Rubber match in Columbia is at 1:30! The Tigers had the series-clinching win in their grasp yesterday but let a 3-run lead and late 4-run lead slip away thanks to walks and hit batters by the bull pen. They had just 3 of those on Friday night and 10 yesterday, leading to several runs. That also woke up the Gamecocks' offense, which had been stifled for just 2 runs over 14 innings by the Tigers! The loss snapped a 5-game win streak over the Gamecocks. Caden Grice was ejected in the 9th inning yesterday for arguing a called strike 3. He also complained about a low strike 3 call in his first at bat. No one seemed to know yesterday whether he would be eligible for today's game. If he is, Bakich told me that he was a candidate to get his first start on the mound. He has not pitched yet this season. Because of the late basketball game last night, I will not be in Columbia for this game for the first time in 8 years, but I'll have live updates at 1:30 right here! |

' Barlow will get the start on the mound today, and Nathan Hall will make his first start in right. Abrams will make his 2nd career start at DH after going 1-4 yesterday with a pinch-hit homer on Friday.

Ugh Hall grounds out, Bertram flies out and Ingle grounds out to strand Abrams at 2nd. Golden opportunity to tie missed! Should have had Hall bunt him over to 3rd. TIGERS TRAIL 2-1 M4.

Hall strikes out swinging on 3 pitches, Corbitt pinches for Bertram and pops up, Ingle flies out to end the game. TIGERS LOSE 7-1. The Tigers swept the Gamecocks last year, won 5 straight and were on the doorstep of taking this series yesterday, but the bull pen let them down. The Tigers now have a losing record for the first time this season at 5-6. They have a pair of midweek games on Tuesday and Wednesday. |
