Kay has got a couple of former teammates coming up on the list. First Marzi, then Cross.

 

[dbmill]

Four strikeouts for Kay today so far ties him with another Anthony (Marzi) on the all time K list.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Oh how we long for the days of Clarksville, TN.

 

[dbmill]

1-0 East Carolina after 5 innings. 7 strikeouts for Kay and he is doing well. Anthony is doing his job, the offense has to start doing theirs.

 

[dbmill]

Oh how we long for the days of Clarksville, TN.

That weekend is shaping up as the biggest anomaly of the season.

 

[dbmill]

Earlier in the game Chris Jones mentioned that with Krueger and Stefanski out with injuries that Nico Darras is available to be used as a pinch hitter.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hill gives us absolutely nothing offensively. I know there was mention of one of the FR Jack L being out with injury but could be back later in the year. Is that a possibility at this point or will they just redshirt at this point?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Come on Duff, just need a Sac fly here.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Strike out, then we get the fly out.

We're off to extra frames for the third time this season. Huskies are 1-1 in such contests in 2016. #HookC

I haven't heard anything about Lambrecht recently. I'm guessing he will redshirt.

 

[huskymedic]

Frustrating thing all year has been that they can play with any team and also lose to any team!
