Belmont here for three, starting at 6PM today (Thurs).
SIU let's Belmont tie it in the 9th but wins it in the bottom of the 11th on a walk off home run by Matt Shark.
I turned it off up 3 going into the 8th, I think, feeling pretty confident of an easy win. I should've known.
We were fortunate to win that game. Their reliever was outstanding and had only given up two extra base hits all year - doubles. I think at one point he struck out 4 Dawgs in a row - top of the order. He threw enough that we may not see him again this weekend. Shark, who is a big dude, hit what appeared to be a popup down the right field line which just made it out for the win.I turned it off up 3 going into the 8th, I think, feeling pretty confident of an easy win.

Bonzagni came in to relieve for us and he was pretty good - big old curve ball. Whoever pitched the 8th for us got pounded (Harper I think).
Ty for these updates kind sir
Dawgs beat Belmont 6 to 1. Jordan Bloemer pitched great and outdueled the MVC's ERA leader. Dermondy was great in relief. Chrisman hit another home run.
Game tomorrow at 2 on ESPN 3.
We finally got some really good pitching performances. That was the longest Bloemer has gone all year, and Dermondy was feeling it in relief.
Hopefully they get a good crowd today. The weather looks nice.
Baseball is in a tie game headed to the 11th inning with Belmont looking for a sweep
Shark hits a long fly to left center and BU outfielders almost crash - centerfielder drops the ball. Dawgs win.
Dawgs left a million guys on base today and hit into 5 or 6 double plays. Once again had good pitching and Dermondy closed it out.
INSU won in 10 against Redturds. Tied with us for first at 8 - 1.

ISU blue is 7-1, go for 8-1 tomorrow against ISU red.
Quite the weekend for this team. They are fun to watch. That game yesterday should've been a blowout.
InSU goes to Belmont next weekend. It'd be nice for Belmont to take that series.
We get SEMO on Tuesday and then another big series against Evansville before going to Terre Haute.

Belmont's a pretty good team - they've got some pitching talent. Dawgs are really starting to hit the ball and the pitching was pretty darn good this series. We left a lot runs on the base.
SEMO here Tuesday at 6PM. Should be 70 and sunny at game time.
Evansville just pounded our pitching today 10 - 2.
Even the presence of the SIU cheerleaders didn't help!
