#1 Texas A&M vs. #3 Ohio State: Third inning
By Jack Molitor - June 03, 2007
Shallow fly to right and an easy play made out there to start the third.
Chopper to second and an easy second out. Rivers is mowing them down. He's only allowed one hit.
Matt Angle reaches on an error. There was a grounder that ate up the shortstop. No chance when he couldn't recover. Runner at first with two gone.
HIGH FLY BALL TO RIGHT CENTER AND IT HITS THE WALL. Eric Fryer just missed a homer there. Runners hold up at second and third. Runner couldn't get home on a good relay. Still two gone.
Chopper to third and on to first and the Aggies skate by some trouble. Side retired.
Just as I had said that Rivers was pitching well, he served a meatball up to Fryer. Luckily for him he didn't pay the price.
Dalton rung up on a check swing. Tough pitch by Shuck. One away.
Fly ball to shallow right center and the center fielder comes in for the catch. Two gone.
Colligan shoots one just by the shortstop for a single. That was a hot shot. One one with two gone.
Colligan almost caught leaning at first.
This time Shuck balked. Colligan takes second. Fans and the umpire were right on top of it.
Good battle here between Hicks and Shuck. Full count. Hicks continues to foul off pitches.
Hicks gets nailed right on the back elbow. He exposed it trying to move out of the way and Shuck nailed him right there. First and second with two gone. Hicks wins the battle but pays the price.
LONG FLY BALL TO LEFT AND IT'S A THREE-RUN HOMER BY BLAKE STOUFFER! He got a hold on that one and pulled it right out of here. That's his second homer of the regional. Aggies go on top 4-0. Still two outs.
GOOD pick over at first on a hot grounder by Justin Miller. Side is retired, but the damage has been done.
Aggies make J.B. Shuck pay on a mistake to Blake Stouffer. Big three-run homer increases the Aggies lead. 4-0 A&M.
