Keyshawn Askew will be on the mound for the Tigers at 3:00 as they try to keep the momentum going from their 4 straight wins and dominant 11-3 win last night. Caden Grice hit HR's in each of his first 3 at bats last night with 8 RBI's.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 14:56:18

Askew gets a big K swinging to keep the game tied. Too bad Parker couldn't keep that 2-out rally going with bases loaded last inning!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:31:41

Askew gets a K swinging on full count, and they double steal. 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:32:39

Good grief 2-out double scores 2 runs to make it 3-1. Those damn walks have killed the Tigers all season! Also the catcher's interference cost them another run.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:33:59

Good grief, Hall makes a throwing error at 2nd to give them another run! Mistakes have cost the Tigers 3 runs this inning.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:35:10

Askew gets a K swinging to strike out the side, but mistakes cost the Tigers 3 runs! Can't make mistakes against this Louisville team unless you're gonna hit 4 HR's like the Tigers did last night.

TIGERS TRAIL 4-1 M4.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:36:07

Brewer sac bunts and reaches on a throwing error! Run scores to make it 4-3! Corners with no outs for Sharpe, who reached last time on an error but is in a miserable slump. Hope for a sac fly here! even a double play would tie the game.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 15:58:37

New pitcher for Cards.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:01:02

Hawkins flies out. 2 on with one out for Teo.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:22:43

Teo hit by a pitch! Bases loaded with one out for leadoff man Hall!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:23:58

Good grief Hall grounds into a double play to strand em loaded. Too bad he's not having a game like he had last night with 2 walks and a homer! 2nd time the Tigers have stranded the bases loaded. They should have at least gotten the go-ahead run there.

TIED 4-4 AFTER 5.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:25:01

Askew strikes out the side for the 2nd time today, but this time he goes 1-2-3! He has 9 K's in 6 innings.

TIED 4-4 M6.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:27:39

Meredith hit by a pitch to lead off!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:28:44

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:29:56

Meredith advances to 2nd on a passed ball! RISP for Grice.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:30:27

Meredith steals 3rd! Full count to Hack.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:33:27

TIED 4-4 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:36:02

Askew starts the 7th with a 97 pitch count.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:37:45

Askew strikes out the leadoff man swinging! His 10th of the game!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:38:47

Good grief Cards get a one-out double on a lazy shallow fly to left. Not played very well by Meredith.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:39:46

I might intentionally walk the .400 hitter with 1st base open if I'm Monte.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:40:59

Askew gets a big grounder on 0-2! Runner to 3rd with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:43:40

Ugh Askew hits the batter on a 2-2 pitch after 2 consecutive check swing strikes. The batter was hitless today too! Corners with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:44:35

Ugh Monte brings Hughes in from the pen. Don't like that call at all. Hughes almost always gives up a run when he comes in with RISP. I would have gone with Hoffmann, Gilbert or Clayton.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:54:52

Lol Hughes walks the bases loaded. Did I call it or what?? Monte wisely brings in Gilbert from the pen.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:55:33

Gilbert gets a huge K looking to strand em loaded!

TIED 4-4 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:56:18

BREWER LEADOFF DOUBLE!!! Great time for his first hit of the game!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:57:08

RISP for Sharpe, who singled last time and reached on an error. I'm bunting Brewer to 3rd if I'm Monte, but he probably won't.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 16:58:17

Sharpe flies out, Brewer tags to 3rd! As good as a sac bunt! RISP for Hawkins, who is 1-3. Need another fly for the lead!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:02:00

Hawkins walks on full count! Corners with 2 outs for Teo, who is 1-2 with a HBP. NO DOUBLE PLAY!!!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:02:41

Teo squares to bunt and takes it for a ball.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:07:41

Ugh Teo strikes out looking on full count. Ball looked high and inside. Corners with 2 outs for Hall, who is 1-4 with 2 K's. He grounded into a double play to strand the bases loaded.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:08:10

Hawkins takes 2nd! Two RISP with 2 outs for Hall. Need a clutch 2-out hit!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:09:23

Hall walks! Bases juiced for Meredith, who is 1-1 with a triple, a walk and 2 HBP's! He's reached all 4 times today. Knock on wood!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:11:12

UGH Meredith grounds out on the second pitch to strand em loaded. 3rd time the Tigers have stranded em loaded today! They've had a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs a couple times. 13 left on base!

TIED 4-4 AFTER 7.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:20:27

Gilbert goes 1-2-3 with a K!

TIED 4-4 M8.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:21:12

Parker continues to struggle, striking out swinging on 3 pitches.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:23:17

GRICE IS NICE!!! His 4th HR in 2 games, opposite field for the 3rd time! Team-leading 12th of the season puts Tigers up 5-4!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:23:30

Hack singles!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:32:48

Brewer flies out and Sharpe strikes out swinging. 3 outs away from clinching though!

TIGERS LEAD 5-4 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:33:49

Hoffmann starts the 9th and gives up a one-out single. Louisville's .400 hitter represents the go-ahead run!

CUTrevor 2021-05-01 17:35:47

4-6-3 DOUBLE PLAY ENDS THE GAME!

TIGERS WIN GAME TWO 5-4 TO CLINCH SERIES!!!

6 straight wins for the Tigers! Wow, if they can sweep tomorrow, it's a whole new season! I'll have post-game interviews shortly!
