Tigers lose game 1 at NC State 6-1

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 15:03:01

Mat Clark will get the start tonight at 6:30 rather than the usual Friday starter, Davis Sharpe. Clark has lost his last couple starts since starting 7-0. The Tigers have hit 7 HR's in their last 2 games and beat The Citadel 17-3 on Wednesday night. They’ve scored 88 runs in the last 10 games but pitching has been the problem. Fortunately, they get Weatherly and Jones back after serving a 4-game suspension.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:39:10

Green one-out single. He had 2 hits the other night. Second straight game Monte has put him in the 2 hole ahead of Davidson.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:40:19

Davidson HBP! 2 on with one out for Byrd, who has been on fire. Reached base all 5 times Wednesday with 2 HR’s, has 6 HR’s last 6 games.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:41:52

Ugh Byrd flies out and Green is doubled up at 2nd to end the inning.

SCORELESS M1.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:45:54

Good grief Clark gives up a leadoff single and a homer. Apparently a little rusty after not pitching for 2 weeks. He’s only pitches once in over a month.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:47:34

Clark bounces back with a fly, a K and a grounder to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 2-0 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:56:36

JUSTIN HAWKINS 2-OUT DOUBLE!! He took a full count pitch down the left field line. He’s really come on late after hardly playing most of the season and starting 0-8. He’s now batting .283 with a couple homers in the last 2 weeks. RISP for Fairey, who hit his first homer on Wednesday with 4 RBI’s.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 17:58:12

Ugh Fairey flies out on full count.

TIGERS TRAIL 2-0 M2.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:06:02

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:07:23

Clark gets a K and then gives up a single. Corners with one out.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:08:33

Ugh bunt single scores another run. 2 on with one out.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:10:25

Good grief Hawkins gets the force at 3rd but throws the ball away going for 2 and another run scores. Man on 2nd with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:11:15

Clark walks the batter on 4 pitches. Hope he doesn’t go in the tank. 2 on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:12:55

Clark gets a K swinging to end the inning. Pitching and defense continues to be a weakness.

TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 AFTER 4.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 18:59:58

Teo draws a one-out walk on full count. Tigers have had at least one base runner every inning but haven’t been able to put together a rally.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:01:28

Wow Hall sac bunts Teo to 2nd. Don’t know if that’s Monte resorting to small ball or trying to get a bunt single. RISP with 2 outs for Green.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:02:16

Green HBP. New pitcher for State. That’s surprising with no runs allowed. 2 on with 2 outs for Davidson.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:03:16

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:12:48

TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:34:45

TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:37:46

Sommerfeld atarts the 7th on the mound. Rough start fir Clark but he found his groove the last 4 innings.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:46:36

Ugh Sommerfeld gives up 2 walks to start the inning. Bull pen just can’t stop walking batters. Hennessy in from pen. Guarantee he doesn’t get the first batter out.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:47:44

Holy cow Hennessy strikes out his first batter! Can’t remember the last time a releiever came in and got an out. The reverse-jinx worked! 2 on with one out.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:48:24

Line drive for the 2nd out.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:49:04

Lol of course 2-out single scores 2 runs. As usual, walks plague the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 19:49:48

Grounder ends the inning one batter too late.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-0 AFTER 7.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 20:10:23

Byrd one-out walk on full count, but once again the Tigers can’t string together some offense. Bryar Hawkins pinch hit for Greene and struck out swinging to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-0 M8.

CUTrevor 2019-05-10 20:14:35

Teo strikes out looking on full count and Hall pops up on full count to end the game. Hall was 0-4.

TIGERS LOSE 6-1.
