Nice response to a rough start by Reyes
Hope he gets into a groove now.

That was a good inning and actually should have been more for us
bats very much alive so far today
-RVM
Bunt
Got Ortiz at 3rd.
One out.
Runners still at 1 and 2
A hit and an out
Runners advance to 3rd and 2nd
2 outs now.
k for out 3
Going into bottom of 6th
Beavs 5, Red Raiders 4
Reyes doing a decent job
However, lots of hits, a couple of hit batters and a couple of balks are keeping things tense.
He's doing enough right now
But given up some extra base hits (I think a couple doubles and a triple). So I would breathe easier if he got away from given up those.
-RVM
Pitching change for Red Raiders
Currently 2 outs
A walk and another Pitcher change for Red Raiders
Still 2 outs
Runner on First
And we started so well!
Okay, they can have the middle, now we need to get it going again and finish strong.

Interesting Stat.
17 total hits in the game.
Ouch.
Casey hit by pitch.
Runner scores
Game tied
Not the best way I guess
But we’ll take it.
I’m thinking we are pretty deep into their bullpen now and hoping we can take advantage of that.
-RVM
You would think.
They must be on there 5th or 6th pitcher.
Yep
And also fourth game into this invitation too so you would think pitching depth will win out today.
-RVM
that was great!
Ninth batter and now the top of the order up with bases loaded and one out. With the lead.
-RVM
Dang
Another base hit.
Raider runners on 1st and 2nd. :(
1 out
Out 2
Popup to shallow left.
Runners still on 1st and 2nd
2 outs
Dang Dang Dang!!!!
Base hit.
Runners now on all three bags :(
2 outs
Come on Beavs. Lets get it done.
Whew. Big sigh of relief
Out 3
Beavs-9, Red Raiders-6
going into bottom of 8th
Out 3 :(
Going into top of 9.
Beavs-9, Red Raiders-6
3 outs and we are done.
Go Beavs!!!!!
That's okay
I’m more interested in finishing strong on D, some insurance runs would have been nice, but up three with only needing three outs, well they should finish it
-RVM
He needs a strong showing here
Been off this season, a 1-2-3 with a SO or two would be awesome for him.
-RVM
K FOR OUT 3
WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Final Score
Beavers-9, Red Raiders-6
Go Beavs!!!!
Not a bad game to end the invitational series and to end 3-1 for the week
One tough but pretty good loss to a good team and some good overall wins this week.
Negative takeaway = Pitching, and I agree with what others have said already and we need to tighten this up, especially with the starters. But on the bright side Rhoderick had a great closing inning today. Looked like the old K-rod.
Positives = Offense looked good when we needed it, like today that four run inning in response to TTU’s two run inning was excellent and that is a championship type of offensive response. Sure would have been nice to have a bit more against Oklahoma State (but probably would have been if they didn’t beam out our hot hitter in Wallace! :) ), but still five runs is not bad against a very good pitcher and some solid relievers.
Another positive was the defense this week was very solid I thought. Yesterday’s game against UC Riverside really was good on defense and that side of things really won the game for us.
Last positive is even with some questions about pitching we are off to a very good start to the year and if we keep this up should be going into the Pac-10 part of the season pretty strong.
Long ways to go, but seeing some nice things so far.
