All Things Gopher Baseball

[DarrenTheGreek]

Up 2-1 in t9, 2 outs and nobody on. Clauson a strike away from ending the game:
Single
Error by 3b on throw
HBP
Bases clearing double
Wild pitch
Single.

Lost 2-5. Neels was a foot away from tying it but LF caught it at the wall. Heartbreaking

Absolute torture, sure felt to me like that zone got way tighter in the 9th compared to the rest of the game. Pitch before the double looked almost exactly the same as the called strike 3 to end the 8th.
