Currently pouring in Blacksburg.

And from the looks of radar it's going to get worse before it gets better.

There's always the spelling bee on ESPN2. They're on the edge of their seats for -

"bearnaise sauce"​

 

[ATLDYKA]

Is there any timeframe for first pitch?

Great start for Marzi. 2 k's in the first

 

[ATLDYKA]

Walks, Waks, Walks, they are a killer and always come back to get you.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Testani stares at 2 pitches right over the plate. Good thing his fielding has been good because his bat is a real liability for us right now.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Now Marzi hits the lead off batter in the 3rd which would have been ball 4 anyway. Can't keep walking the leadoff guy. Not looking as sharp as game goes on.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Marzi has no control of his pitches today. All over the place.

 

[Bezzz]

I just want you to know you're not talking to yourself.

Nice to get out of trouble with just 1 run. These are the comeback kids.

 

[huskymedic]

I think they oiled up the turf... Home field advantage!
(yes, I know it was the rain).

I feel like I am with their play so far today. Another tough break on the steal. Things not going well so far today, no breaks.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Marzi's wildness is also getting him a squeezed plate. Not getting some close pitches that the VA Tech pitcher is.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Back to our mid season form. Swinging at first pitches, everyone upper cutting and easy fly outs.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Got a break there. Think he was safe at third. Hard to believe but only down 2-0 and certainly within reach. Seems like it should be worse.

 

[Bezzz]

Beautiful relay and out throw to nail the guy at third. Can we score a run? Or two? pretty please.

 

[Bezzz]

Wait, this is Markey vs. Marzi? Anybody with a Z in their name trumps!

 

[ATLDYKA]

What in the world are you thinking there trying to score McDowell? You would have had 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Why did you try to score him in that situation? It wasn't even close. Boneheaded.

 

[huskymedic]

Nice throw... . That was a tough play to make.

Was he sent or did he run through stop sign?

 

[cohenzone]

Just started watching. Did he try to score on his own or was he sent? There were no outs. Bad play. And it just cost a run on the ground out.

 

[cohenzone]

And the bad base running screwed them.

Found the answer...

Okay. Bunt successful, Hokies threw it away. One scores, but Penders got greedy, sent McDowell and he was thrown out at plate. #uconnmen ..

 

[Bezzz]

And the bunt by Paul to load the bases I said here comes the double play.
