Hall left Curry in too long, but with a 7-1 lead, I like the decision to take the risk.

Datoc was able to get out of it with only two runs scoring...but CDH has hurt us all year with leaving some guys in a few batters too many.

Need this win badly!

Yet, especially facing a double header with two games already in the last 3 days.

Datoc wiggles out of it after jackets give up 2. Strike out with sacks jammed to end the inning. Both charged to Curry, I think.

I feel like it makes things even harder if you expect to play 18 innings today. Curry had mowed them down in innings leaing up to that. Curry got the leadoff guy out in B7. Then 2 guys on with still no runs in with a 6 run lead.. gives up the hit.. 2 score. ...on his 100th pitch. Then Hall pulls him. I don't really have a problem with that.

The doubleheader today probably had some influence on CDH too.

9-3!! Welcome back Joey Bart!! I've missed your bat. Now we just need Kel Johnson to mash again.

The W!! Hats off to a great pitching performance from Curry, Datoc, and Combs!
First conference win since Clemson.. 3 weeks ago.
First conference road win since WF... 4 weeks ago on what was the crazy extra inning affair where WF gift wrapped it for us.
...the turnaround has BEGUN!?!?

What inning makes it an "official game"?

 

[THWG]

What inning makes it an "official game"?

You have to make it through the top of the 5th if the home team is winning and bottom of the 5th if they are losing, I believe. I might be wrong about the bottom of the 5th part.

When is the 2nd game starting? Is it raining?

 

[Lagrangejacket]

Niice win! Really, really need to get these games in to climb up the standings and get into the tournament.

When is the 2nd game starting? Is it raining?

From GT baseball's twitter:

"Lightning detected in the area backing up the Game 2 start time. We will keep you updated as we get more information."

 

[bensaysitathome]

GT Baseball twitter now says 4:20 first pitch.

 

[THWG]

Bomb from Craport!! 2-0 and they're off.

 

[THWG]

MCCANN with a solo shot!! 3-0. He must be a member of the swarm and didn't like what I said earlier.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Man this beer tastes good for some reason. Up 3-0 and Shadday only 1 hit and 2 Ks in two innings. Low strike % (25-13) but hopefully VT loses some discipline at the plate being down 3-0.

Looking at radar at 1655, looks like we have 60 to 90 minutes before a thunderstorm line comes through.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

GT up 4-0. Fourth run via bunt ...... single, bunt out, pop out, single for RBI, FO.

4 runs on 5 hits ain't bad. Rain may go north of Blacksburg ......
