Beavs are 2 and 0 this weekend so far with a couple come from behind victories over Utah and Portland yesterday.
Today is the second game against Portland with Tanner Robles pitching for the Beavs and LHP Scott Burris pitching for Portland.
I'm happy we're two and zip for the tournament, but a little disappointed with the overall showing so far. The Utah game was a good one, but really the Portland win was a bit lucky and a better (and deeper pitching) team would have taken the Beavs to task for the lackluster performance they had. I realize that Casey and company are trying some new looks and all and it was a long day, but here's to a much more solid overall performance today.
I'll again only be around a little bit, if at all, and realize it is a pretty nice Sunday afternoon (and everyone else is at the game no?), but pop in here if you want to talk up the game a bit! And let's also hope that SBN people have the site fixed up so it doesn't go down on us again!
Go Beavs!

After three
Portland 2 runs, 2 hits
OSU 0 runs, 0 hits
Not a great start so far, BUT the Beavs are hitting it (no SOs on our part I think yet) and Robles has settled in a bit. So I’m hoping that means with our depth and skill advantage that the Beavs will soon break this game open.
Yes, I’m a bit impatient on today’s game after the much too close ones yesterday!
-RVM
Robles has six strike outs, and Burris has zero but the Portland pitcher is the one with the no hitter going so far!
Baseball is a weird sport at times, but here’s to the Beavs breaking this one open this inning!
-RVM
Yes! 5 to 2 Beavs now! Five run fifth inning so far!
Two outs right now, but this is what I’m taking about!
And doing it with hits and forcing the issue balls in play with some nicely placed in the field balls (great bunt by Jennette), and not some hand it to us walks like yesterday.

After five
Portland 2 runs, 3 hits 1 error
OSU 6 runs, 6 hits 1 error
Santos caught stealing second, but that was a heck of an inning. Me more happy now.
-RVM
Robles beamed by a line drive in the ankle
Sitton in now and Ks the first batter he faces to close the inning.
Tanner had a good game after that rough first inning, seven SOs today and only two walks.

Another Portland pitching change
Freshman Danny Haynes pitch hitting, and hits a double to lead off the inning!
-RVM
Another nice bunt by Jennette
Beats out the throw (?) or an error (?). Not sure which one with the broadcast but still on base and runner on third.
-RVM
Bases loaded and one out
Let’s really open it up here!
Not like yesterday with that completely wasted bases loaded situation late in the game.
Yikes, another Portland pitching change!
-RVM
After eight
Still OSU 9 and Portland 2
Three more outs and this one goes into the books and Beavs go to 10 and 3.
-RVM
Ahh, nice to call it and call them out :)
I wanted a game that opened up for the Beavs, took them five innings but that is more what they should be doing against a team like Portland.
Portland is an aggressive batting team at times, but not sure I’m there with our broadcasters that they are that good to really pose a threat to a deep and talented team like OSU. They should have won yesterday though so made it a bit nervous coming into the game today for me, but all is good today.
Final box:
Portland 2 runs, 5 hits 2 errors
OSU 9 runs, 9 hits 1 error
Winner pitcher was Tanner Robles (3 and 1 now).
I’m going to the Maine game Friday so hoping today’s last few innings keep on rolling!
Go Beavs!
