Hogs v. Troy Game 3 Thread

[Hawgvillain]

The next hitter is Edgar Ramirez...Ramirez fouls off Todd's first pitch...the second one misses and it's 1-1

[Hawgvillain]

Someone finally puts the ball in play...Ramirez pops the ball directly up over the plate and Jeff Nutt catches it...2 down

[Hawgvillain]

1-2 to the next hitter (I missed his name)...the Trojans are down to their last strike...and Todd delivers...he puts a slider on the outside corner and the hitter just watches it go by...Hogs Win! Hogs Win! Holy Cow!

[Hawgvillain]

Todd finishes the game in dominant style, striking out 5 of the 6 batters that he faced...I think we gotta give him a shot in the rotation...

[Hawgvillain]

The final line is:

AR - 16R 14H 0E
Troy - 2R 7H 2E

Duke Welker is my player of the game (only because I can't give it to the Trojan pitching staff).  He pitched 5 shutout innings and got the win.  Ricky Ibarz is the losing pitcher for the Trojans.

The Hogs managed an offensive explosion this series and really the pitching on Saturday was the only negative.  Seibert, who I had huge hopes for, needs to get it together - or we gotta find someone who will.

Kudos to the Hogs for starting the year off with 2 tough series on the road against very good mid-major teams.  I'm happy that we were able to win both series.  Expect things to get a little easier the next few weeks with home series against Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Illinois State.  There's no reason the Hogs shouldn't win at least 5 out of those 6 games.

I was happy to do the updates and I hope everyone enjoyed following along.

No way, he is too valuable as a closer.  We have needed someone like him for some time

I gotta disagree about that...we just went a weekend series where we lost a game and our second best pitcher didn't pitch one inning that mattered...

Yes, but it all changes when we get into the SEC schedule and 9 out of 10 games come down to stopping your opponent late in the game (7,8 & 9 innings).

Great job Hawgvillian.  Keep up the good work.

Fair enough...For now, I'm just going to hope that Seibert gets it together and this is a moot discussion.  He's only had 2 outings so there is still plenty of time...

Thanks for the updates all day.   

Go Hogs!

[sowmonella]

Thanks for keeping us informed. Good Job!

[wincrimson]

Not bad at all..

Troy had a pretty good team last year.  Wins like this can only help the 'ol RPI.

[Break & Run]

yea, Troy only lost like 13 games last year.
