Opportunity squandered. To be tied when the Ark starting pitcher departed and not win this game with a chance is totally deflating. Could not have expected to be in that position realistically going into this game. Still would have liked to see Shelton get a chance in the 8th and not left 1B...
The Nut pops out. I would have seen if Shelton could have gotten a hit or maybe they toss a wild pitch. Would not have made the decision easy for them to intentionally walk Shelton.
What a nice bunt by Shelnut to sacrifice the runner but why can't he just run in the runner's lane? Best bunt I have seen by a Gator hitter in maybe the entire Sully era. All for naught.
With Jameson coming in and a DH tomorrow Sully figures he needs 3 starters tomorrow and is probably going to go with typical bullpen guys. But if we could somehow get some runs, maybe Neely would pitch late?
7 of our 12 outs are strikeouts but the ARK pitcher is nasty. But in fairness we strikeout about 50% of the time anyway regardless of the opponent's pitcher.
Coppola back out there for the 4th.
1-0 after 3 innings. Coppola 1 hit, 1 run ZERO free passes but 50 pitches b/c ARK is fouling off a ton of pitches. But for this pitching staff that is a monumental effort. Best he has looked all year by far. Maybe another inning but not sure.
