#4 Le Moyne vs #1 Texas A&M: Eighth inning

By Jack Molitor - June 01, 2007


Left fielder runs down a popup to short left. Out number one for the Aggies.

Craig Stinson nails a pitch to deep center field. Le Moyne unable to corral it properly and it's a triple. He really tagged that thing.

Blevins will now intentionally walk Anders to set up the double play. A&M fans now start to chant "ball five," hoping for the result of the next pitch. Runners at the corners with one gone.

That will do it for Bobby Blevins who really pitched well. 7.1 innings and five runs surrendered but he really only had two bad innings. The new pitcher is Dolphin's closer Ryan Woods. He has some really good numbers this season. 7-1 with 14 saves and a 1.31 ERA. Brodie Greene comes in to pinch run at third for A&M.

Pitchout with the runner running on the first pitch is high and wild. Both runners advance and A&M scores to make it 6-2. Runner at third with one out.

Suicide squeeze by Colligan works to success. 7-2 now is the score for the Aggies and Colligan advances to second.

Colligan now steals third without a throw. The wheels are starting to fall off for Le Moyne and the crowd is really getting into it. Still only one out.

Check swing by Ruggiano turns into a grounder right to third. Runner at third stays put and Ruggiano is out at first. Two gone now.

Parker Dalton barely misses legging out an infield hit but a good play at short by Parrino gets him. Side retired.

A&M did what it needed to do: Get some insurance. They now lead 7-2 going into the ninth inning and momentum. The fans, almost all Aggies, stand and sing the alma mater without music. Truly an amazing display of fan loyalty.
