WSU 15, UE 5 going to the bottom of the eighth: Shockers need three outs for a run rule.
WSU 13, UE 5 in the seventh: Dirks hit a three-run home run.
WSU 10, UE 5 in the sixth: Here’s a game that begging to be run-ruled. Instead, WSU is keeping the Aces in it with four errors. None of the Evansville runs are earned.
WSU 9, UE 2 after four: WSU hands the Aces two runs with a ill-conceived pickoff play. Rob Musgrave lobbed the throw past Tyler Hill with the bases loaded. Two runs scored, and nobody is sure why the Shockers would try to execute that play with a 9-0 lead and two outs.
WSU 9, UE 0 after three: WSU shortstop Dusty Coleman ended the third with another spectacular play. The Aces had runners on second and third. Greg Wallace smashed one toward second and COleman had just enough time to backhand it. He fell to the dirt, popped up and threw out Wallace.
WSU 5, UE 0 bottom of the first: The Aces commit two errors and starter Zach Taylor walked the first two batters.
It’s cloudy but I don’t think there will be any problems with rain tonight. Conor Gillaspie is in the lineup, which is good news for the offense. Mitch Caster will play left in place of Kenny Williams. Clinton McKeever will DH and Tyler Hill is at first.
The Shockers should sweep. They need to sweep.
