Hope is not a good strategy I guess.

Purdue brought their hitting shoes and are hitting the ball HARD.

6-0 Purdue.

Heading to the bottom of the 4th.
 
With 2 outs and a 3-2 pitch, Anthony homers to left field, 3 RBI (3-2); Williams scored; Seegers scored.

Iowa started the inning down 6. Now down 6-4

Heading to the 6th inning

Bottom of 6th:

STEPHEN in to pitch for WENDELL

Stephen has a 6.75 ERA

Hopefully Iowa can take advantage.


and take advantage IOWA did NOT

Today Iowa is just 1-8 with runners in scoring position

2 Iowa batters strike out looking to end the inning.

The details:


Fullard singled up the middle (0-2) to start the inning

Sher doubled to right center (0-0); Fullard advanced to third.

Wilmes struck out swinging (1-2).

McCleary struck out looking (3-2).

Huckstorf struck out looking (1-2).

The iowa RF'er does not have his sunglasses pulled down and drops a routine fly ball in foul territory

Good grief.

This time it does not cost us.

7-4 Purdue

Heading to the bottom of 7th
 
another pop up to right

this time it hit Fullard's glove, but he dropped it

costs Iowa another run

and the scorer rules it a double

LOL

These 2 items cost Iowa at least 4 runs:


(1) Bottom of 6th: Runners on 2nd and 3rd, NO OUTS, and the next 3 Iowa batters strike out

A single would have given Iowa 2 runs


(2) 2 dropped balls cost Iowa 2 runs

Those costly mistakes and failures to execute at the plate that cost Iowa 4 runs end up being the difference as Iowa loses 10-6

@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset , your thoughts in 3 letters or less?
 
Put the damn ball in play! Absolutely pathetic situational hitting there with runners on 2nd and 3rd with NO OUTS.
Yeah it was pathetic. It's not just an issue this year. It has been the last few. Zero reason to not get the ball in play once with guys at 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Iowa basically used up Nedved for the weekend too.
 
Rubber Game Sunday.

Iowa is 11-4 over their last 15 games.
