This game isn't finishing by 4.

We may be a while here, as they're looking to get a P warmed up.

RHP Thonvold is coming in.

 

[armadillo slim]

2B-ADV to 3B on the throw.

So no FC since there was no out on the play?

 

[Matt Cotcher]

New pitcher is RS junior Lance Thornvold, a RHP from Eden Prairie, MN. He goes 6'5", 245.

Thornvold's favorite color is cyan.

Correct.  The initial hit was going to be scored a double either way.

Matt likes to use printer terminology sometimes.  

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Shaw has EIGHT doubles already. That's just silly.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Matt likes to use printer terminology sometimes.  

He also likes to refer to himself as the "Color" guy on the game threads.  Not sure he really grasps the concept just yet. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

At this pace we might make it through the 6th inning. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

New pitcher is RS junior Jordan Jess from Ripon, WI. He goes 6'3", 240.

He once won a hula hoop contest in 7th grade.

 

[joeywa]

Shaw has EIGHT doubles already. That's just silly.

And 10 RBIs, I believe.

Marlow

1-0 dirt; nice block by C to keep it close

[Matt Cotcher]

This is why Garrido had Johnston pitch/close early in the series.

 

[armadillo slim]

Marlowe with 4 rib in only two innings

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Minnesota will go through most of their pitchers today it looks like.
