Cornell-UNC was supposed to be tomorrow evening but, due to weather concerns, has been moved up to 50 minutes after the 11am ECU-St. John's game.

St. John's just beat East Carolina 11-3.  I imagine the Cornell game should start by 3 PM EDT.

Not to be too pessimistic, but what's the conventional wisdom on how badly we're going to get our asses handed to us?

[ugarte]

UNC is the #6 team in the nation and we are the 4th seed in our bracket so...

On the other hand, the pitching staff is the team's strength so if the starter is on his game we can keep it close and if we keep it close...

T1: 6-3, 3-1, K (Cornell goes down in order, no good swings, really.)
B1: 8, 3UA, Single, 6-3 (The flyout to center, the single and the groundout to end the inning were all hit well. The pitcher's been a bit wild.)
T2: ww*, K, single, 5-3 (Got a baserunner; the inning-ender was hit better than the single. First solid contact.)
B2: BB, single, E1 (bases loaded), 6 (INSANE DIVING CATCH!), RBI 6-4[/b] (RBI), 3UA (UNC takes a 1-0 lead. Pitcher still wild. Lucky to be this close.)
T3: 8, E4 (bounced the throw, ball went into the dugout, runner on 2d), WW, 3 (The error was a tough play but a terrible throw.)
B3: D9, single, 5-3 (runner moves up), 4-3 (We may win because baseball is funny but UNC is clearly a better team.)
T4: K, Kc, 7 (Cruz caught a bad break; called out on ball 4)
B4: L3, WW, single, stolen base, RBI triple**, RBI single, single, RBI single**, RBI single, (pitching change), 3UA (The well-hit balls started to drop and KABLOOEY. Cornell is down 5-0.)
T5: WW, infield single, single, 8, single 9-2 (Great throw from the RF; play wasn't close.)
B5: E3, [a walk and three outs] (No runs scored; I was out of my office)
T6: single, 2-run HR!, (pitching change), (game suspended for expectation of severe weather)

OK, I'm probably not going to be able to pay attention anymore and won't know when the game resumes.

** Cruz dove and almost came down with these two but couldn't pull off what would have been great plays.

I actually remember hearing that live, and I've told the story while playing golf, when asked where someone else's shot landed.
This is not an exact quote, but close:
Healy (reading from Rizzuto's scorecard, explaining what a batter did in his previous at bats): ".... and he (pause) Scooter, what does WW mean?"
Rizzuto: "Wasn't watching"

Through the first 5 innings we played great defense and had decent pitching, but for one 4-run inning.  We didn't hit as effectively as UNC so they were not called upon to play great defense.  They got great pitching but for one home run.  Hence the 5-2 score.  I just got a text from CU Athletics indicating they hope to resume at 5:45.

5-3 now, bottom of the 6th coming up

I dispute that we had great pitching. Our starter was wild, UNC had mostly hitters counts and was putting good "wood" on the ball all game. I can think of maybe two swinging strikes in the first 5 innings. I'm glad that we're coming back, though. Both teams are in the bullpen and our best pitcher is probably our closer. This is still a game.

UNC starts the bottom of the 6th with three straight singles and take a 6-3 lead. Bleh. I'm going home.
