CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:06:01

Mat Clark (7-1) will make his return at 4:00 after missing last weekend with a sore arm. Tigers are looking for some way to end this 8-game ACC losing streak. They lost yet another one-run game last night, 8-7.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:38:43

Hall, Davidson and Byrd go 1-2-3 in 1st.

SCORELESS M1.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:39:55

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:45:23

HAWKINS DELIVERS!!! 2-out single puts Tigers up 1-0! He’s really come on late just like the end of last season. Was just 0-8 all season up until a week ago.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:46:07

Teo walks. Good to see him reach base a couple times in a row after 3 K’s last night.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:46:52

Hall strikes out swinging to end the inning.

TIGERS LEAD 1-0 M2.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:47:26

Ugh Clark gives up a leadoff HR to tie the game.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:49:04

Unlike his last start when Clark gave up back to back homers at FSU and then threw 8 straight balls, he responds with 3 straight outs and a K to end the inning!

TIED 1-1 AFTER 2.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:49:42

Davidson leadoff walk on full count!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:51:35

BYRD 2-RUN HR!!! His 6th of season puts Tigers up 3-1! That’s the 4th HR of the series already for Tigers. They hit 3 solo homers last night.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:53:52

Wilkie singles! He’s 2-2 today and has 2 hits in each of the last 3 games.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:54:42

Ugh Bryar Hawkins grounds into a double play. He has 2 K’s and a DP after starting last night 4-4 with 2 HR’s.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 15:55:37

Greene reaches on an error, but Sharpe strikes out.

TIGERS LEAD 3-1 AFTER 4..

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:34:06

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:34:48

Greene 2-out single. He’s reached all 3 times today!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:35:19

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:37:10

Grounder gives Tech corners with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:38:31

Ugh Clark walks the bases loaded on 4 pitches. Monte brings Holt Jones in from pen with 2 outs. I would leave Clark in. He was only at 72 pitches.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:39:48

Sure enough, Jones gives up a 2-out single to his first batter for 2 runs! It’s been very rare for a reliever to get the first batter out for the Tigers this season.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:40:45

Good grief Jones walks the next batter on full count to load the bases. Knew they should have left Clark in!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 16:59:41

Jones gives up a run on a wild pitch, walks the bases loaded and then walks in the go-ahead run. Lol unbelievable! The bull pen has been awful for the most part over the last 2 weeks. Again, should have left Clark in.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:00:23

Spiers comes in to relieve Jones and gets a liner to finally end the 4-run inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 5-4 AFTER 5.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:01:03

Sharpe leadoff single!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:01:58

Justin Hawkins strikes out. One on for Teo.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:02:46

Teo singles! He’s reached base in 3 of his last 4 at bats. 2 on with one out for leadoff man Hall.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:03:52

HALL DELIVERS!!! Infield single ties the game! Corners with one out for Davidson.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:05:00

DAVIDSON DELIVERS!!! Another infield singke puts Tigers back in front 6-5! What an answer! New pitcher with 2 on for Byrd, who has 2 HR’s today.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:06:10

Byrd flies out, runners tag to 2nd and 3rd. Two outs for Wilkie, who is 2-3 today.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:07:33

Ugh Wilkie grounds out to end the inning. Single there would have been huge!

TIGERS LEAD 6-5 M6.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:19:36

Spiers strikes out the leadoff man on 3 pitches but walks the next batter and he gets to 2nd on a balk.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:20:35

Single gives Tech corners with one out, and a grounder ties the game. Man on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:20:59

Wild pitch puts the go-ahead run on 2nd.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:26:51

Spiers gets a fly to end the inning. Tigers in another back-and-forth game. Can they finally win a one-run game??

TIED 6-6 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:35:53

Bryar Hawkins HBP to start the 7th!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:37:17

GREENE RBI DOUBLE!!! He has reached base all 4 times today! Tigers go back ahead 7-6 with no outs for Sharpe.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:37:51

Sharpe grounds out, Greene to 3rd. RISP with one out for Justin Hawkins.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:38:27

HAWKINS DELIVERS!!! Grounder gives Tigers an insurance run!

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:38:55

Teo infield fly ends the inning.

TIGERS LEAD 8-6 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:44:07

Good grief Tigers can’t hold a lead. Spiers strikes out the leadoff man on full count but gives up 3 straight singles to make it 8-7! Tech has 2nd and 3rd with one out.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:45:03

Ugh Spiers gives up a double, his 4th straight hit, and just like that Tech is back on top 9-8.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:47:24

Good grief another double! 3 straight singles and 2 doubles for Spiers. Tech now leads 10-8 after 4 runs this inning on 5 straight hits.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:47:51

Spiers finally gets the second out. Man on 2nd.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:49:59

Intentional walk gives Tech 1st and 2nd. Griffith in from pen with 2 outs. He hasn’t been great lately.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:55:13

Lol Griffith gives up a 3-run HR to his first batter. Like I said, he hasn’t been great lately. I don’t know what it is, but the relievers have been terrible against their first batters out of the pen this season. They almost never get the first batter out. That intentional walk cost them a run too! Tigers trail 13-8.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:56:13

Good grief Griffith gets a K but he reaches on a wild pitch. Ugh...

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 17:57:20

Griffith gets a grounder to finally end the inning! Tigers started the inning up 8-6 and gave up 7 runs.

TIGERS TRAIL 13-8 AFTER 7.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 18:22:02

Davidson singles and Byrd HBP with one out, but Wilkie grounds into a double play to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 13-8 M8.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 18:22:33

Griffith gives up a one-out triple.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 18:23:20

Griffith gets a K on full count and Hennessy comes in from the pen with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 18:24:18

Hennessy gets a grounder to strand the runner on 3rd. FINALLY a reliever gets his first batter out!

TIGERS TRAIL 13-8 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2019-04-27 18:27:45

Hawkins, Greene and Sharpe go 1-2-3.

TIGERS LOSE 13-8.

9th straight ACC loss! Looked like they were finally gonna snap it, but it fell apart in the 7th. Crawford will start on the mound tomorrow with the Tigers in danger of being swept for the third straight weekend in ACC play.
