trailing 2-0 b4

 

[sctarheel30]

lead off single can we do anything with it...........nope

 

[sctarheel30]

tied at 2 headed to b6

 

[sctarheel30]

so much for that uva has scored one so far b6

 

[sctarheel30]

could have been worse but escaped only giving up one run t7 down 3-2

 

[Raising Heel]

How ya doing, sc?

Awesome that the Heels could tie it up at 2, but gave it right back in the bottom of the inning. Cavs up 3-2 T7.

 

[sctarheel30]

RH hanging in there buddy how about you? agree glad to see the heels tie it up but it looked very easy for uva to take the lead again.

 

[sctarheel30]

nothing doing for the heels again. Kelley onto pitch

 

[sctarheel30]

onto the t8 still trailing by one

 

[Raising Heel]

Just living day by day, my man.

Heels could walk out of here with a 1-run loss. That would be painful. RISP in the top of the 9th but we have to have some offense.

Go Heels!

 

[sctarheel30]

hopefully we can hold them here and get a couple in the 9th to escape with a win

 

[sctarheel30]

here we go with the stupid or lack of fundamentals again

 

[Raising Heel]

Another wasted opportunity at the plate.

Now the Cavs have the bases loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th. UVA still up 3-2 and Heels are in trouble.

 

[sctarheel30]

two outs bases loaded still come on let's get out of this

 

[Raising Heel]

Whew! Kelley with a big strikeout for the second out.

Play at any base here, Heels. Let's get outta this jam.

 

[sctarheel30]

wow we get out of the inning with no runs now tie it up or take the lead

 

[Raising Heel]

Wow dodged a major bullet there! Ramirez with the fly out strands 3 UVA runners.

Heading into the 9th

 

[sctarheel30]

not at a good start Jordan out on strikes

ballgame folks oh well not a good start to the series uva 3-2

 

[Raising Heel]

Oh well. Heels never really felt like they were in that one. Still, they played #1 to close finish on the road. Hopefully they come back with confidence the rest of the series.
