Great game. Heart-breaker.
The Beavs almost pulled off a huge win last night, but couldn't get over the hump. Such a classic playoff game. Drama everywhere. When Mitch almost lost the game with two passed balls, but then came through to tie the game in the bottom of the inning. Or when Darwin smashed the home run right after Lissman had been called out for not touching second (should have been a two run HR and a game winning dang it). Or Stutes battling all game for one of his best performances and giving us a great chance to win. Such a good game. How could we not win?!
It's going to be a tough road to get back to having a chance to win this regional, but its possible with our pitching staff. Anton Maxwell, and Turpen could both start if necessary. And to win we need to go 5 games (beat Virginia twice). Sounds a bit like last season...
We play early this morning (10am) and hopefully we can win to get another shot at UVA.

That was a painful game to listen to. Bad as we want it, we didn't really deserve to win it with the passed balls, baserunning gaff, Darwin dropping a perfect through on a stolen base... The Beavs are doing their best for us but just didn't execute last night. We can still come back and move on if there's anything left in the tank after last night.
Yes it was. I just wish it was on TV!
I think the rain delay may help us a ton for today's game. Maybe not so much tomorrow, but after such a lat game a 1pm start the next day couldn't have helped.
At least we don't have to face an ace again!
