Let’s Go Heels

Keep Fighting, you never know in baseball what will happen!!!!

I guess I’m being over critical, but last night was a kluster buster on everyone’s part. I’m pulling for my Heels, but I’m not confident this team has the ponies to win three in a row. Now 2006 might. One observation I believe is accurate - I can’t recall a time when pitching staffs put the pitch into the dirt as often. It’s a constant challenge for the catcher.

This team just needs one at a time and post season experience.

I’m not overly confident it can be done but this team is so young hopefully just being in an environment like last night will prove to be helpful as time goes along!!!

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Bruins with a lead off single

Then a fielders choice grounder gets the lead off runner at 2nd. Runner on first one out

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

A one out full count walk has two on one out

[Jarrod Hardy]

[Jarrod Hardy]

Two run single Bruins 5-0

Take Ollio out

 

[ohio tarheels]

Ugly start this afternoon for Heels.... One has to wonder how much they have left after last nights heartbreaker

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Nick Pry will be the new UNC pitcher

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Pry comes in and gets UCLA to fly out for the second out.

 

[ohio tarheels]

Well we are going to have to score a lot of runs to survive and advance

 

[ohio tarheels]

A walk to #9 hole hitter and UCLA bats around in the 1st

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Infield single yikes Carolina can’t catch a break. Bases are now loaded with two outs

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

All the hits been line drive singles pretty much

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Huge third out for Centracchio escaped more trouble. 5 runs in for ucla in first. Time to get to work.

 

[ohio tarheels]

UCLA gets 5 in the 1st.... We’ll see how Heels respond

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Caleb Roberts with a two out stand up double.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Line out ends the B1

 

[ohio tarheels]

Keep putting it in play and hope for good things to happen for offense

5-0 headed to 2nd

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Davis Palmero is the new UNC pitcher

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Davis strikeouts Mclan to start the B2

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Bruins one out ground ruled double

Then Serretti snags the bullet line drive for the second out.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Davis gets out of it one RISP left on base. 5-0 UCLA M2

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

Nothing doing for UNC in B2 doesn’t seem like they have any juice.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

I was kinda hoping they wouldn’t be the home team because this team can’t afford to get out to early initial jams.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

5-0 Bruins T3

 

[ohio tarheels]

UCLA adds a run in the 3rd... 6-0 headed to B3

Jarrod....I think your early comment is correct. I think they are playing for next year. Just not enough pitching depth to play in a format like this. We must have had some significant attrition this year.

Yep I love the experience from making the regional, which could’ve likely not even happened.

Carlson, Alba, Lancelotti and Sandy have all missed part or most of the season... IMO those were 4 of the top pitchers that were expected to have contributed to the staff this year

 

[ohio tarheels]

10-0 in the 4th and looks like Forbes will go to the young arms as Cozart is coming into the game!!

 

[roadmaster]

This is beyond painful to watch. Real opportunity for a mercy rule. I hope we will not have to pitch position players.
