Pop fly into shallow LF, wind gets it and SS misplays it.  No E, but runners now on corners.

 

[Coal Harbour]

The SP for Tulane, Gibbs, probably deserved better, but the wind is playing havoc on pop ups.

We need to keep hitting pop flys in the sun.

New RHP for Tulane is Simms.

He really needed to get a clutch knock.  He's been a bit sketchy with RISP when we're needing a hit lately.

 

[Coal Harbour]

Always get nervous when Duke is asked to go back to the mound after a half inning.
