Not the best result for Texas as they now have to beat Mississippi aggy twice to reach the finals.

Hey Viper, shouldn't that Paine quote read "Arguing with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administrating medicine to the dead"

From watching Virginia last night, Texas should easily win that one. Guessing that pitcher from msu will be available for the next game with the winner. If its Texas and if the bring the same mentality to the plate, it will be the same result. It was interesting the commentators on Texas game yesterday stating that pierce saying they had to choke up on the bat and shorten the swing to adjust. Would have been nice to see that tried about the 4th inning on Sunday. Still a tough row to hoe for Texas but we do have a very deep pitching bench. Lets hope the bats wake up!!!

One game at a time . Take care of Virginia then move on to Miss State and beating them for the first time .. Win the next two and then the pressure shifts onto Miss St…

Stanford winning

 

[Chop]

Stanford can blow it open here.

Bases loaded two outs for Stanford.

High fastball. Strikeout. Three men left stranded and Vandy is only down by one run. Talk about clutch pitching under pressure for Vandy there.

 

[Chop]

Stanford’s closer Beck has struck out all five batters he’s faced!


Welp, he just got a ground out. Five out of six…

CWS = a tourney where lots of teams have pitchers like ours… (or pretty close)

 

[Chop]

Vandy ties it up 5-5 bottom of the 9th. Men on the corners two outs.





Stanford’s hopes going up in flames.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Stanford's first baseman just had a huge error. Now tied at 5 at bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and Vandy at 2nd & 3rd base.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Wow, what an ending.

 

[Chop]

After all those strikeouts, Beck throws a wild pitch! Vandy scores from third on the wild pitch for the win!!!

 

[Chop]

Now that was an exciting ninth inning!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Just a reminder that you can lead for most of the game and lose it in the 9th.

 

[Chop]

NC State may have their hands full with Vandy. Vandy has some sick pitching, and clutch offense—what a comeback!

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Damn what a crappy way to lose a game.

 

[mchammer]

Damn what a crappy way to lose a game.

This is 2 games in a row where team loses 6-5 to SEC after squandering early lead.

 

[FWHORN]

Vandy resets their pitching also and now has their two top ten draft pick pitchers on tap for Friday and Saturday. They have clear edge in each remaining individual game in that bracket but NC State does have the two to win one advantage.

65, you were the first to notice! Thanks.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Damn what a crappy way to lose a game.

As Yogi would say, "It ain't over til it's over." All the damage happened after there were two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

 

[HoffHorn]

NC State Is doing Jim Valvano NC State as underdogs in damn near every game! They can score!

Looks like they will have to don capes...game against Vandy is delayed for 'assessment' of a 'rona issue with at least two of their players. One was the starting 2B and the other was an innings-eater...

Just cancel that bracket and let Texas-MSU play for the NC

What's the deal with the black uniforms? Stanford wore black in Lubbock and at CWS. Vanderbilt wore all black the first day of CWS. NC State has black jerseys today. Uh, hello, it's summer. Black uniforms and the blazing sun don't go well together.

Maybe they are trying to bake the 'rona out of the system...

down to 13 players (9 position and 4 pitchers, including a pitcher playing 1B)...jeez.

 

[nashhorn]

What the heck? Did someone test positive? Why did one kid get sent home as I read on one thread. Weren't they vaccinated? This sucks for NCS. Not that I’m for them I just think it’s a bad break.

I'm guessing they were vaxxed given how many schools required it. I am going to venture a guess that they got Jon Rahm'ed...

 

[nashhorn]

Trying to figure out what that means.

Golf dude who just won US open two weeks after being escorted off Memorial tourney after 3 rds and leading the field by 6 strokes. He had been vaccinated but only 2 weeks earlier.

Coach said earlier that a bug was going around. It’s possible the cold symptoms were used as an excuse for the more sensitive PCR test that may be picking up dead covid protein from 6-12 weeks ago.
