The Tigers survived a scare last night! They broke a 4-4 tie with 5 runs in the 9th but almost imploded the bottom half to lose the game. Bakich started the 9th, which I said I wouldn't have done because Clayton was settled in and they had a 5-run lead, and Ammons uncharacteristically laid an egg, giving up a leadoff single followed by back to back homers. And it didn't stop there. The Hokies had bases loaded with the tying run on 3rd and winning run on 2nd with only one out, and it seemed like the Tigers were toast. But a correct interference call on a double play ended the game! The throw was a split second late to 1st, and the game would have been tied if not for the interference at 2nd. The Tigers have now won two straight one-run games after losing 5 straight earlier in the season. When you're winning, the ball seems to bounce your way! They have won 12 of their last 13 and 6 straight ACC series, as well as 11 of their last 12 games away from home! Grice will be on the mound today as the Tigers go for their second straight sweep and 3rd in 4 weeks. He has been fantastic lately, setting a career high in K's in each of his last two outings. First pitch is at 3:00 on ACCN, and I'll have live updates right here! |

Happy Mother's Day! I just got back from brunch with my family, and the Tigers lead 8-3 after a 2-out solo HR by Ingle in the 6th! The Tigers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st on a 2-out single by Bertram, who has had a fantastic weekend. Hokies scored a run in the bottom half and 2 runs in the 2nd to take a 3-2 lead, but the Tigers scored 4 in the 3rd and another in the 4th. Grice walked the leadoff man on full count, and Bailey has come in from the pen.

Double play ends the inning. This is the same score by which the Tigers led in the 9th last night and fell apart. Lol TIGERS LEAD 9-4 AT THE STRETCH.

Olenchuk comes in from the pen. He pitched the 8th inning on Friday. Hopefully he can go an inning or two and then bring in Garris to close.

Good grief infield single and throwing error by Grice gives Hokies 2 runs to make it 9-6 with corners and one out. For some reason the Hokies always rally when down 9-4!
