Two out, runner on 2nd, 0-2 count, get this out. strike three called.
Free baseball.
A single and a walk to start off T10.
Top of the order.
Bunt single. Bases loaded, no outs.
Bases loaded, none out
Proctor fans.
One out.
Deep, cleansing breath.
Kone pops out weakly.
That really hurts.
Conine fans with bat on shoulder.
Duke certainly has squandered some opportunities.
Five straight Duke batters reached base without Duke scoring a run.
Jarvis out for B10. Saving DeCaster for tomorrow.
Duke had bases loaded, no outs, top of the 10th in a tie game with the heart of your order up.
No runs scored. That could be the game. Wake just needs a run to pull this out.
"There can BE only one."
Bases loaded, none out, only needing a single run? No excuse for that.
Struck out the side. On to the 11th.
"There can BE only one."
Jarvis puts up 1-2-3 in B10.
Louisville has to be loving this. They're off today, resting, while Duke is in extra innings.
Louisville should take Wake out to eat after this, regardless of outcome. Wake saved their stud starting pitcher for Duke, costing Wake any chance at their season. And Wake going all out today. I don't blame them for trying to win their last game. But lots of extra innings in day 1 of what should have been a meaningless tourney game is not ideal. At this point, hopefully we can win it and build some character with the tough win.
I was thinking of a safety squeeze when Kone was up with one out.
The problem with a suicide squeeze in that situation is that you greatly increase the risk of taking the bat out of Conine's hands.
I know, I know. But in the aggregate, Duke wants Conine up in that situation.
New pitcher for Wake.
Anthony Menendez. Only 22 IP this year. Time to unlimber the bats.
