Beavers touch Blaine for a couple of HR and he leaves the game behind by 2 runs in the 4th inning. We get to their starter in the 5th, and then start putting runners on the bases most innings thereafter. Loseke has a nice stretch, giving up 1 run in 3-4 innings, and then we hand it off to Cronin for the save.
I’m not going to get into how it comes about. Already enough uncertainty about the simple “who wins” question. I’m going to predict the hogs, but I’m not sure how much of my prediction is coming from my heart & how much is coming from my head. I’d like for Knight to leave the game with a lead of some kind & hope he doesn’t leave it until after the 5th inning. I’d love to knock out their starter by the 3rd inning & then kick around the next two relievers before we close it out with Loseke.
Can I wait until two outs in the ninth to make my prediction? lol! I think Blaine gets six strong innings; Kjerstad has a big game, and the Hogs win 7-4.
I think knight will go 7. I don’t think OSUs starter gets past 3. Don’t know the score but I just think the hogs want it more. The batters seem to figure out the other teams pitcher lately pretty quick.
