Long Beach: And The Crowd Wakes Up

By Lara Boyko - June 01, 2007

It's the bottom of the fourth inning and with the score still at 0-0, there hasn't been much for Long Beach State's fans -- which out-number the UIC fans about 10-1 -- to cheer about.

However, with the swing of the bat by Robert Perry, that all changed.

Perry just hit a nice line drive down the first base side to advance Danny Espinosa to third. Espinosa originally got to third on a walk, but it was Perry's -- and the team's -- first hit of the game that woke everyone up.

After Brandon Godfrey struck out swinging there are now two outs.

With one strike away from being able to get out of the inning unscathed, the Flames' second baseman just earned the first error of the game and Espinosa came home.

Stay tuned...
