But not much

Wag got a run in the 10th, and CCSU left 2 on. Ballgame over, season over. Thanks for reading, check the paper for a full breakdown.

Bonus baseball!

White was brillaint and Charlie's move to use Parker as a pitcher paid off to escape trouble in the 9th.
Bonus baseball!

Were you under the impression this would be easy?

Wagner got 3 in the 7th and chased Markoya with a leadoff double in the 8th, but Donny White left him at third with a great relief job. 5-5 bot 8 now.

Send the bill to C.J. Jones

Back-to-back homers by Parker and Wells in the 5th have CCSU back up 5-2.
Parker's hit the scoreboard, which means 3 of CCSU's 4 homers today have been off of something (light pole, Fribble sign, scoreboard).

Wag rallying

The Hawks get 2 back in the 5th, but Markoya got a big K with 2 outs and the bases loaded. 3-2 CC.

Highlight of the week

There are no more cadidates required to even try. Richie Tri just hit a ball off the light pole in right. He hit the pole so hard the ball came back into mid-right. Just a shot.
3-0 CCSU.

Back for more

Day 2 in New Britain:
First off, in case you didn't read the paper, a quick update: Wagner's protest went nowhere, so we're here.

After the first 15 men were retired in the game, Sean Parker's two-run homer off the Fribble (now I want a milkshake) put CCSU up 2-0 in the bottom of the third.

My fingers hurt

After CCSU tied the game, SHU just hit a two-run homer. It's 15-13 SHU in the 8th.

U kidding me?

This is a video game at this point. 5 SHU runs later it's 13-12 SHU going to the 8th. I'm pitching tommorow I think.

Now it's a chess game

12-11 bot 7, tying run on 3rd, Charlie goes to Kerski. So Derek, Taylor and Kerski have all gone today. You need to win this one now to try and patchwork your way through tommorow. Lose today and its chaos in the bullpen because you have to play two more than if you win today.
