Santa Clara series — SWEEP!

[aUTfan]

Santa Clara pitcher ended back to back innings with the same exact pitch on 2 strikes. Low and inside and induced both batters to swing over it.

 

[aUTfan]

Borba

Fly ball. Their CF covers a lot of ground to make the play. One Down.

Borba still squared the ball up really good, it just didn’t fall. Schuessler may be finding his offense, if so, he’ll have to move up and so will Borba if they continue seeing the ball well.

Top of 3

Spencer. K on the changeup.

Not a bad Rembrandt act on those two pitches.

 

[Chop]

Two down.

 

[Chop]

Spencer is having an efficient inning. He’s at 48 pitches now.

 

[Chop]

That thing breaks so much at the plate that it’s hard for Galvan to catch it.

 

[Chop]

Spencer’s a good one.

Ground out to Shoos ends it.

52 pitch count for 3 innings thrown.

Gomez, on the other hand may only be good for 3 innings tonight.

 

[Chop]

Bottom of third.

Mendoza.

3d base —ball pops out of his glove and he couldn’t find it. E. Man on. No outs.

 

[Chop]

Belyeu. He’s batting over 0.450

Out.

 

[Chop]

Ha!

Better lucky than good.

Mendoza in a rundown and the 2B drops it.

Now Flores Sac fly. Mendoza to 3rd. 2 down.

 

[Chop]

A Rod

Rats. Soft liner to 2B.

To the 4th

0-0

Top of fourth

Spencer.

That breaker is a tough ball to hit and a tough ball to catch.

Now it’s a K on the changeup

 

[Chop]

Spencer. Another K. 6 strikeouts.

 

[Chop]

Scouting is an imperfect art. There’s no way Spencer should have started out at Indiana State.

 

[Chop]

Spencer. Backwards K. He struck out the side!

Spencer is DEALIN’ !!!!

 

[Chop]

Bottom of the fourth

Gomez has an elevated pitch count. Time to light him up!

Will

Draws a lead off walk!!

 

[Chop]

Shoos.

Bad luck there. Lined it hard and Will is doubled up. Two down.

 

[Chop]

Borba. Draws a walk.

Gomez at 82 pitches.

 

[Chop]

Farmer. Fly out to CF. End of 4

0-0

Nice play by Borba on a chopper. One down.

Line a couple right at a defender. Pop out and fly out. We’re putting them on, but not bringing them in.

 

[Chop]

Easy grounder to Mendoza. Two down.

 

[Chop]

Double down the LF line.

 

[Chop]

Spencer — backwards k.

To the bottom of the fifth.

Spencer pitched a very good game with 5 shutout innings. He’s around 90 pitches or so.

 

[Chop]

Time for some runs Horns!
