re: CWS Omaha: UCLA 2, LSU 1 - FINAL - Next Game: Tuesday @ 2pm vs. UNC

only a matter of time..Tigers are getting solid contact..the hits are going to fall into gaps eventually

right approach by Laird, but just not enough.

Well through 3 pitch counts are pretty similar.

We need Nola to have a less than 10-pitch inning here.

Heart of order in bot 4 will get it going

Bregman just a little too jacked his first time up...

I believe

hopefully we break through next inning

we're putting some good swings on the ball, just not having any luck yet

As a Cleveland Indians fan, I wanted to be impressed by this guy, but I'm not impressed with the UCLA pitcher at all...

Really getting lucky that the ballpark has kept some of our batters at bay. Won't last IMO.
