Discussion thread for game two of the Fordham series. 

 

Villar and Dutka have come through big so far. Really applying pressure .

Dietrich with back to back doubles tonight. Swinging it really well tonight.

Zech with a great defensive play to end the sixth. needed that

Opposing catchers have a discussion after a play at the plate. Dug outs cleared but nothing occurred. Commentators mentioned words exchanged in game one. Could be some bad blood brewing here.

Dietrich is now 4-4 with three RBI's. Looking like the player of the game for the Bulls.

Final thoughts on game two.

Almost seemed like the exact opposite of last night. We got some breaks early, like Villar getting a ground ball to go through and a couple bunts for a hit. Dietrich was a beast tonight going 4-4 with two doubles and all three RBI’s. The combination of Villar and Dukta was especially effective as they both got on base in consecutive trips through the order to apply pressure to the Fordham defense. Our defense came to play tonight, with an error free game and a few web gems in the field.

We didn’t get quite the start from Strzelecki that we got from Mcclanahan, but he did strike out nine batters to match the ace. Three walks in five innings is still something to improve on. The Bulls got another quality relief outing, as Wisely came in, and threw three innings scoreless while striking out three Rams. Perez recorded his second save of the season, but also gave up a HR in the ninth. He has now given two homeruns; this is something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

My player of the game would be Tyler Dietrich for his stellar performance at the plate. After loading the bases, the Bulls had two bad at bats with RISP, however Dietrich came through with two outs to clear the bases and give the Bulls all they needed for a victory. Overall good win, still work to do, but looks like the Bulls are set to take the series tomorrow afternoon.

Great game, Go Bulls!!

I was relieved to see Strzelecki's numbers in his second start look vastly better. Also, while Wisely's bat may still be struggling, getting three shutout innings on the mound was a nice contrbution towards the win.
