Nice job by Shaffner to close it out. Andrews pitched well too.

Heavner was everywhere on both offense and defense and Luke Nixon did a little bit of everything too!

Won the series so only thing left is to sweep. Got a lot of bullpen if Marohn does not have his best stuff.

Both guys pounded the zone all day.

I'd be really scared facing us in a tournament setting with the depth of arms we have.

If only ACC tournament was double elimination instead of whatever wacky format it is now.

Not sure I like the bunt there, but impressed sosa got down a good one


You bunt there 100% of the time with man on 1st and 2nd and no outs.
I agree that you bunt there in the 8th inning. Early in the game I don't like wasting outs for a possible payoff. Avent used to do that all the time no matter what and it drove me crazy. Your 3 and 4 hitters are there for a reason, let them swing the bat. I don't follow analytics, but I think even they say it's better to let your guys hit then bunt with the first 2 on.

Having said that, Sosa did a good job of getting the runners moved up. In the 7th after Luke led off, I thought he was going to bunt Lanphere and I was saying to myself you only have 9 outs left, don't give one away and Drew got a single and Luke went to 3rd. I have no problem with Heavner bunting for the tie run in that situation.

VT got mouthy when they tied it up and got their panties in a bunch when Luke gave it back rounding 3rd. Might be some fireworks in game 3.

Just like Whitaker was a camo guy, Marohn like s the Black tops.

I should have said in that situation, I agree you don't do it that early in the game with your cleanup guy up.

He has changed a lot in the last 5 or so years. I applaud him for acting more like Earl Weaver and not giving outs away.

Seemed like a strict pitch count with this guy coming off injury. Incentivized by having a lead and going to a real arm

That ball was smoked off the bat right back to the pitcher. Pack ties it up with a pitching change coming!
Go Pack!

Wow what a bullet by McHugh up the middle. So glad it did not hit the pitcher.

How big a play will that end up being? Great hustle by Head and then again to score on the ensuing single.
