Into the bottom of the fourth and the frostburg defense has looked less than impressive. Their starting second baseman was injured as a base runner early and the replacement has committed two errors.

Quayle for frostburg is not super impressive on the mound. Franklins pitcher, Ellis, has been fairly effective early on.

Into the sixth and this game is kind of just plodding along. Frostburgs offense certainly won't scare anyone. Their pitcher, Quayle, has seemed to settle into a groove.

Neither team is hitting the ball particularly hard. One long loud out otherwise not much hit out of the infield.

Franklin has turned a few double plays to get out of some trouble. Frost burg had a chance to turn one and thre the ball away on the pivot. Something that cost them two runs.

Frostburg saving their all American candidate for game 2.

Interesting decision

i've seen that move backfire too man times...not a good choice in my opinion.  it sure would be ironic for them to lose this one, then have their ace have to face Gasser tonight. 

this first one is almost a must-win for frostburg if they are going to play with fire like that.

Trouble brewing for Franklin in the top of the 8th. Starter lost his command and has the bases loaded.

Reliever comes in and gets a huge strike out and a ground out to end the threat

Frostburg leaves he bases loaded twice in the final two innings.

Frostburg batter looks at a fastball right down the middle of the plate for called strike three to end it. 

This is why you don't save pitching.  Use the best you have available and stay in the winner's bracket.

Interesting matchup tonight between frostburg's Ross and marietta's Gasser. Should be a fast game.

Domschot (Adrian) is the real deal. Not a lot of strikeouts thru 5 but a lot of routine stuff for outs. Just a lot of routine pop ups.

Case's starter had one rough inning but has avoided further damage. Adrian is making good contact though.

Game is moving quickly.
Adrians reliever proceeds to give up a grand slam. Until then case hadn't done much all day.

couple close games to start the tournament.

Congrats to Case on the huge hit in the 9th, their only big swing of the day.

Nathan James is off to a rough start for the berg. Altoona got hit hard in the first inning. And is getting hit hard again in the second.

Congrats to Case on a big win!

Don't you just love baseball. The game can turn on a dime. It is not over until 27 outs have been recorded.

Way to go Woo Alum Matt Englander on building a program and good luck throughout the tourney.

This is vintage Marietta baseball. Greg Ross has thrown an outstanding game for Frostburg State, certainly looks like an All-American to me on the UStream.

But MC has taken every chance, and created most of their own. Forcing bunt defense, putting runners in motion and putting pressure on the catcher in that way, and running up the pitch count on Ross who is near 130 pitches before 8 innings are complete.

Really, really good baseball.

EDIT: Ross is out with the bases loaded and two outs following a "tough error" on a one-hopper to third base. Very, very good pitching from him.

Ross was legit. The pioneer bats never got him figured out, save for Alex Toth who was two for three against him. The frostburg defense let him down.

Offensively, frostburg just wasn't on par.

A couple of interesting winners bracket games on tap tomorrow. Can case step up and do it against either sly niƱo or Ethan Holt?  A heavy hitting Franklin team against Austin Blaski.

Should be fun.

special night in Marietta last night. It is such a different atmosphere there come tournament time that you simply don't see most places. Glad Etta was able to escape the upset bug that was going on around the country today. #2,3,5,7 teams all going down. Tomorrow should seperate what teams prove to have a legitimate shot at winning their regions...

I look for Boshinski to start against the 'Berg.

He pitched 5-1/3 innings of 3 hit shut out ball against them in March.

Adrian is ready to eliminate PS-Altoona, behind a masterful performance from Partyka.

They lead 2-0 in the 9th.
