Getting ugly now…

MTSU opens up a 10-3 lead as they bat around and still have only one out…

Rooks is done, and here comes Lou Morey…

Morey finally retires the side, but not before they do some serious damage to the one run deficit the Owls enjoyed at the beginning of the inning…

Bottom of the eighth:

Tough loss today…just when you thought Gipson was cruising - a sleeping giant woke.  The Blue Raiders proved they are a good offensive team & score a bunch of runs :-[

Important game tomorrow.

Quote of the Day: From Coach John McCormack
“We can’t give a good hitting team that many opportunities."

"In this park the margin for error for those left hand hitters, especially the ones that pull the ball right down the line is not much.  There's not much room for error the way the winds blows here.  Their guy [Burnett] did what he was suppose to do, got a good swing on it and he fouled off some very good pitches to get him to that and did what he was suppose to do."

"I didn't expect them to hit Gib's around like that.  I didn't think he was real sharp, but he was getting outs.  That team is like blood and water, they smelt it and Burnett hit that home run and got their team going and wakes the team up."

Quote of the Day: From Blue Raider Coach  Steve Peterson
"Once we got to Gipson he made some mistakes and got some balls up and we got some good extra base hits. Guidry's home run was huge and the way the wind is blowing the ball is really going to go to right field. He got one up and down the line and that really got us going, we have been a big inning team this year but the bottom of the order did some manufacturing in those two innings and I was very proud to see that. For five innings it was really bad from the seventh, eighth and ninth spots down."


"What a great pitching match-up for five innings. Everything we heard about Mike Gipson was fulfilled and he was eating our lunch. I am not from Boca Raton but this is the first time we have been in any kind of humidity and I can see where Roberts had to get a second wind early. I talked to Chad about it and we adjusted his pregame a little bit but it was a great match-up. Chad gave up one solo home run and that happens. He lost his concentration there and we were very fortunate to get out of that inning without anymore damage. After that inning he settled down and I ran his pitch count pretty high because he was feeling good and wanted to go the distance."
