Always heard that it's the pitcher's job to pitch and the rest of the game circles around that. But you have to make them put it in play. Walks and HBP are not your friend.

Exactly...1st - 27 pitches -17 Strikes; not even close to the Friday Smith early #'s. These are early shower #'s...

But holding it at this for a few innings, put a little pressure on them. The game ain't over until the last out. Schultz has to give them 80 pitches at least.

So Roberts puts us back in the saddle.
Hold the line. We got this.

Bingo...Roberts 3-run homer should add a lil' pressure. 5-3 now, w/ Aces making contact.
Why are they taking out Schultz out...injury? He's only given up 2 hits (3 HBP)...but ISU hasn't been stinging the cowhide!

Roberts has Fenlong's # today...
Ya,I can't see pulling Schultz so early & in essence, trusting the depth of your bullpen. Blunt has looked good, but you know how quickly that can change. His bio doesn't show much.

Someone asked earlier how ISU has won so many games. I think the answer simply can be found in their HC's emphasis on DEFENSE. I think they yearly lead the MVC, w/ UE a close 2nd.
Rumsey needs to seriously think about getting a new glove...seriously, if the ball hits your glove, you should've caught it (plain & simple).

Blunt threw 4 good innings, saving UE arms for Sunday's finale.

Some games you can't win, some you can't lose ... the rest of them, you have to give yourself a chance.
4 runs in the first is not optimal. But squeeze one out tomorrow.

Aces will be facing the "oldtimer" from Boonville Sunday in RHP Lane Miller. That 1st inning killed UE today...
Redbirds upset SIU in Carbondale today.

Mo State and UIC are both riding high of late, although their victims are not contenders for anything other than spoiler.
Lefty Parks gets the start for UE and having used Blunt in long relief, Carroll still has Hardman and Hanssman for bullpen work -- those are nice options. Denu has evidently pitched himself out of the 3 spot. He had a good start to the season. Expect to see him next week against Butler.
Indiana State improves to 27-13 overall and 15-2 in the MVC. Evansville falls to 25-17 overall and 9-8 in the MVC. The series will be decided on Sunday at 1 p.m., with UE expected to start LHP Michael Parks (2-1, 2.34 ERA) against RHP Lane Miller (4-0, 2.12 ERA). Sunday's match can be heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS.
