Anyone?

Holy Cross 5 Newcath 4

[ChiefWahoo]

Holy Cross beat NewCath 5-4 on walk off single by Joe Sullivan. The Breds Got off to a 2 run lead before the Indians scored 3 in the 5th. NewCath Scroed 2 of their own in the top of the 6th due to HC's inability to field a bunt. However HC scored just enough in the bottom of the 7th to squeek out the win.

Newcath's inability to have solid relief pitching hurt their chances of winning the game also

[ChiefWahoo]

Yeah, they walked 3 people in the bottom of the seventh.. not a good way to hold a two run lead

Opinions of Ryan's outing?

[ChiefWahoo]

he looked good.. the umpire's low, wide strike-zone helped a lot, there had to be atleast five or six strikeouts looking on a ball low and away. Correct me if I'm wrong but i dont believe he gave up more than one earned run. HC's defense can definately improve, but Jim threw pretty good from my vantage point. You know him and his coaches thought he was doing a pretty good job when they intentionally walked to bases loaded for Harris

[Newcath37]

Yes, that was a key point in the game to strike him out with bases loaded. How do you think Newcath played?

[ChiefWahoo]

well i havent seen them play much this year but they looked pretty solid defensively, i dont think they made an error... they didnt hit the ball exceptionally and if i was thier coach i might want to talk to them about adjusting to an umpires strike-zone, i'll admit some of those pitches might hav been out of the strike-zone but he was calling it all day and for both teams, they also struggled to get a bunt down, HC had a hard time fielding the ones they did manage to get down so its hard tellin' what would hav happened had they been able to get all those other ones down.. Harris threw well minus the one inning he gave up 3, all in all if they cut down on the walks and make teams put it in play they'll be a tough team to beat. I hit here and there wont hurt them but when give people free passes those singles turn into RBI's and the fielders can't do a thing about it
