Great to start with some clutch hitting. I feel good about this team getting some runs across against pretty much any right-handed pitcher. It's lefties who tend to slow us down, given our lineup composition.
 
Another narrow strike zone today. (is this the same home plate ump from yesterday?) That was a real issue for our pitchers yesterday. Hopefully we can keep the location good and the pitch counts down today.
 
Sooners with 2 on (1st and 2nd) with two outs.

Fielder’s Choice hit to Gallaher at 3rd and he steps on the base for the final out.

Lynch gave up a single and a walk; settled down to get the 2nd and 3rd outs. 3-0 heading to T2.

I really hate bunting this early in the game, especially with no one out. I understand that the primary point of bunting there is that French is a weak hitter and they were attempting to avoid the exact double play that happened. However, unless we're much deeper into the game, I would much prefer sending even a weak hitter up there with the mindset that he's trying to get on base.
 
Lynch walks the batter. Gaines out to the mound to talk with Lynch.

One out, one on. Gaines back to the dugout. Lynch strikes batter out. One on, 2 outs. Fly ball to right center and Bass is on it.

3-2 Heels, T3.

Wilson represented well on this team. Grads from Hunt (Bass) and Fike (Stokely) in the lineup.

Stokely's older brother (who, apropos nothing, is 6'9") is a childhood friend of my SIL. I can't remember if it was last year or the year before, but Stokely aggravated an injury and wasn't going to be able to play in some game, he told his bro who told my SIL who told me. I immediately went to the baseball board and cryptically suggested somebody was likely going to be scratched before the game, which in fact happened. It was my first and last post not only on the baseball board but on any board in which my post contained even the faintest whiff of "inside" info...
