BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[vabaseball]

I like your all-freshman team....

2nd inning.  Sitting here at work.  Love the live stats...

[vabaseball]

Greensboro also has a great web stream.  Best in the region in that regard.  3 GBC errors have hurt Manfro who has pitched well.  Van Sickler has been impressively efficient -- 3 hits through 8 innings.

great pitching performances by both manfro and van sickler today...more importantly, both pitched cg's, saving their 'pens (but also assuring that they probably won't pitch much more this weekend) - looks like it was a great game to start the tournament

manfro - that's the kind of performance that will get you much respect...you backed up the talk for perhaps one of the first times this year...big game, big stakes, big performance - keep letting your arm talk (and not your fingers)

Very impressive so far...Everything is at stakes.  Great job on Manfro and Van Sickler, both pitched great...Manfro had 11K's!!!!!

CNU-Ferrum tied at 1-1, bottom of 9th.  Cauley in for Wilson for Ferrum.

NCWC has their hands full tonight with either Phetteplace or Allred, not sure who they are throwing.

[Catfishncwc]

IN a year that had a lot of offense we have had some really good pitching performance today. 

[vabaseball]

I'll say.

[Catfishncwc]

Ferrum with the 2-1 upset of CNU in extra innings.

Ferrum with the 2-1 upset of CNU in extra innings.

Is Hildreth on a pitch count?  Why in the world would you take him out?  Maybe it will work out for AU...up 2-0 on MU going into the bottom of the 9th.

WOW...
...Who'd have thunk it...CNU vs MU in an early elimination game and Ferrum vs Averett in winners bracket game.

pitch count in your senior year in your last conference tourney that is crazy stuff to me.

[A.G.]

Exactly, catfish.  Unless Ben was just gassed...but I know him well enough to know he wants to compete and pulling him made no sense.  It worked out for them, though.

[CNU85]

WOW...

Uh-Oh. Gonna be a bad bus ride home for somebody around noon tomorrow.

[coachmilburn]

I was told from a person at the game that Hildreth threw a few warm up pitches in the 9th and then put the baseball down on the mound and pointed to his arm.  Hope he's OK and it's nothing serious.

2-9-2 ... Averett
1-6-2 ... Methodist
