Exhale! Cougars load the bases, come up empty. 0-0 after 2.

Corey Merrill mows 'me down 1-2-3 in the first. Strikes out their leading hitter. Let's get this guy some runs!

Rain appears to be moving out of the Houston area. Still, the Cougars have field turf; so, we should have no problem playing tonight.

Duester does the job!

Pierce sticks with Yandel: K's lead off hitter Love; Yorgen walks; Watkins singles (1st & 3rd); Lowrey doubles in 1 run...8-6...1 out...runners on 2nd & 3rd; Harmon intentionally walked.

Duester in to pitch: Tyler hits into DP! Wave wins, 8-6!

ECU using 6th pitcher: Alemais' 2-out single makes it 14 hits. Nothin' else do in' for the Wave. 8-5 going into the Bottom 9th. Gotta hold on.

Yandel still pitching: I hit no runs for ECU. After 8, 8-5.

Williams slaps a ground-rule 2B driving in Kaplan (walked); Hope ph and breaks out of slump with run scoring single. Hope had been 0-for-19. Wave has 13 hits. 8-5 heading to the B-8th.

Yandel pitching: Tough 7th, ECU scores 1. Leaves 2 on base at 2nd & 3rd. 6-5 after 7.

Meanwhile in Game 3, we're up 4-1 Top 3rd. Hope, in a huge slump, did not start. Willsey at 3B delivers with a run scoring single. Still batting as ECU starter is knocked out.

That loss yesterday was our worst of the year. Obviously, the only thing that remedies the way we all feel right now is to win and keep winning. While I think our new baseball coach is a winner, turning it around is going to take a heap of work bringing in guys who can swing the bat with confidence ...

Final, 11-4 ECU. Except for Carthon's single in the Top 9, other 3 Wave batters K'd. ECU wins the series and we are 19-12, 1-4.

Nothing doing for the Wave in Top 6th. Gandolfo single and LOB. 7-4 ECU.

Ugly 6th as ECU scores 4. 7-4 Pirates now after 6. After a single, Rankin walked 2; 3 ECU run scoring singles thereafter. Gibbs, Gross, Rankin, Steel and now Gibaut pitching.
