Tigers lead 1-0 top 2nd! Bertram drew a 2-out walk with bases loaded to put them on the board in the 1st. Unfortunately, Grice struck out to strand em loaded.



TIGERS LEAD 1-0 AFTER ONE.

Tigers just scored again on a leadoff double by Grice and single by Hall! I've been at the softball game, but I'm headed over to baseball now.


TIGERS LEAD 2-0 AFTER 4.

Good grief Gordon gives up a 2-out, 3-run homer to give Duke a 3-2 lead! For some reason, Gordon is incapable of getting that 3rd out in the 5th! This is the 3rd or 4th time he's pitched great for 4.2 innings and then gives up base runners or has to come out with 2 outs, including the SCAR game.

CUTrevor 2023-03-18 13:33:07


Gordon makes a nice play on a grounder to end the inning. He is definitely a gold glove pitcher with his athleticism!



TIGERS TRAIL 3-2 M5.

Gordon stays in the game and goes 1-2-3! In the past, Bakich had always taken Gordon out when he got in trouble with 2 outs in the 4th, and the bull pen would make it worse. Guess he's changing it up this time.



TIGERS TRAIL 3-2 M6.

Good grief runner steals 2nd and Ingle's high throw goes into center field. Garris comes in from the pen with runner on 3rd and no outs! This could be a big insurance run for Duke.

Reply
CUTrevor 2023-03-18 14:39:19


Nice diving play by Grice with the infield in! Man on 3rd with one out.

Reply
CUTrevor 2023-03-18 14:41:55


Sensational play by Garris! He barehanded a comebacker and got the runner at 3rd in a run down! Unfortunately, no one was covering 2nd, so Duke has a runner on 2nd with 2 oiuts.

Reply
CUTrevor 2023-03-18 14:45:25


ANOTHER GREAT PLAY!!! Grice makes an over the shoulder catch on a foul ball right by the fence! 3 great defensive plays to get out of that jam with no outs. That was big not to give them an insurance run!



TIGERS TRAIL 3-2 M8.

CUTrevor 2023-03-18 14:49:06


Hall draws a leadoff walk! Leadoff man Cannarella is up with Ingle on deck. It's now or never for the Tigers! Cannarella is 0-3 today, so he's due.

CUTrevor 2023-03-18 14:51:11


Ugh Cannarella strikes out. Just his 3rd game without a hit! One on with one out for Ingle.

Ingle walks! 2 on with one out for Taylor, who is 2-4 today and .360 on the season!

New pitcher for Duke. He's only thrown 6,2 innings this season but has 11 K's!

Ugh Taylor fouls out after starting the at bat 2-0. Two on with two outs for Wright.

CUTrevor 2023-03-18 15:00:52


Good at bat by Wright, fouling off pitches and working the count full! A walk would load the bases for Blackwell.

Reply
CUTrevor 2023-03-18 15:01:32


Ugh Wright hits one hard to right-center, but it hangs up just long enough for the centerfielder to catch it.



TIGERS TRAIL 3-2 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

Garris strikes out the leadoff man, and Grice makes another nice play on a foul. 2 down.

Ugh Duke gets a 2-out infield single on the old swinging bunt. Lucky squib right down the 3rd base line.

Great diving catch by Hall in right! Boy, the Tigers' defense has been incredible today.

Bertram singles! Grice represents the winning run with one out! He hasn't homered all season though.

GRICE SINGLES! Corners with one out for Amick, who had the walk-off grand slam a week ago!

Ugh Amick strikes out swinging. Tigers down to their last out with Hall! Corners with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2023-03-18 15:19:57


Ugh Hall flies out to strand the tying run on 3rd. Tigers stranded runners in every inning! And the pitching and defense would have been a shutout if not for a 2-out, 3-run HR given up by Gordon! Frustrating loss...


TIGERS LOSE 3-2.



Tigers left 16 runners on base! Game 2 will begin shortly.
