Oregon @ Washington State (Cougars win series 2-1)

[BillM]

That might be game over . . . we have NO wins this year when we're behind going into the 8th inning. What a year of some really nice highs and some really crappy lows. Up and down, up and down . . . tied for 8th with WSU again with red hot OS coming to town. Looks like we'll finish in 9th place. Just couldn't get it done against a struggling WSU team. Made them look like a team of sluggers with all their extra base hits.

[BillM]

Any chance we might be able to steal one from the beavs next weekend? I really do not want to get swept by them to end the season. I thought we'd play better in this series against a struggling WSU . . . but then we're struggling too in the battle for sole possession of 8th place.

Pulfer with a big 2-run double in the top of the 8th, 7-6 Ducks.

Nicely done!

Keep it going, Ducks!

[BillM]

I love Danny Pulfer (on a full count too)!!! If we can hold on, this would be the first time this year that we won a game in which we did not lead going into the 8th. C'mon Ducks!!!

[BillM]

It's going to be up to Boer to close this out. Two more innings!

[woundedknees]

Top of the 9th... Ducks up by 1. Here we go!

[BillM]

Would love to get some insurance runs, but Boer can do it in the bottom of the 9th.

[greenyellow]

Even with Peterson getting on with a bunt hit, I don't think they'll get an insurance run. Boer will just need to keep pitching like he has all season.

[greenyellow]

Boer gives up a 2-out double, game tied 7-7 in bot 9th.

[BillM]

Damn . . . that stolen base hurt!

[BillM]

WSU has hit a ton of doubles in all 3 games this series.

[greenyellow]

Boer gives up another double and WSU wins 8-7. Post-season aspirations are gone now. Once again, the bullpen fails the team again.

Story of our season.

[BillM]

Well that sucks . . . another meltdown inning. Unbelievable! Nice clutch hitting by the cougs. We're still 0 fer when behind in the 8th inning.
