Posted March 5Mar 5 Administrator Game summary coming to the bottom of the thread later... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3-0 Ducks after one inning. So comforting to have veteran Ian Umlandt, an Oregon lad, on the hill. Mason Neville hit a home run as lead-off hitter! Did it at full-count, opposite field to boot. Jacob Walsh walks, and then Anson Aroz hits a difficult fielding double that scores Walsh. Aroz then scores when Maddox Molony hits a nice single. Off to a good start! Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 Author Administrator 4-0 Ducks after two innings, as Dominic Hellman blasted a solo homer on a hanging breaking ball! A Dom-Bomb... Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 Author Administrator Good gosh, it is 7-0 Ducks after four innings from scoreless pitching by Ian Umlandt, and a three run homer by Dominic Hellman! His second homer in this game! Another Dom-Bomb... Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 Author Administrator 11-0 Ducks! Damn...Our Beloved Ducks can hit the ball! Five innings gone, and now let's get the freshmen in there! Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 Author Administrator 15-0 Ducks, after seven innings, so I guess the run-rule doesn’t apply tonight! Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 Author Administrator SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Hellman and Neville combine for three homers and the Ducks get second shutout in as many games Mr. FishDuck
March 5Mar 5 I believe the "run-rule" which is 10 run lead after 7 innings: - applies to non-conference games - it has to be agreed upon by both coaches prior to start of the game - it is most commonly applied to second game of a daily double-header; or, the last game of a multi-game series which is typically on a Sunday and thereby allows the visitor whether trailing or leading to leave for home campus early I assume the coaches inform the umpire before the game. By prior agreement, it reduces "in-game passions" between coaches, with the trailing coach pointing to the agreement rather than a last minute decision to pull his team off the field. Reduces embarrassment and tension for players on losing team. Some, not all, conferences do have a run-rule which is similar to points above. Conference choice. In my thinking, the inconsistency as to how many games can be affected across the NCAA totality it does have an effect on baseball's Holy Grail of statistics, such as the number of scoreless innings a pitcher throws. Or, all of what I just wrote might be found to be just B.S. I don't know "for sure."
