Not very impressive ERA's for either team's pitchers; should we expect football like scores?

Not unless IU gets their bats going. Even with these ERA's, the bats may still be on spring break.

Having computer problems folks, but we got 2 in the first and stinky got a solo shot in the second.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Whew. The live stats link I had in the OP tried installing some funky stuff so I got it changed. 

IU 2-1 end of 3.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Sowers singles, Deeds walks and Butler with a 2 out RBI single!

IU 3-1

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Houston finally back and he gets an RBI single!

IU 4-1

Can we call a slight Boiler fail on their new stadium? It looks alright but nowhere near as nice as Bart Kaufman Field despite being built same year. Have not been but from TV looks like it has 2 issues that ours does not. First of all it looks a lot smaller and not as fun to walk around and more crammed for fans. Also looks like it lacks the outfield grass area and bullpen where families can hang out which is a huge plus and my favorite part of our new stadium. Does not look bad and a huge upgrade from Sembower or their old stadium which was even worse but definitely not on Bart Kaufman's level. Theirs looks like a nice college stadium while IU went the extra mile to make it as nice as most small minor league parks.

I'm going tomorrow night to see for sure but that's my impression from TV.

Heading to 5th. 4-1 IU.

[Aaron 4,147]

HR Dedelow! Just cleared RF wall into bullpen as PU outfielder jumped but ran out of room. 5-1 after 4.5.

[Aaron 4,147]

Another clean inning for IU defense. 5-1 after 5 innings.

This is my 1st time doing game updates of any kind since my first job out of college when I gave live updates on another baseball team's twitter account I worked for (it was not IU but another Midwestern team) several years ago. Out of the sports industry now so a nice little blast from past for me. Thanks

Lead off double from Butler leads to nothing and IU leads 5-1 still after 5.5.

2 doubles (second one nearly leaves parks) by PU cut lead to 5-2 after 6. PU also got a single to nearly score another but Krupa gunned the runner down at the plate to end the inning!
