NC State Game 3

[BP Joe]

If he was allowed to swing away there, might have been base hit instead. I don't get it.

 

[BP Joe]

Great job by Lala, btw.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Lala got the job done getting Riveria over to 3rd. Was ready to pull my hair out as Lala took strike one and then made the same mistake as Vilar pushing at the ball when bunting. Lala has to remember he's sacrafice bunting. He's used his technique when he's bunting for a hit which is wrong.

Glad he got the job done!!! Now we need Zamora to drive in Rivera.

Sac fly ties it up

 

[BP Joe]

There you go - a 3 - 0 fly ball. let's go.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Great job by Zamora driving in the tying run!! No question to swing at 3-0 because if Zamora walked, the double play ball would be in order.

Federman enters the game in the top of the 8th

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Fedderman starts the 8th. I would have left Maury in. Maury had a very good inning. You don't know how many innings this tie game is going to go.

 

[BP Joe]

Great job by Zamora driving in the tying run!! No question to swing at 3-0 because if Zamora walked, the double play ball would be in order.

Agree, and Del Castillo looks sluggish at the plate today.

 

[scane]

Federman sets them down in order

 

[BP Joe]

Hitting is contagious - let's string a few together this inning.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Great shutdown 9th inning by Federman!!

Let's take the lead and close out the 9th.

 

[rok]

Will DiMorris bunt Toral??

 

[scane]

Gil with the lead off double. Is Toral bunting?

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Oh yah!!! Gil going oppo for a double!!! Need to take the lead here in the 9th. A crooked number would be even better.

 

[BP Joe]

I'd consider pinch hitting for him w the LH in the game.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Toral has got to put the ball into play to get Gil over to 3rd.

 

[scane]

Not bunting

 

[rok]

You have to bench Toral.
Gil at 1B, Escala at 3B.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Come on Toral. Put it in play!!!
