Larry with a great play at 2nd diving back up the middle.

Run ends up scoring anyway.

VMI just putting the ball in play and good things are happening.

Larry should have had his foot on the base. The throw looked like it was on the bag and ahead of the runner.

VMI is a talented, competitive team out of a tough mid tier.... Wait one... Being told they were 16-40 in the SoCon last year and even though they have played since 1866, they have somehow never been to a regional.

Larry with the homer. He is the real deal.
It’s hard not to have mixed emotions with guys like him and Yeager. Happy that they decided to come to State and that they’ve produced, yet also a little mystified as to how transfers from Mercer and New Orleans have been our two biggest offensive weapons from these last two seasons

As expected, Jurrangelo is focusing on just one side (right handed) to start out. Not gonna be glove switching as of now.

So my take from today is that we had at least two decent relief pitchers we could have chosen to pitch in relief yesterday, but instead decided to pitch lesser talent because someone thought a 9 run lead was too big to lose..

I could guess that Alford was going to fly out in that last AB. He came to the plate and swung big at his first pitch and I just knew he was gonna end the inning. Why can't our players just put the ball in play? They act like they are constantly trying to 1-up each other

Yep, when our Players' and Coaches' Patience Wears Away, the patience of the fan base tends to follow suit. Two different ways to look at "Patience" I reckon.

I'm still confident we are better than last year, but I could see the demeanor of his AB and just tell we were about to strand those runners. I haven't seen us focus on small ball in a long time, that said, this 8th inning is looking exciting

We're now letting them bleed out slowly after teasing them with a prize but yanked it from their meager clutches with ease.

I’m sure they are good guys but eventually you’ve gotta quit letting yourself get burned by guys like Hunt and Stinnett who have consistently struggled.
