Through three innings of pitching Michael is certainly struggling so far. He has managed to control the damage, but already has given five walks and two hits. He is at 74 pitches.

[Skinny1]

Starting pitcher for the Lions is 6 foot 5 inch freshman Will Kinzeler.

[Skinny1]

In the 4th inning, Lions go down 1-2-3.

Lamar leads off with hit, then flies out to center, gets a walk, then the next 2 hitters strike out/fly out to strand 2 base runners.

Cards: 0-1-2 3 lob

[Skinny1]

Top of 5th, Lions get another run after SELa gets 2 runners on, Mize brought in to relieve Michael and is greeted by a run scoring single up the middle. Cards turn double play to get out of inning.

Activity in Lions bullpen after Lamar gets lead off walk.

Cards next 3 hitters down in order.

 

End of 5 innings:

[puddin tane]

That was weird. Sela batter called out on third strike. Ball hit him, ump said he leaned into it. Didnt look like he did. We will take it

[Skinny1]

End of 6 innings. Cards strand 2 base runners.

Lions: 2-3-1 7 lob

Cards: 0-1-2 6 lob

 

Believe that might be last inning for Lions pitcher. Bull pen warming up in earnest.

hope so

[Skinny1]

Lions get 1 hit in top 7th & strand him. Lions starting pitcher still in game. About 40 Lamar FB players just came to game - very vocal!

Cards go down 1-2-3.

 

End of 7:

Lions: 2-4-1 8 lob

Cards: 0-1-2 6 lob

[geezer]

One thing seems to be consistent for the Card relievers. At least one of the runners on base when somebody comes in will score. Doesn't appear that the Cards have an overpowering reliever that can just come in and get out of an inning.

[Skinny1]

With 1 out in the 8th, Lions hit a double off the bottom of the center field wall. Mize lifted and Cole in to pitch for Cards. Lions hit sac fly to deep right, runner to 3rd. Next batter hits single to left, runner scores. Next batter flies out to right field to end inning.

 

Bottom of 8th, new pitcher for SELa. Starting pitcher gave up 1 hit in 7 innings.

 

Cards go down 1-2-3 to end the 8th inning.

 

Lions: 3-6-1 10 lob

Cards: 0-1-2 6 lob

[geezer]

Hopefully the bats show up tomorrow.

Top of 9th: Lions go down 1-2-3.

 

SELa brings in their closer RHP Hughes to pitch.

Lamar has runners at 1st & 3rd with 2 outs.

Cards fly out to deep center field to end game.

 

lions: 3-6-1 10 lob

Cards: 0-3-2 9 lob

 

Lamars worst outing at V-B this season. But SELa probably had something to do with that.
