Bear Down Wildcats

The Butcher wrote:Any TV? Or is this one on ESPN 3 too?

They haven't mentioned anything yet. The ESPN3 feed has been fairly poor on my computer.

Just announced that Dalbec is pitching.

Sam Houston State has a big advantage going into this game.

1-0 but we are threatening. Is that because they haven't played today Greg?

Edit: now 1-1 in the third inning

Yep. It's my understanding that it's hot and humid there today and the Cats have already played 3+ hour game. However, they look pretty good so far other than the one throwing error.

A triple and 2 doubles give the Cats a 3-1 lead, and the Bearcats go to the bullpen.

Great job Dalbec! He had runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out and kept them there. The guy is money.

Cats get another one, but leave a small village on the bags.

Two run triple gives the Cats a 6-2 lead.

ASSu eliminated and Washington is down 7-0 in an elimination game.

Cameron Ming comes in at the bottom of the 7th.

6-4 Cats.

Tough inning for the Cats. Take a 6-5 lead into the 8th.

Cats hang on and win 6-5. Need to beat ULL twice tomorrow.

Game starts at 11:00AM Tucson time.

4 games over 2 days is a lot to ask for a team.

good gawd that was scary. We are definitely going to earn it if we have to win twice tmmrw on their field

40 wins this year in JJ's first year. Definitely out performed expectations

It's going to take a Christmas miracle to win two in a row tomorrow. Our pitching is just spent at this point.

6/6/16.....seems like some good numbers to have a miracle on this date

85 degrees...75% humidity...going to be a tough day to win 2

good start, up by 3

5-0 bottom of 4. (cats are home team)

6-3

Come on Cats, bring this one home!

Close double play to keep it 6-3. Only need to get 3 more outs and game 2 here we come.

Cats Win!!! 6-3

The game will be played tonight! Pressure is now on them. Yesterday was an error filled game, solid today. Hopefully another solid game tonight.

I take it this is one of those games where we try to get an inning from everybody except maybe Bannister?

UNC Wilmington is doing the exact same thing (starting a guy today who pitched Friday) and I'm sure others are as well. Not saying it's right, but also not sure why Law is singling out Arizona. The way these series are set up it's a recipe for overusing the best pitchers.

He is not singling out Arizona I just cherry picked those for the board's benefit. He, along with a couple other writers, are just very against college coaches that over work Ps for the benefit of the program. His rants over the years against TCU are awesome.

Absolutely Chi. Plus, you'd think that Bannister was telling the coaches that he wanted to go again today.

Sorry to say but even if the guys were able to pull it out today, which I don't expect because of LLU hitters. They're going to T-off on our tired over used arms.

Our pitchers arms are going to be shot for the next round.

Its no one's fault, its just the way it is with so many games back to back. We just don't have the depth yet in JJ's first year.

Guys appear a bit loose. I like it.

Looks like it's ESPN3 again and the Cats are the home team.

Up 2-0 in the first!

2-0 cats. Bottom of first

No outs. I think....

Great start. How come the Cats are the home team?

Found this from an older site.

For the initial regional rounds of the tournament, the higher seeded team is always the home team. Once the initial regional round is completed, the NCAA uses the following three step process:

Step 1) The team has been the home team fewer times during the tournament becomes the home team.

Step 2) If both teams were the home team the same number of times, count the number of times each team was the visiting team during the tournament. The team that was the visiting team more often during the tournament becomes the home team.

Step 3) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times and the teams met previously during the tournament, the visitor in the immediately preceding game between the two teams becomes the home team.

Step 4) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times and the teams did not previously meet during the tournament, the team that was the visitor in its most recent, preceding game becomes the home team.

Step 5) If both teams were the home team and visiting team the same number of times, the teams did not previously meet during the tournament, and both teams were the visitor (or home team) in their most recent, preceding game, then the home team is decided by a coin flip.

The Cats have something like 13 doubles in this regional.

Yep

3-0, end of the 3rd inning.

Ginkel is looking pretty good right now. How short of a leash does Johnson have on him?

He has to pitch as many innings as he can, the arms are tired. Dalbec and Ming can pitch.

Ginkle gives up a HR. Cats 3-1 in the 4th.

Ginkel almost gives up a 2nd HR. He may be tiring. 3-1 Cats bottom of 4th inning.
