So it took us 5 acc series to win 5 games. The last two conference series we won 5 games. Go figure lol
Craig was intentionally walked with 2 outs, then took 2nd on a pitch in the dirt. Fairchild then hit a laser down the LF line. Great drama at The Couch...

Fox is a chickenshit for intentionally walking Craig in the 9th. Thrilled that we made him pay.
Probably a sound strategy. Obviously didn't work out this time.
"the book" play is probably to walk the best hitter on the other team, then pitch to a hitter who isn't as good, even with a runner on. The strategy is that Craig is not going to beat you with one swing of the bat. Didn't work this time, but might have another time. The pitch in the dirt getting him to second was also a big help for Wake.
Unfortunately, I think the exam break is coming at a really inopportune time since our guys seem to be on a roll right now. Would imagine that it can only hurt that momentum.
The key to this winning streak hasn't been hot hitting...........
It's been playing cleaner baseball. Less walks, HBP and errors. We keep those contained, and we can play with anybody.
