KSU—We Won the Series at #23 KSU

[Phil Elliott]

Flores HBP. Bases loaded no outs. Lets make hay boys!

 

[Chop]

Flores got beaned.

Bases loaded for Belyeu--he's our best hitter.

 

[Chop]

Cats' pitcher is struggling with control (understatement)

 

[Chop]

What's this!!!!!

BELYEU!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Phil Elliott]

Belyeu doubles to LF. 2 runs score.

 

[Chop]

Belyeu!

2 RBI double down LF line!!!

17-11 us

 

[Chop]

Jack O'Dowd

Grounds out to 3rd, but drives another run in!

18-11 us!!!

 

[Chop]

Gasparino pops out. Tricky catch by their catcher there. .2 away.

 

[Chop]

Porter Brown walks

Men on the corners

2 away.

 

[Chop]

And here's Galvan.

Knock it to Iowa!

(actually a base hit would score 1, so that would be fine as well...)

 

[Phil Elliott]

Galvan drives in 2 more with a 2b. Hes 5-6 tonite. I say he keeps #52.

 

[Chop]

Galvan!!!!!!

Extra bases!

Double down the RF line

2 RBIs

20-11 Horns!!!

 

[Chop]

D Kennedy is up.

And he is now batting North of the Mendoza Line----big development for our 2B.

 

[Chop]

Ha!

E by their SS (maybe--hard play)

Galvan scores.

Kennedy rounds first and take second.

21-11 Us.

 

[Chop]

Thomas gets beaned (again).

 

[Chop]

Strategy -- Boehm has gone far enough tonight that we wouldn't use him tomorrow. With that in mind, let Boehm finish this one out. Save Fontenot, Tumis, Shaw, Lummis, etc. for tomorrow to relieve Grubbs.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Ok boys. 10 run lead with 3 outs to get. Surely we can pull this out?

 

[Chop]

Strategy -- Boehm has gone far enough tonight that we wouldn't use him tomorrow. With that in mind, let Boehm finish this one out. Save Fontenot, Tumis, Shaw, Lummis, etc. for tomorrow to relieve Grubbs.

Coach disagrees with Chop. He's bringing in Tumis now. Boehm was ON A ROLL, I would have let him roll on until this one is done.

Sooooooooooooooo, guys who played at high levels (higher than high school...), we're not in the CWS or Super Regionals, etc. Is Boehm considered available for an inning or two tomorrow in this regular season game? I would say yes, if he's needed.

 

[Phil Elliott]

You're pulling Boehm? Seriously? After the 1st walk, he was dealing.

 

[Chop]

Tumis has freakishly nasty stuff--best on our staff IMHO. But if he shows a loss of control tonight, pull him sooner rather than later.

 

[Chop]

Tumis

K

 

[Phil Elliott]

Yeah with a 10 run lead, perhaps saving Boehm so u can use him tomorrow is the angle here.

 

[Chop]

Momentum baby.

Tumis has mad movement on his slider/breaking stuff. But Boehm was doing so well tonight. Keep him in there.

 

[Chop]

Yeah with a 10 run lead, perhaps saving Boehm so u can use him tomorrow is the angle here.

That's probably what he's thinking. And unless Tumis really screws the pooch in the ninth, he'll be good for an inning or two tomorrow as well.

 

[Chop]

Tumis!

Another K

 

[Chop]

Tumis is a boom-or-bust sort of pitcher here as a True Freshman thus far.

He's got some of the best "stuff" we've seen in years. As he grows and mentally develops his game, he could turn into a monster on the mound. For now, it's boom or bust for this talented True Freshman.

 

[Phil Elliott]

At least Tumis is throwing strikes. Now u may say duh with a 10 run lead he is supposed to and I agree but that hasnt always been automatic for us this year.

 

[Chop]

Tumis!

Another K to end the game!

Final 21-11 VICTORY!!!!!!!

GO HORNS!!!!!!!

 

[Phil Elliott]

Another K game over.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Well lets see what we can do tomorrow.
