I absolutely loathe the style of ball Wofford plays…

It definitely works but it’s so annoying to play against

Scrappy


I loathe this word. It is so lazy and stupid to describe an underdog baseball team.

They had a great approach at the plate, we still were close to holding them to 1 run if the wall didn't knock the ball out ofbour glove in Cf

So many times we waste lead-off doubles. It was impressive to see them bunt the runner to 3rd, then sac-fly him in.

Next guy ropes a singe while we are still in our feelings. Steals 2nd. Then gets driven in by a clutch 2 strike RBI single.

That’s fantastic. They also never strike out. Nothing but respect.

Why Coach J was smart again….needed to limit base runners Jump walked 0
Plus like tv analyst said having Lefty throw keeps runner hugging 1B

Two things never mentioned on here the week leading up to the game when morons were bitching about Jump pitching.

I wish we could do a better job at small ball than we do. If we could add that style of offense to the arsenal, we would have a better chance against dominant pitching.

A few bunts and a couple of stolen bases can throw even the best pitchers off.

I remember that year they won the World Series- they were the weakest team in Omaha, but beat the titans with their small ball tactics, bunting in particular!

We would have lost if Jump doesn't start.

I would have still pitched off, and obviously lost the game. Good coaching decision by JJ.

Also, I feel like we could use a little bit of Wofford style in our lineup with guys who have been cold almost all year.

Yeh.... i'd much rather lack identity at the plate and rely on our smallest BEAST to win it all for us... GTFO here. Wofford played well

You are correct, love it or hate it you have to be able to play small ball sometimes to move runners. They do it well
