Nothing!
The South Alabama Jaguars taking on the Wichita State Shockers.
The day was brilliant. The sky was clear and so blue
it hurt mine eyes. And I almost didn't go.
I was up all night and I could have gone home after church
and gone to bed. Glad I went to the game.
The good guys got beat up pretty bad, but I am still glad I went.
The Jaguar starter had that buzzard's luck.
He couldn't kill anything and wouldn't nothing die.
The Jag's bats were quiet and when they did manage to get the bat
on the ball, they could not leg it out.
#4 White, runs like Mama Cass.
The Jags used up five pitchers in the nine inning contest
and out of the five only two looked like they knew
what they were supposed to be doing out there.
The lefty showed promise, but he can't pitch from the stretch.
Too worried about prior mistakes to take on the batters
and get them out. Immature and lacking in confidence.
In the bottom of five, blue-boy got into the game.
Left fielder for the Shockers made a brilliant play in the field.
Everyone in attendance, except the three blind boys from Alabama
saw it and were waiting for the call from the umpires. We're still
waiting. Not one of the three saw the play or were prepared
to make a call. Like I said, we're still waiting...
The Jags trotted their fourth pitcher out, a right handed, sidewinder.
He has potential too, or he did have for awhile. The shocker hitters
caught on and by their second time around, they were shelling him too.
I look for the Shockers to make the tournament. I see little improvement
over last years Jags. #29 rounded out the last of the Jag's five hurlers.
He gave up a three run homer in the top of the ninth to seal there fates.
From there the Jaguar bats refused to come alive. They show little hope.
No joy in Stankeyville tonight, the Jaguars lose and the Wichita, Shockers
Win the Classic, 15-10.
And I am still glad I went.
