Sun. 5/12: Win Games for Mom, Please

[Joseph Zarr]

And he throws a 3-2 heater onto the plate and into the dirt. First player walk for Figueroa. Mudcats have walked 5 and plunked 2. Three WP's and a balk. AND, lead 5-4. We'll take it.

[Joseph Zarr]

He gets the K swinging on an off-speed pitch skirting the outer half. Noice! 5-4 Muddies and we head to the 8th. Hopefully, they close it out. Gotta run to Mothers Day dinner.

Back to back three baggers from Kay-Lan Nicasia and Yhoswar Garcia have given Carolina an insurance run top of eight.

[Ro Mueller]

Figueroa faced 5 batters: BB, K to end inning, HR, BB, BB.

Blake Whiting comes in with 2-on, nobody out, clinging to a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the 8th inning.

[sveumrules]

Whiting strands both runners going fly out, double steal, walk, pop out, fly out.

6-5 Mudcats heading to top nine.

[sveumrules]

Whiting goes HBP, single, HBP to load the bases no outs bottom of nine then proceeds to strike out the next three batters. WOW.

Carolina wins 6-5.

And those strikeouts included at least 4 pitches in the dirt (including 3 blocked strikes). C Blayberg Diaz only entered the game for that half-inning, but he certainly played a role in the win. Cool!

Well shoot that's some awesome post-Mom's Day dinner surprise! Heck of a series win.

HUGE win by the Mudcats today.. They lead Fredericksburg by a mere 1.0 G (also 7-3 over their last 10) - tho have a 2 G advantage in the Loss column 9-to-11. After the upcoming Down East road series (we shall see if Down East does indeed have Live feeds in 2024) upcoming, the Midcats have an opportunity to face off versus both last place Delmarva and Myrtle Beach for a 12 game stretch. 

And, it does look like the Mudcats will squeeze in their make-up games vs Columbia just before the first half ends June18th amd 20th. Assuming, of course, this is indeed still the first half?

Down East unfortunately does not have live feeds. Pretty sad stuff.

Didn't they proclaim this off-season this was going to be changed in 2024? I think I am merely confusing this with the news they were leaving Granger Stadium after 2024? Dang it that is really annoying! Amazing the World Champs can't get a live feed going for their Low-A squad. Honestly, that's just ridiculous. Makes these absurd bird's eye view Biloxi games slightly more palatable. At least the Shuckers are on the road this week (Sorry Javik. Not sorry)

What I don't get is they have a cam in the outfield for scouts to watch select players. I would love to watch the Down East games for the last season in Kinston, NC before they turn to the Hub City Spartanburgers(:

I know they should have a feed in Spartanburg, SC though, If they don't however I will email the Rangers!!!!

To be honest, I may buy a ticket for Sat's just for the 2024 Card Set that they won't be selling this year!!
