Beavers get one in the first
Hopkins and Wong both struck out to start the inning, but Ortiz was hit, then two base hits scored Ortiz. Ogata then struck out to end the inning, but at least the Beavers got on the board first and gave Peavey a 1 run cushion.

Lennerton goes yard in the second, Beavers lead 3-0!
Drew George got on with a walk.

Bottom 5th, still 5-0
I’m liking the way this game is headed…. Peavey is doing a good job on the hill.

Peavey done for the day
Great performance in his first start in about two months….
5.1 scoreless innings, four hits, four strikeouts, two outs

USC has now scored three in the bottom of the sixth
6-3, Beavers.
--JB--

I meant 5-3.
USC scores another run… the Beaver lead is now 1. 5-4 Beavers in the fifth

Grbavac gets out of a jam
But the Trojans get four in the sixth and are right back in this game.

Seventh inning stretch time
Beavers still clinging to a one run lead

Pat Casey ejected
...he said about five words per MP
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:27 PM PDT reply actions
Rhoderick is coming in...
He needs to go 2 1/3 to save this game
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:29 PM PDT reply actions
Rhoderick hits Stock, a run comes home
All tied now

Let them back into it
Tied 5-5, and really seemed to have this one under control until the last couple innings.
-RVM
Yep
Peavey pitched good until he started to get tired. Then all this broke loose.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions
End 7
Tied at 5. How much would it suck to be Pat Casey right now.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:37 PM PDT reply actions
Yep,
Apparently he was arguing a check swing call, which is just like arguing balls and strikes (i guess). MP said it was one of the quickest ejections he’s ever seen (Casey got approx. 5 words in)

Top 8: Lennerton, Lechelt, Hopkins
8, 9, 1

Lennerton safe at first
The first baseman pulled his foot on a routine 4-3 play.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions
At least got out of that last one
With bases loaded was looking bad, but only one run damage.
Yep, need to get the bats going again.
-RVM
Yeah,
but you hate to let the guys score by virtue of a HBP
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:42 PM PDT up reply actions
good thinking
we need to win this game in whatever way we can!
--JB--

Lonnie moves the moose to second
Hopkins comes to the plate
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:41 PM PDT reply actions
Nash will come in to pinch run
Looks like Bailey and Lees are calling the shots now
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:42 PM PDT reply actions
Hopkins walks
Wong comes to the plate, 2 on, 1 out
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:44 PM PDT reply actions
Long fly out for Wong, Nash tags to third
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:44 PM PDT reply actions
Keep them coming
Don’t have radio and the Game Tracker is on big time delay, still has Lennerton batting!
-RVM
Ortiz comes to the plate with runners on the corners
2 outs. A hit here would be clutch.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:45 PM PDT reply actions
Come on Rhoderick!
We need six more outs and one run!
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:48 PM PDT reply actions
On a side note
Ellsbury’s streak ended today. Had a great single with bases loaded to break a tie, scoring two, but then was thrown out stealing and thrown out on a pitch out too (ouch!).
-RVM
were you able to watch that?
just heard about it and saw it in the boxscore
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions
Yep
TBS I think it was on, fun game something like six HRs total for both teams before I turned it off during the 7th.
-RVM
How many did he have? 24 or something like that?
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:56 PM PDT up reply actions
Lonnie Lechelt makes a great catch in shallow RF, could of had a double play back to first
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:53 PM PDT reply actions
Ammon throws out the runner to second
that double play oppertunity doesn’t matter anymore
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:55 PM PDT reply actions
Two down, bases empty
Wallace, Robertson, Ogata due in the top of the ninth
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:55 PM PDT reply actions
K-Rhod gets a K
we go to the ninth
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:55 PM PDT reply actions
Hoping
We can end it in the 9th, not all that excited about extra (but will take them if we have to).
-RVM
same
Rhoderick has already had a longer than usual outing
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Top 9: Wallace, Robertson, Ogata due
Wallace, get on base. Robertson, bunt him to second. Ogata, hit him in. It’s that easy.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 3:57 PM PDT reply actions
yep.
7-8-9 coming up for us in the top of the tenth when we get there
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Bottom 9th: Rhoderick walks the leadoff man
Is he better with runnrs on?
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 4:04 PM PDT reply actions
Sac
Rhoderick gets the guy at first. winning run is at second.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 4:06 PM PDT reply actions
ground ball to Wong
Winning run at third
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 4:08 PM PDT reply actions
okay
That was a terrible weekend…Going to need to get the remaining four I think. Shoot and I voted Green on your poll.
Should have not been swept this weekend.
-RVM
that's definitely not a good way to go out in our final Pac-10 series
If the selection committee would let us in for any reason, it seems like it would be because we finished the season on a hot streak. but we got swept in our final Pac-10 season.
--JB--
by Jake Bertalotto on May 18, 2008 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions
Yep
Hoping that if we can finish strong, which I’m afraid means a must needed win (repeating refrain here) tomorrow against Long Beach State who is ranked (correct?), then the entire/overall schedule could help the Beaver cause, oh and that we can take Pacific next weekend.
Hard to tell with things, but I feel this team has the talent and does play the top teams pretty well, so that if we can get into the post-season there is a good chance to make another run. But yes this weekend will not help the cause at all. Seriously I thought it could have been a sweep weekend, but was thinking the other team doing the sweeping!
-RVM
So
I’m a bit shocked in a way about the turn of events this last part of the season.
But I guess all-in-all it is a very good sign that we expect great things out of Casey’s teams now.
