#1 Texas A&M vs. #2 Louisiana-Lafayette: Third inning

By Jack Molitor - June 02, 2007


Another bunt for a hit by the Aggies. Brian Ruggiano drags it down first and Moody's throw is high, pulling first baseman off the bag. Leadoff man on.

Yet another bunt single. Ben Feltner deadens it very adroitly into the grass right in between the mound and the plate. No chance for pitcher or catcher with his speed. First and second with no outs.

Aggies are starting to get to the Cajuns with speed. It's one thing they have a preponderance of. Cajuns need to be on their toes as the Aggies may try it again with another fast hitter coming up.

Hunter Moody comes way inside and it hits Brandon Hicks. Golden opportunity here for A&M with the bases juiced and no one out.

Moody comes back nicely and punches out Aggies slugger Stouffer looking. One gone, bases still loaded.

High popup to shallow right is easy for out number two. Aggies are blowing this chance. Moody is one out from working out of a serious jam.

Strike three swinging and what a clutch job of pitching by Hunter Moody. Aggies leave the bases loaded. Cajuns keep the slim lead.

Matt Casbon leads off the Cajun's third with a single lined between third and short. Leadoff man on.

Bunt to third baseman Ruggiano who gets the lead runner. It was a little to hot to be effective. Runner at first now with one out. Devon Bourque is the runner.

The speedy Josh Logan reaches on a fielder's choice. He was too fast for that to be a double play. The throw was bad and almost an error. Runner at first with two gone.

Logan gets picked off at first. Nicholson caught him leaning. Inning over.

Well, Aggie fans got really pumped after that pickoff. Let's see if the offense can parlay the energy into something to tie the game.
