App State vs CofC at 9. Says Tyler Jackson – “”We didn’t pick the best time to go into a slump, but I think we’re out of it.” Good timing, cause this is the “”Deepest tournament I can ever remember,” said The Citadel coach Fred Jordan, in his 19th season.” Give ‘em hell!
Wow…a homer to start the game. good start.
2-1 good guys in the bottom of the second
4-2 CofC ahead in the top of the 3rd..
6-2 CofC going into the top of the 4th.. Good new is it's still early.. bad news is CofC can hit and will more than likely keep adding onto the lead..
Top of the 6th, 1 out, bases loaded down 7-3 with Crespo (3 for 3 today) at the plate. Come on boys, let's rally!!!
7-5 going into the bottom of the 6th
3 up 3 down after Helms walks the leadoff…still 7-5 Cougs heading into the top of the 7th
8-7 App, going into the bottom of the 7th. If we can maintain a lead going into the 9th and Patterson can come in, I will be comfortable..
8 – 8 heading into the top of the 8th
10-8!! Keep the pressure on Apps!
10-8 good guys still batting in the 8th
10-8 in the bottom of the 8th.. Patterson has come in to help preserve the lead!
10 – 8 heading into the 9th…let's get some insurance!!!
10-8 headed into the top of the 9th.. lets add a few more runs here and really put the pressure on them!
Bottom 9; 10-8 Apps
Homerun by CofC first batter in the 9th.. 10-9, with no outs… Let's go Patterson!
Brewer hits a bomb to bring Cougs within in 1 (10 – 9)
Hit batter.. tying run on first, winning run at the plate.. not looking good..
Cougs get a man on 1st (HBP) with no outs…
ASU has left 12 men on base???
Dammit…CoC tie the game 10 – 10 heading to extra innings
Looks like we are going into extras…
UGGGHHH!!
C'mon APPS!!
Well damn, my live stats are behind.. still show 10-9 us, with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th..
What should we do with Patterson? Arguably the best reliever we have had in a long time (if not ever), but we will need him in later games the rest of the tourney. What do we do — keep him in, or sit him and bring in someone else?
still tie 10-10, going into bottom of the 10th..
Patterson still pitching…
Lead off double in top of the 11th. Drive in the run!!!
10-10, top of the 11th.. Apps start with a double.. We need to get at least one run here!
No outs, runner (Wallace) on 3rd…
Lead off double to start the 11th
Advances to 3rd on a wild pitch
Crespo with a RBI double (11 – 10)…knock him in!!!
Bottom of 11, hold on to that one run lead.
Up 1 heading to the bottom of the 11th – HOLD EM APPS
"FINISH STRONG……FINISH!"
Patterson walked lead off hitter.. man on first, 0 outs
Error on Towarnicky.. runner on first is now on third.. 0 outs still..
Towarnicky boots a double play ball, Cougs have a man on 1st and 3rd, 1 out
Base hit, tie game, Cougs with man on 1st and 3rd
Need a double play ball here or a strike out…
intentional walk.. bases loaded, bottom of the 11th, 1 out..
SOB.
Game over.. Apps lose 12-11
Hard fight, but could not finish
We play again tomorrow at 9am against the loser of the Ga. Southern, Western game..
That was intense to read all this.
A lot better performance than our previous showing v. Charleston. Nonetheless, bitter pill to swallow to blow two late inning leads.
Maybe this will fire them up to battle back tomorrow. Go Apps.
40 days of oil gushing into the gulf and still no leadership from King Obama. How's that hope and change working for ya? Throw the bums out.

call you congressmen and senators today and force them to put pressure on the president to get his ass in gear.
And this has what to do with ASU baseball?
Everything.
And nothing. Besides, as a right winger, Midwest should be happy about anything/everything involved in the oil industry.
Three weeks ago, he didn't want BP held responsible. He doesn't want big government or government intervention. But he wants government to stop the spill. How? With what? The industry is far more qualified and equipped than government to deal with these manmade disasters, and they're having no success. It makes no sense to think that if BP could contain the damage, they would, if for no other reason than image preservation.
