Highlight reel leaping catch by DeSpigna to rob the hitter of extra bases. Saved a run, since next batter jacked one out. Man, is that guy tall! 9-2 in middle of 7th.
Finley‘s line : 5 IP, 2 hits, 1 run (solo HR), no walks, 3 K’s. Second straight start by Tech pitchers with no walks - that’s impressive! Even considering the huge strike zones last two games.
Wow, Siegel got a called 3rd strike on a pitch about a foot outside. Guess the umps got together after Game 1 and decided they didn’t want any more 21-walk games. Yesterday & today’s HP umps both with huge strike zones.
Another solid starting pitching performance today - this time by Finley. 5-1 in middle of 5th after he strands runner at 3rd on a called 3rd strike.
The HP ump today is another guy with a huge strike zone, but a lot of the Tech hitters’ called 3rd strikes have been right down the middle.
Bottom of 4th - first two men on, then called third strike, force out, called third strike. 10 K’s by Tech “hitters” through 4 innings, most called third strikes right down the middle of the plate. Still up 5-1.
Chance to blow the game wide open with bases loaded and none out in bottom of 4th, then three straight called third strikes on Finley, Romano, and Jackson. Ugh! Still up 5-0.
No walks and 9K’s before the 9th. Even with the HP ump’s huge strike zone (which shrunk in top of the 9th), that’s impressive, especially after yesterday’s walk fest. McGuire really solid - maybe new clubhouse leader for staff ace?
