Both teams have flashed some leatrher in the last 2 frames. From the hot robbing play of the Charleston shortstop, to the leftfield assisted double play (Catch and throw out by a mile at first). Defense has played its role here.

The key to the series, at least in my eyes, is Jeff Kindel. slightly hobbled by an injury, he has hit 2 bombs, including the one today that broke open the game, and played superb outfield, with a throw out at the plate yesterday, and doubling up a runner at first today.

As for Charleston, Graham Godfrey, normally the Cougar Friday night starter, has come in and pitched effectively. He gave up a pair of runs in the fifth, but has not allowed a runner past second since then.

We head to the bottom of the 8th, and Tech is 6 outs away from Omaha, leading the Cougars 8-2
