5-0 BC top of the 1st, RBI double down the corner scores two more. We did finally get an out though!

This will do wonders for the RPI.

Jesus Christ BC just tried to steal home and got gunned down to mercifully end the top of the 1st.

Does Chone James pronounce his name like Shawn/Sean or does it rhyme with Bone?

Trying to be cute. Hope we post 6 this inning!

We did have a 22-16 game against them in our series with them — and had 5- and 9-spots.

Just need to put some crooked numbers up and hope things settle down on the mound. All you can ask for.

BC’s guy on the mound is very good though. Freshman #2 starter but he’s been their best guy all year.

My understanding is that it’s pronounced like Shawn.

It hasn’t been entirely his fault up to this point, but something just isn’t right with Jay tonight.

And out comes BOC. Bryson Moore will enter the game, BC has two on with one out in the top of the 2nd.

Agreed, after that interference call he seemed really tight.

BC is on pace to swipe 27 bags tonight.

Holy shit.

7-2 BC top of the 2nd, wild pitch runner comes home from 3rd, Ference throws home but Moore is late to cover and the ball ends up out of play as another runs scores behind it. This has been an inauspicious start.

Every kid I played high school baseball with could slide step when runners were on base but pitchers at UVA can’t? Unreal

The bingo card is filling up. Three errors, a balk, a catcher’s interference, six SB given up, wild pitch….

Made note of that on another board, Jay is gonna have to learn a slide step in order to have success in the pros. He gets away with it in college by having a really good pickoff move and being able to use it an unlimited amount of times, but his delivery out of the stretch takes AGES.

7-3 BC bottom of the 2nd, Becker delivers again with a two out RBI single up the middle to score Hanson. Hoos have runners on the corners with two down still in the frame.
