#IUBASE - 3 game series vs Pacific

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Stratten leads off the 7th with his 2nd double of the day. New pitcher.

1-1

[Aaron 4,293]

Pitching change for Pacific after Stratten doubles to left field wall to open 7th.

[Aaron 4,293]

Fun fact: Pacific manager is former Cleveland Indian Ryan Garko who I remember well from his playing days in 2000's as a mild Indians fan (I am a Cubs fan first). 

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Houston with an RBI single!

IU 2-1

[Aaron 4,293]

IU takes lead again! Houston with a ground ball through the right side that sneaks by first into shallow outfield and Eustace who was pinch running scores from 2nd. Runner on 1st. 0 outs.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Pick off attempt at 1st fails and Houston advances to 3rd.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Lloyd intentional walked. Sowers up.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Sowers with an RBI on a botched fielders choice. Another pitching change.

IU 3-1, B7

[Aaron 4,293]

Sowers reached on a fielders choice after an attempted double play went haywire and Pacific got no outs as throw in 1st base hole to shortstop at 2nd was wide of bag. Houston scores from 3rd. 1st and 2nd 1 out and another Pacific pitching change.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Gorski reaches on a fielding error. Miller up with bases loaded and 2 outs.

[Aaron 4,293]

Nothing more. A great catch on Fineman in shallow left with the shortstop running out gets out 2. Gorski reaches on a 3rd Pacific error that inning on a botched ground ball to short but Miller grounds to short to end inning. 3-1 after 7.

[Aaron 4,293]

New pitcher BJ Sabol

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Lloyd in for Sabol to close this one out.

IU 3-1, T9

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Hoosiers win 3-1. Rubber match tomorrow @ 1:05.

[Aaron 4,293]

Finally won! Lloyd worked himself into a jam in 9th with 1st and 2nd one out after an infield hit Lloyd himself had a hard time fielding then a rope to right for 2nd hit. Lloyd than composed and struck out last 2 batters.

Still need our offense to wake up. More hits today but couldn't cash in as much as we should of against a terrible pitcher until Pacific came unglued with errors in 7th. Bottom line though as i always say is we got the W and RPI never awards style points so we got the win we should of and avoided a 3rd straight bad loss.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Rubber match up @ 1:05.
