Is this something you can sign up for?

really the difference in the game is plate discipline, cornell continues to swing at bad pithes in hitters counts and UNC is taking advantage of that to throw offspeed when behind in the count.

a couple of miscues by the infield, but all in all a pretty solid effort

Sorry; I may not have been clear. UNC had the great pitching. Ours was "decent." In that our starter didn't completely suck. Our defense kept us in the game early, however. Now we need to win tomorrow.

dag: I reread your post; you were clear I just read too quickly.

Fine line between "bad plate discipline" and "being overmatched." Johnson has a pretty, slow curve that he throws for strikes and that our guys didn't even seem to bother trying to swing at. Apparently he got promoted to the rotation after another starter got injured and he's been damn good. 6-1, WHIP of just under 1 and 63 Ks in 51.1 innings coming into today.

Anyway, the final score was 7-4, bad guys. The Cornell recap hasn't been posted, but here's the UNC recap. The ECU Pirates are up next, tomorrow at 1. No idea about free audio/video.

Out of curiosity I took a look at how the Ivy team represented itself in the Softball tournament and the answer was "not bad at all." Harvard went 2-2, with wins over Maryland and #23 Texas Tech. Both losses were to regional host and #16 seed Washington.

Cornell recap. Much more detailed.

my point was more they had multiple chances with good counts and guys on base to do damage and then swung at bad pitches. we had enough hits but not that many solid ones. better pitching probably forced the guys into mistakes, but we only hit about 280 as a team so just to stay in the game was a big deal.

redcast is free again today.. might also be on espn3 but UNC looks to be one of the regionals with little coverage,.

Cornell leads ECU 4-2 after 4 innings. They batted around; runners advancing one base at a time to score 4 runs in the inning.

ECU wins 10-6.

Great season, Big Red. We'll get 'em next year.

Bah. East Carolina isn't even a real place.

Ah, crap. At the same time, doesn't this qualify as the shortest Cornell Athletics offseason ever? We made it to June this year.

In baseball, yes.
But Cornell is always at the IRA in June, and sometimes at Henley even later.
This year, as happens occasionally, Cornell track stars have made it to the NCAA meet, which is next week. women men

One final baseball note: UNC lost twice to St. Johns and didn't advance out of the regional that they hosted. St. John's just took an extra-innings lead against Arizona in the first game of the SuperRegional.

Meanwhile, Stony Brook, another surprise entrant in the SuperRegionals, is tied 4-4 with LSU in game 1 in a game delayed by rain.

Another last baseball note: Brian Billigen has signed with the Diamondbacks. No details other than to say that he is very excited.

ugarte · June 11, 2012, 01:06:52 PM

St. John's lost that lead then lost Game 2.

Stony Brook, on the other hand, lost a crazy game one: blowing 9th, 10th and 11th inning leads on solo HRs before losing the game in the 12th. Stony Brook then dominated LSU in games 2 and 3 to move on to the CWS for the first time. Neat.
