I honestly don’t think you can catch a ball with your glove faced down

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

THe call of a catch stands

 

[JohnGwaltney]

You have to give it to Pitt. They have made some big catches tonight to stay with UNC.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

I honestly don’t think you can catch a ball with your glove faced down

Looked like it bounced into the glove.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Unfortunately, they didn't have a definitive angle. Some times review is great while other times totally useless.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Hiatt is back on the mound for the 6th

Exactly

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Hiatt gives up a one out walk, his first this outing.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Hiatt isn’t getting any favorable calls

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

These UNC fans aren’t pleased at all.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Pitt has two on with one out

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Danger time for the Heels!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

5-4-3 DP!!!

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

5-4-3 the shift works DP baby

 

[JohnGwaltney]

HUGE outs for the Heels!

4-3 UNC going to the seventh

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Those catches made in RF and dead C have taken away several Carolina runs. Hats off to them, though.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Riley gets on with a walk with one away in the T7.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Freeman flies out for the second out of the inning. Riley on first with two away and McGee coming to the plate.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

McGee flies out to LF on one pitch to end the inning and strand Riley at first.

4-3 UNC M7

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Pitt solid defensively

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Due Up For UNC In The 8th:
7. Martorano
8. Hesterlee
9. Gahagan

 

[JohnGwaltney]

One of my biggest concerns going forward is how many men Carolina leaves on base. It is difficult to beat good teams doing that and it has been an issue most of the season.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Leadoff walk gives Pitt a man on first.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

A leadoff walk for Pitt to open the B7

C’mon Hiatt You Got This

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

One of my biggest concerns going forward is how many men Carolina leaves on base. It is difficult to beat good teams doing that and it has been an issue most of the season.

Yep I blame DBAP

It’s been one of my biggest concerns for ten years in the postseason.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Agreed, but that is also a BIG problem if Carolina makes it to Omaha.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

One away after the Hiatt K.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

CLOSE one at first base!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Another close throw to first.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Hiatt loses the batter to put two on with one down.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Brett Daniels coming in for Hiatt.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

You have to go to Daniels here.

Hiatt isn't use to going this long.

2 walks in this inning.

B7 UNC 4 PITT 3

2 on with 1 out

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Yeah, he was starting to lose some of his control.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

A double brings in the tying run. It is now 4-4 with one out in the B7.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Sac bunt puts Pitt up 5-4.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

It wasn't pretty, at all, but it was effective. Pitt flies out to end the inning, but the Panthers lead 5-4 going to the 8th.

 

[franklin street]

were both of those runs walks?

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Yes

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

were both of those runs walks?

Yep
