 game winning streak....looks like good weather today and tomorrow and this is a home series that ORU needs to win before heading out on a 6 game road trip.....Isaac Coffey should be on the mound today.....GO BLUE!!!  

[eagle88]

It would be nice to sweep the series and and be 9-2 going on the road. I am excited about this year's team. They seem very solid!

Top of the 3rd....nothing but goose eggs...

[ORUTerry]

ORU scores a run in the 3rd. After 4 innings it is still 1-0 Golden Eagles. 

Adam has Jeremy Hefner (pitching coach for the Mets/former ORU pitcher) on the broadcast with him 
 

[ORUTerry]

Grand slam in the 6th inning. ORU leads 6-0 and still batting.

Six in a row for the Good Guys....Caleb Denny with a slam leads the way in a 7-0 win over Pacific.....a combined 4 hit shutout for Isaac Coffey/6 inn and Kaleb McCullough/3 inn......ORU now 7-2 and will take on the Tigers in a DH tomorrow at JLJ....

In other Friday night results, NDSU pulls out a 5-4 come-from-behind upset win at 25th ranked Long Beach State. Very nice win for the Bizon and the Summit League.  Watched a bit of the game on ESPN+, and the NDSU starting pitcher was a crafty southpaw that kept the Dirtbags on their heels all night.

Second-ranked Ole Miss, ORU’s next weekend opponent, won a 8-7 nail-biter at UCF in their series opener.   ORU has a great opportunity for capturing some national attention next week in Oxford.

ORU rolling in game one today....up 14-2 thru 8 innings on 16 hits.....excellent pitching for Ledgend Smith who gave us 6 innings of 1 run/2 hit ball......looks like the Good Guys are headed to 7 in a row.....

[theeagleman5]

ORU finishes off Pacific 14-2....Caleb Denny with 2 hits including an HR and 4 RBI......Smith gets the win with 9 Ks and ORU now 8-2 as they head to the nightcap vs. the Tigers....

[theeagleman5]

ORU off to a great start in Game two with a 5 run 1st inning and now lead 6-2 in the home 4th....HRs by Loftin and Jones and Archambo has looked strong thru the first 12 outs with 7 Ks.......

[theeagleman5]

ORU plates another pair in the 4th on an RBI triple by A. Jones and it's now 8-2 as we head to the Pacific 5th.....

[Otis 83]

Reed Ronan looked strong in the top of the 6th in relief. Golden Eagles looking to add to their lead in the bottom of the frame. 
 

Am I the only one who had balls and strikes flipped in the graphic?

[theeagleman5]

Otis, my man!....no sir....the graphics have been a mess all day long....

[theeagleman5]

ORU piling it on in the home 7th....12-2 now and bases still loaded......it's been a loooooong day for U. of Pacific.....

[ORUTerry]

11 to 2 with one out and bases loaded in the bottom of the 7th. Change in pitchers for Pacific 

[Otis 83]

So I’m down in Galveston with the fam doing family things. So for the entire first game I was just following on live stats. Every time I checked in we had scored more runs. These boys just never seem to stop hitting.   

[theeagleman5]

ORU wins 15-3.....so a total of 29 runs today and 36 for the weekend.....very impressive......8 wins in a row and ORU now 9-2 on the season as we head to Wichita St. and Mississippi this week......

[TrueBlue82]

So, ORU just swept three games from Pacific by a combined score of 36-5.  This is the same Pacific team that swept a four-game season opening series from Summit member Northern Colorado, outscoring them 37-8.  That ORU-UNC series will be interesting, to say the least!
