SB at Mary Nutter - Day 1 LMU

[psycHOGlogist]

Hogs on the board in the top of the first. A couple walks and then Warrick knocks in Hiers.

1-0 Hogs, on to the B1.

Lineup is the "usual" from last weekend, with Storms getting the start in the circle.

[psycHOGlogist]

Storms gives up a nubber of a single to the second batter, but gets three groundouts so no damage.

1-0 Hogs, headed to T2. Bugarin, Yannetti, Russell due up.

[psycHOGlogist]

Bugarin singles, but Yannetti erases her with grounder to SS for the double play.

Russell ends the inning on a grounder.

LMU coming up B2.

[psycHOGlogist]

Storms gives up a pair of 2-out singles, but gets the 3rd out on a grounder to 3rd.

Top of the order up for the Hogs in T3.

[psycHOGlogist]

Canfield grounds out, Hiers walks and advances to 2nd on a PB, Schroeder doubles her home. Diaz walks, Warrick singles, and the runners advance. Bases loaded for Belans, who walks. Schroeder scores. Bugarin singles, scoring Diaz, everyone else moves up a base. Still loaded for Yannetti, who singles up the middle, scoring Belans and Warrick. Bugarin to 3rd. Still one out for Russell.

It's now 6-0 Hogs, and LMU changes pitchers. Runners at the corners and 1 out for Russell.

Russell grounds to first, Bugarin scores from 3rd, Yannetti to 2nd. Canfield gets plunked. 1st and 2nd for Hiers, and we've batted around. 7-0 Hogs.

[psycHOGlogist]

Storms gets a 1-2-3 inning with 2 ground outs and a pop-up.

[psycHOGlogist]

Schroeder leads off the T4 with ANOTHER home run -- 8-0 Hogs.

Diaz flies out to CF, Warrick grounds out to 1b.

Belans hits her first HR as a Hog, 9-0 good guys.

Bugarin K's.

B4, Storms back to the circle.

[psycHOGlogist]

Storms gives up a leadoff single, retires the next two, but then gives up a 2-run HR. 9-2 Hogs.

Gets the third out and on to 5th, up 7. Need another run for run rule to be in effect.

[psycHOGlogist]

Cooper PH for Yannetti.

And promptly hits a HR to LF. Nice job, Tori!! 10-2 Hogs, and we're back in run rule territory.

Benz on to PH for Russell. Benz singles, and then Russell comes right back in to run for her. LOL - you've been USED for your bat, Sydney! ;-)

Canfield continues to struggle - fouls out to LF for the first out.

Hiers works a BB, runners at 1/2 for Schroeder, 1 out. Pitching change for LMU.

And Schroeder homers AGAIN. Obviously. 13-2 Hogs. (Holy crap!)

And Diaz doesn't want to be left out, so she homers. 14-2 Hogs.

I'd like to point out that this is not a godawful LMU team. They beat both North Dakota St this year, and Utah State. They also have a close loss to Ole Miss, a bigger loss to Ole Miss (8-1) , and a loss to Utah State. They also beat Liberty today before their game with the Hogs.

Pocklington ph for Warrick, and promptly hits a double.

There's still only 1 out.

Belans grounds out, Pocklington to 3b. Our 9th batter of the inning is up, Bugarin. She walks. Cooper back up, runners at corners, 2 outs.

Actually, Box PH's for Cooper. Box singles to SS, PPock scores, Bugarin to 2nd. (Beringhele in to run for Box).

Russell, that kill-joy, fouls out to RF to end a 6-run inning. Hogs lead 15-2, 3 outs away from run rule.  Will we see a pitching change?

[psycHOGlogist]

Yes - Parr moves to RF, Warrick comes in to pitch.

Infield single to 3rd to start things off for LMU, followed by a pop-out to 3rd. 1 on, 1 out.

Next batter hits a single after a long at bat, but then Warrick gets a ground ball DP to end the game.

Hogs win 15-2.

Pretty nifty hitting.
