Uggh.

The heart of the lineup couldn’t produce a tying run. Gotta hold the line in the top of the ninth and have the bottom of the order find some magic in the bottom.

But the body English of the team since the error seems pretty down.
 
1-2-3 inning

Three outs left for the Diamond Heels to make some magic.
 
K to end the game and the Heels season comes to an end.

Harsh to see this season collapse on fielding error but the bats didn’t come through to get us any insurance runs while Lynch pitched a masterpiece.

Dammit.

Yup. We did the equivalent of airballing two free throws to ice the lead with 45 seconds left. No clutch genes.
 
Why does a fielding error on a routine play seem to cost them so often in the CWS? The year they had the title in the bag imploded because of a bad throw to first on a routine grounder. And today it was a routine double play that was bobbled.

2 of the 3 phases were subpar today.
 
Also, why didn't the coach send the runner on 1st to 2nd when they had 1 out and a runner on 1st and 3rd? Would have eliminated the double play.

Guys had a great season. Obviously hate to see it end like that.

I feel I failed them as a fan … I had several fan jinx moments the last two days. Yesterday before the game I started thinking ahead to how to manage a family event next weekend during the CWS. Sooooo dumb!

Then today finished my book too soon — in the 7th inning! I’ve been reading the same novel in the regionals between inning and during AZ at bats to keep calm and got into it and finished too quickly. Right after the error I tried reading the acknowledgements and then started another book but it was too late. Gaaaaah.

I feel like I need to write them a fan apology.
 
That's a heart-breaking way to lose a game and end your season. Just heart-breaking.

I hope the rest of the team is able to pick VDB up. I know he's got to feel terrible.

Well, it was a good run that just came up a bit short of where it felt like it should have.
 
Been fun watching Stokely hit the ball this season. He weighed a buck 90 his senior year of hs and overcame injuries.
Other than the ace I think the pitching staff has been overrated. Forbes didn’t give the staff and bullpen clear roles. Comparing them to 07-08 pitching staffs was ridiculous for that reason.

Cruel sport for sure. I still feel bad for Garret Gore. I think it was him that cost us title against Oregon State making routine throw from second. My grandad was coach at UNC back in the day and was speaker with coach Fox at a hot stove. My grandad told Coach Fox he felt so bad for him (Gore) obsessively and every time I watched UNC baseball with him till he passed he’d bring up how bad he felt for him, all he could think about. Another relative of mine came to UNC from Wesleyan with Coach Fox. No other program in the country more deserving of a national title than UNC. My Pirates should have a CWS appearance and Heels should have multiple titles. How the game goes just like life.
