3 run homer by the Canadian Crusher

11-5, bottom of 9th. Good on Auburn for what it's done, but the UNC bullpen has really, really sucked. Should have stuck with the starter.

Thx. UNC 2-0 in the 1st, 1 out, 3 on. Auburn has UNC right where it wants them.

Fan not calling balk or blowing whistle during play (in 80s Tenn got a huge sack on us after fan blew whistle and our qb stopped play).

A whistle is bad, but distracting chatter is part of baseball, and making the pitcher drop the ball was kinda funny.

Hard to forget. It happened right in front of me.


I probably agree about the balk. It sure must have seemed real for a college pitcher to hold up a pitch.

Still, go #3 Duke > #1 Vanderbilt, game 3 today at 3 ET.

Go #1 UCLA > #3 Michigan, game 3 today at 9 ET.

#1 Oklahoma State - #1 Texas Tech, Series Tied 1-1. Ugh, can they both lose?

Wow, that bottom 3rd UNC RF run, catch of a foul ball, flip over the railing and sticking the landing should make the alltime highlight reels.

It will definitely be in the highlights

Or maybe it was lsu. The Tenn embarrassment I saw from those seats was 2 or 3 1st down pick 6 screen passes to put Tenn up by a bunch without having made an offensive play.

Good game, other than the score.

Good game, other than the score.

Great relief by both teams.
UNC had 9 walk, 15 LOB!, coulda been lots worse for Auburn.
