IU's pitchers are garbage

Hoosiers batting in the bottom of the 5th and trail 3-1.  Nick Mitchell led off for the Hoosiers and put a 3-2 pitch over the fence for an early 1-0 lead.  Troy scored on a 2-run HR in the 3rd and a solo shot in the 5th.  Troy only has 3 hits but we only have 2.

Foley started and threw 92 pitches over 4 innings.  He gave up 2-hits; walked 4 and hit a batter.  Bothwell relieved in the 5th.

Mercers gotta go. The pitching just keeps getting worse and worse.

I hope somebody got a video of this but in the 7th, Devin Taylor hit one to the wall in left field.  It hit the left fielder's glove and went over the fence for an assisted HR.  Hoosiers leading 9-7 in the 7th. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

Didn't get the camera turned quick enough and can't really see the ball hit the glove an go over the wall

Well we won the first game of today's doubleheader 10-7.  Phillips started and only lasted 2 innings followed by Keyster, Moffitt & Kraft who collectively gave up 8 hits and 10 BB while striking out  8.  Moffitt credited with the win.  Hoosiers with 15 hits but left 14 runners on base.  Pyne had 4 hits followed by Taylor and Cerny with 3 each.  Today's second game scheduled to start around 3:20.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

2nd game already in the tank as Troy leads 4-0 with the Hoosiers batting in the 2nd.  Risedorph has given up 4 hits  -- 2 HRs and a double and already thrown 54 pitches.  

 

My doom and gloom may have been premature.  We did bounce back with 3 runs in the 2nd so it's a 4-3 ball game moving into the 3rd.  Risedorph stays on the mound.

Troy batting in the 5th and leading 8-6.  

Hoosiers batting in the 6th and Troy leads 13-11.  

Pitching is optional.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,776]

15-11 final score.  We ran through 4 pitchers today who gave up 15 hits, 12 BB, threw 3 wild pitches and hit 3 batters.  We had 9 hits only 1 IU batter had 2.  Mitchell 3 RBI, Mathison & Stadler 2 each.

Tuesday night we'll play Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN.  Wednesday night back in Bloomington to host Illinois State.  Next weekend in Bloomington we host Belmont.

We Better start winning soon.

Not a good weekend but maybe not as bleak as it appears.  Also, some big news about instant replay coming to The Bart and Andy Mohr Field.

Something of note yesterday is Tonghini was not available for his normal three solid innings on the mound which likely cost them the second game. Nothing serious but probably the difference in result second game.
