Baseball vs Vandy

since Eades has been struggling badly as of late, freshman Nola replaces him as our Saturday starter tonight

Nola has a 6-2 record, 3.90 ERA, 57 Ks in 62 innings and opponents are hitting .246 against him. he was taken in the 22nd round of the draft

Vandy counters with lefty Sam Selman of Austin, TX, who has a 7-3 record, 4.25 ERA, 60 Ks in 53 innings and opponents are hitting .240 against him. he was taken in 14th round of the draft (the starting pitcher LSU faced yesterday was taken in 48th round of draft)

 

last season, Vandy humiliated us at their place, sweeping us 11-3, 10-1, 10-7

this is not forgotten the guys that started that series: Rhymes, Austin Nola, Ross, Jones, Hanover, Dozar

and the guys that pitched that series Gausman, Cotton, McCune, Rumbelow, Berry, etc

 

Saturday night game: For others like me (East Texas) that don't get DISH 423 where the game is supposedly being broadcast, it's blacked-out on espn3.com for me as well... here's a link to watch it live via internet: http://www.justin.tv/lsuball#/w/3063634864/13

vandy takes game 2

vandy was preseason top 10 and has the product of several #1 recruiting classes on their team

 

Nola puts LSU up 3-2 with RBI single

 

Nola puts LSU up 4-3 with RBI sac fly in bot 8

now Goody taking mound to try for his 10th save

 

facing a full count, this guy just hit a lead off home run to tie it up 4-4

 

Vandy goes up 5-4 in top of 10th

 

Tigers fail to score in the 10th and lose 5-4

 

Goody had been so good this year, one bad pitch. Oh well, hope that he goes on another great streak and doesn't let the blown save effect him.
