Well coming back at you live from Jackie Robinson ballpark here in what’s turned into a nice day here in Daytona Beach we bring you game two of today’s double header between the Northwestern wild cats and the bethon cookman wild cats with BCU looking to steal a game here

After dropping the first two in the series 116 and 10 to 5 thank you all for joining us once again we appreciate everybody standing in as we waited out a little bit of weather here but things have cleared up very nicely the sun is out the clouds have gone away but we

Will stick to radio just in case the coverage uh the cloud cover comes back don’t want to risk anything with our equipment and setup wise and we’ll make it work from back here in the turtles Nest my name is Bryce Way I joining you once again with Hensen white for those

Of you who are frequent viewers of our basketball broadcasts I’m sure you’ve caught him on a handful of games this season we are bringing you another game here at the Jack it’s been a long day but wild cats are hoping that Ray wrap it up with a

Win yeah they had a decent performance first game with this double header a raid check really messed up their chances of home run in that uh penultimate fourth inning a tough comeback in that ninth inning and then not a great Bullpen performance in that 10th inning that really you know messed

Them up and now they’re going to look to put all that behind them and in a it’s a new game new day basically so that’s how they got to look at it absolutely that should be the approach for the Wildcats as Daniel gavia gets things started he

Will face the man who has led off for every game this weekend in Vince B and Kina for Northwestern and immediately he smacks this one out into the Gap in right center field but it is caught on the run from Sergio Rivera and there is one away for the Northwestern lineup in game

Three ban Kina of course leads off trenle olis will take the second spot Owen mof fatrick third Bennett markinson in the fourth spot Jackson Freeman Hill bat fifth Griffin Mills sixth Tony Livermore seventh Joshua Ramos eighth and and Griffin arnone who’s been a thorn in their side all weekend as that

One is lined into the glove of Peter Vasquez at second and just like that there’s two quick outs for Daniel gavia yep two glove gems back to back there very good defensive positioning for both of those outs and now very quick same same thing we saw in that first game very

Quick uh starting pitching first pitch to m fatrick is a ball for gavia he is one and0 on the season 245 ER in two starts he’s worked 11 Innings as that one is swung on and missed four strike two he has allowed 11 hits three uh six

Runs three earned he’s walked two to S strikeouts is the swack preseason pitcher of the Year fires in a ball one and two for the Wildcats defensively in the series finale it is Ramsey Cordova Jamie via fa at third and short respectively and we’ll have to get you

That next time as the inning is already over uh Owen mof fatrick swings through a fast ball and we will head to the bottom of the first Wildcats up to bat appreciate you sticking with us here on the cat ey Network Kyle poof is the the starter today for

Northwestern in the final game of the three-game series as he warms up here the senior has appeared in three games so far with one start in seven Innings has allowed three runs one earned on four hits with two walks to two strikeouts he will face

Daniel Figaroa as we get set to lead off here momentarily the BCU lineup looks like this Daniel Figaro leads off Garrett Chun betting in the second spot once again followed by Sergio Rivera George Rodriguez is batting cleanup we have Jose Gonzalez at the DH spot he bats fifth Manny surain sixth

Peter Vasquez seventh Ramsey Cordova eight Jamie viaan will once again bat out of the nine the nine spot as Figaroa digs in getting set to lead off the first for BCU he will take the first pitch outside for ball as for the Northwestern defense being Kino once again at third

Livermore at Short Stop Mel fatrick at second and liolis at first that has not changed since the first game or really all weekend as there’s a strike to even up the count one and one to Figaroa from left to right in the Outfield it will be Griffin Mills making

His first start of the weekend in left another strike there to Figaroa one and two now Griffin arnone once again in center field and it will be Jackson Freeman in right then we have behind the plate for Northwestern is Bennett markinson once again as that one misses even have to

Count at two and two Northwest are now wearing their purple Unis that they’re more known for swinging a miss and Figaroa goes down on strikes to open this one up for Northwestern like you said Hensen the wild cats of Northwestern sporting the bright purple with the white trim white

Pants with black trim the purple caps Theon cookman once again Dawning the baby blue with maroon trim maroon numbers and a white outline with the maroon caps so no change for them for the last game Garett Chun barrels this one up and it will be into left field picking up

Right where he left off in the previous game he was two for five with an RBI in game one today and he starts this one off one for one overall a 500 day to start out so very good hidden day for him hitting 341 on the season coming

Into today but that will bring us to Sergio Rivera Rivera one for five did have a strike out in game one today he takes the first pitch into dirt throw over trying to get Chun sleeping but he will dive back into first if you’re just tuning in if you

Missed game one we are over in the turtles nest out in right field due to some rain we were originally positioned underneath the Press Box behind home plate but Rin has chased us back here as this one is another one barreled up very well this one to right field Garrett

Chun will dig into second Rivera is into first and two are on with one away for the Wildcats in the first clearly showing no signs of letting up from their offensive performance in the early innings in the last game y but they’ll try to make the most out of these opportunities one thing

They really could do in the first game they did get a lot of Runners on base but could not score them come back to haunt the wild cats who had a chance as this one is lined right into the glove of the first base lolis and he tags the bag for a double

Play and any and all momentum the Wildcats found offensively in the first is sapped away at the glove of lolis a tough luck play for BCU not a whole lot you can do about that Daniel gavia will head back out to the mound as we head to the second you’re watching bonman

Baseball on the cat ey Network Daniel gavia is back on the mound for bethon cookman as we get set to start the second inning here and what has and will continue to be a long day of baseball here at Jackie Robinson ballpark if it’s your first time tuning

In we are not traditionally an audio only unit but due to some weather and our ongoing battle with the infrastructure down here at a remodeled Jackie Robinson as this ball is chopped to third Ramsey Cordova will fire over to First surain will gather but he is pulled off the bag and cannot

Apply the tag as Bennett markinson leads things off with what will probably be ruled a hit actually almost definitely there’s really no error to CR well no you you actually I take that back completely that will 100% be an error because the throw was offline from Cordova who could

Have made that so they will get a lead off base runner via the error as the next man up Jackson Freeman shows bunt but pulls it back for a ball Northwestern going for some small ball to try to get some runs across early here Jackson Freeman coming into this

Game in 207 as he barrels that one up out into left center field Garrett Chun he’ll be called off by Sergio Rivera who will make the play on the run pretty quickly played start to this game not a whole lot of pitches taken not a lot of long ABS moving quickly

Both teams just happen to be playing ball again after the Rainy start to today’s festivities this one will be a strike to Griffin Mills making his first start of the week end thrower to first but no worries for Bennett markinson who dives back in safely but to finish my point from

Forever ago we we will traditionally have video and hopefully once we get access to the Press Box again we will have a full production for you as there is a appeal to first but no swing says the first place official but uh as we deal with remodeling here going on at Jackie

Robinson ballpark we are dealing with just trying to figure out technically how we can get everything to work so we appreciate all the patience in these early weeks of play right now we’re doing our best radio job out here in right field it’s a little tough for us to see

But we’re bringing you BCU baseball nonetheless as gavia gets set to throw the 2-1 and it’s thrown over to Ramsey’s Cordova at third it gets by his glove all the way down to the wall Garrett Chun will gather and throw in the runner will stop at third and second and third for

Northwestern Bennett markinson moves down to third Griffin Mills guy who struggled at the plate coming in gives some much needed pop for Northwestern who now threatens with one away and two on as Tony Livermore shows bunt a nice one over to surain a little quick but nobody is

Covering the bag at first as the Run comes in to score Daniel gavia was late because he thought he could potentially make the play himself on the mound a little bit of frustration between gavia and surain and now there’s Runners on the corners with Northwestern now holding the one- nothing lead early

A flip of what we saw from bethon cookman where they started out hot in the first game now Northwestern taking advantage of what the Wildcats defense is given them Joshua Ramos fouls one back the freshman in the eighth spot getting his first action of the Season he will DH today for

Northwestern throw over to first but Livermore gets back in safely then the very dangerous Griffin Arnon is on Deck who is terrorized the wild cats in both games this weekend the 01 in there for a strike 0 and2 gavia not a big strikeout guy seven this year through 11 Innings

Primarily a guy that works to contact particularly ground balls he’ll throw over once again as a lot of attention being paid over to the runner at first Livermore he is two for two on stolen base attempts this season not a big time base stealing threat but trying to keep him

Accountable he will go ball is in the dirt throw down to Second via fa tag is late yeah and both teams have attempted a lot of steals this game uh this game and last game both teams like to play small ball like to get their base runners moving hidden runs

Have seen plenty of those as well and this ball is hit hard out into right field a run will come into to score and Joshua Ramos in his first action of the Season fires up the Northwestern Dugout it’s a two- nothing ball game little bit of a slow start for bethon cookman as

Gavia and catcher George Rodriguez have a little bit of conversation as Griffin arnone heads to the plate hitting 350 this season wasn’t quite as dangerous in the last game just one for three but did walk twice as there is yet another throw over to First you start to

Wonder if the runner at first is affecting the mindset of Dani gavia just been so quick to throw over looks over again but he will throw in our known shows bunt pops it straight up and George Rodriguez makes the catch for the second out lucky break for BCU

There after a couple lucky breaks for Northwestern finally one goes the wild cats of bathon cookman away and ends up being a popup bunt but just like that we turn things over to the top of the lineup Vince banina who is over for one first pitch to him swung on and

Missed on a ball in the dirt ciri doesn’t have a ton of swing and Miss stuff but when teams manage to start barreling him up like they have today we’ve seen a lot of hard contact and the Wildcats already in a dangerous spot another check over at

First Runners on the corners here two outs Northwestern leads two nothing in the second inning of play here the ball is low one and one another swinging nope not a Miss he got a piece of that one that one is fouled back one and two now yeah part of

The reason he might be checking over so much is because he’s pitched a lot of his uh pitches low so he might be worried about the base runner taking advantage of that and being able to steal second he’ll deliver here that one’s high that will bring the count to two and

Two and what has turned into a pretty Pleasant night here at Jackie Robinson ballpark as the Sun starts to set over the left field bleachers that one’s in the dirt count runs full can’t get too cute and try to go for the strike out if you’re gav you have to challenge pitchers gavi

Doesn’t have quite the stuff that some others in this cat’s pitching staff does a low 90s fast ball this one is hit out into center field drifting into right center but no worries there Rivera is under it he makes the play to retire the side but that’s not before Northwestern grabs a

Couple they jump in front two nothing Wildcats will have some work to do at the plate they will come back in a moment appreciate everybody sticking with us here you’re watching or rather listening to BCU baseball on the cat ey Network we return to play here in the bottom of

The second inning here at Jackie Robinson ballpark as Jose Gonzalez is the batter he takes the first pitch in the dirt for a ball and he will swing through the second Wildcats coming off a tough luck first inning that saw ball lined right into the glove of the first baseman lolis who

Retreated to the bag for a double play as this one is fouled off one and two Gonzalez in game one well rather got the day off in game one or the game off I should say as we reach a two- two count now after he takes a

Ball hits this one hard out into the left field that one will skip right down the line and to the wall he will dig in for second throw comes in it’s stand up double for Jose Gonzalez the defending swack player of the week put’s another run in scoring

Position for bethon cookman and Hensen we can’t overestimate how important knocking in these Runners is in these early Innings it’s extremely important Bryce it’s just we haven’t been able to do it in the first game consistently we’ve seen we get base runners the hit the offense is a problem it’s just timely

Hitting is something that we need more consistently as Manny surain takes a strike returning to the starting spot over at first base after morge Gonzalez febo was given that that start in game one today give Manny sura a breather he hits this one hard but foul

Down the right field line and out of play talked to Coach Hernandez pregame Manny surain a guy that started off very strong hitting over 300 forced a lot of walks want to see if he can add some more pop to the bat this one’s High one and

Two looking for more that that Gap power from surain but he’s been one of the Premier bats in this order specifically from the leftand side for the wild cats to start this season he’ll look to try to get an RBI across here swing in a Miss he will

Not as he goes down on strikes second strike out of the game for Kyle poof that’ll bring up Peter Vasquez second base making his third straight start after working out of a pinch hitting roll early in the season had a strong night in the first start of the

Year for him at Florida and has carried that momentum through as again we continue to deal with some fun bike noise behind us this ball is hit hard on a line but foul into the Budweiser Bullpen Bike Week here in Daytona rolls on we’ve cried about it enough all week

I will continue to do so until my dying breath as a group of four more make it five pull right behind us behind Jackie Robinson making plenty of noise Peter Vasquez another one fouled off oh no this one will be in play apologies out to center field and it’ll be the left

Fielder that’ll be Mills that will call everybody off and make the play a long run for Mills there but he had the best angle on the ball and there are two away for the eight hitter ramsy Cordova need to get the base run at least to do something you know they he’s

Been there at second base this whole time really hasn’t had much to do or to advance on now you have two outs you have to try to get a single here obviously something first pitch strike from Kyle poof second one is lined up to the second baseman Michael

Fatrick will throw over to First and quickly retire the side so the Wildcat strand one make it two so far in the game between the first two innings here not a recipe for a winning formula early for the wild cats but Daniel gavi will head back to the mound hoping to keep

Northwestern quiet we’ll be right back you’re watching listening I’ll get that right eventually to Bon cookman baseball on the cat ey Network Trent lolis the first baseman leads off the top of the third for Northwestern fresh off a two-run inning in the second he will take a ball to lead things off

Northwestern feeling themselves at the plate carrying the momentum from game one into game two this one is hit hard to first base a diving stop by Manny surain he fires over to gavia at first it is just in time and there is one away just in time is an understatement

Barely gets that in there before the base running gets there but gets that out gets a tough first out that’s exactly what this defense needed and a little bit of Retribution for G who’s able to rush over and cover the bag after the misplay an inning AO the first pitch to Owen mof

Fatrick is a strike two-run lead for Northwestern as a swing in a Miss makes it quickly an 02 count e fatrick 0 for one so far in this one was two for five with a pair of RBI in the first game with the long ball doing the work there another one fouled

Off count will stay 02 but that was the crusher in game one today for bethon cookman it’s the long home run and the first pitch he saw from the first pitch in his outing for Kobe lovsky as this one is popped High into shallow right center

Field Figaroa is on makes the play and quickly tour away game continues to move at a lightning pace feels like a getaway day even though just Saturday teams are playing like teams that want to go hangout hotel for Northwestern this one is popped foul to Bennett markinson who also 0 for

One today that one over in The Concourse behind us out in right second Pitch to him is fouled just in front of the bethon cookman Dugout and two count better control from caveria to start this inning this one a high fast ball is taken the other way but it’s foul

Another one of those hits similar to what we saw I believe it was from markinson in the first game today got a fast ball high that he managed to get around as this one is low it’s tough to get on top of those High fast balls

Enough to put that in play and not pop it up but he’s done a good job of that today that one is low again count will reach two and two after a couple of foul balls to start the ab the two two is slapped over to second

Base but Vasquez is there with the glove makes the play fires over to surain and that will retire the side well a good bounceback inning from Daniel gavia gets the Northwestern Wildcats down quickly in order and we will head to the bottom of the third bethon cookman still looking to put

Something on the board we’ll be right back you’re listening to BCU baseball on the cat ey Network for for Jamie viae will lead things off in the bottom half of the third with bth cookman trailing Northwestern two nothing here at Jackie Robinson ballpark in the second game of a double header he

Swings through the first pitch of the inning go down 0 and one it seems the bikers have reached the part of the night where they just want to go drive across the bridge behind us and so we’ve seen plenty of them tonight shows bunt but it is bunted foul back behind home

Plate barely even got his Bat on that he had to basically dive at it so really wasn’t worth it in that situation but looks to bounce back here no bunt here big swing and a miss he goes down on three straight strikes not the response the wild cats

Were looking for there Daniel Figaroa the leadoff hitter will return to the plate as we reach the top of the Wildcats order Figaroa 0 for one with a strikeout his first time up first pitch to him in there for a strike right down the middle and the Sun

Is close to dipping below the left field line the lights are on here at Jackie Robinson that ball is in the dirt a nice frame job by the catcher to make that close Bennett markinson the 1-1 is hit down the line and Fair ball down the left field line Figaroa

Digs in for second as the ball continues to bounce around in left field he is held up at second by coach Hernandez serving as the third base coach this year and he’ll be in there with an easy double Great Piece of hitting there gets it down the third Basel line Out Of

Reach of the third baseman who did make an outstanding diving effort just just couldn’t get his hand or his glove on it and gets a stand up double to basically lead off the inning cuz though you know three strike strikeout really doesn’t start anybody off this ball is hit hard

Into left field running on it cannot get to it is Mills you know I got a chance to hang out in the Dugout for the Florida game in the midweek since we did not travel radio is there for media purposes doing some photography doing some other things and got to see kind of

What goes on with Coach Hernandez now at the third base coach position for the first time it was traditionally hitting coach Jose carbo but now he has taken over that role allowing Derek Carta to kind of be the commander-in-chief down there as Garrett Chun takes a ball to start out his

Ab and it’s just very interesting to watch the difference in In Cadence the difference in approach that cartaya has brought to really change things up for the BCU lineup takes another ball does Chun it’s it’s a wild pitch in the dirt and Figaroa will hustle down to Third

Base so a runner on third with one away for Garrett Chun who already has a hit today he is one for one but everything’s very well organized you know especially it’s interesting when a new relief pitcher comes in to watch all the bats kind of huddle around Derek cartaya and

Get the the rund down get the approach he’s very methodical very on point with all of it as that one’s a ball to bring us to a three one count now for Chun and the start out the season they’ve done a really good job of of listening just you

Know timely hittings timely hitting but otherwise they execute that game plan to Perfection as there is a ball to Chun he will take a base to put Runners on the corners for Sergio Rivera but absolutely with with Coach cartaya he’s you know coach head coach Hernandez has really lauded the approach

Overall that cartaya has brought just a if nothing else to kind of change the norm shake things up a little bit but there’s certainly been a different approach at the plate a much more patient approach from the Wildcats this year than we saw early last year plan

Has been pretty simple get to the bullpen as soon as possible and do your work there first pitch to Rivera inside but called a strike yeah working those long counts are important they can get in the pitcher’s head at certain points it just is very intelligent baseball

Allows you to see more of the pitches uh Arsenal is a very positive way to play throw over to first but Chun Dives back in safely we’ve had Runners at the corners all the time for theth cookman is just getting those runs across that’s been

The problem yeah two men left on base so far like we said you cannot overestimate the importance of getting runs like this in they do pile up later in the game as the runner Chun goes this one is fouled off off towards the Northwestern Dugout it will

Hit just in front of us here over at the turtles nest in right field out of play if I wasn’t Tethered to the broadcast Booth I would have ran and tried to catch that but I’d end up breaking some I have no doubt you would have made a spectacular play

Y as Kyle poof throws over to First checking in on Chun again after the steel attempt he gets back in safely PTO has struck out three already has walked a batter allowed four hits so kind of what we’ve seen from a lot of this pitching staff for Northwestern so far

It’s very much been bended but don’t break and save for a four spot in the opening game they did not break as Chun goes throw down to second is not in time and offline and the throw is bobbled by mof fatrick which allows the run to come in and score that

Is Daniel Figaroa and the bth cing the Wildcats steal one back it is 2-1 yep Michael Patrick didn’t have the out at second probably could have at least made the runner at third stay but just couldn’t collect the ball leading to that run now you have a runner at second with only one

Out the one-w to Sergio Rivera is fouled back and Henson that’s the third time this weekend that we have seen the steel attempt that’s the second for BCU there was one for Northwestern earlier today where the steel attempt is really just to set up the runner from third going

Home and it’s worked every time yep it’s it’s very hard to stop because if you go for that immediately go Oh I’m throw it to the catcher as this one is fouled back yep immediately throw it to The Catcher And then you just give the base

Up for free and what if they weren’t going for that that whole time and now you just giving them a free base it just it’s very uh hard situation to win and I think it’s a communication thing that probably grows throughout the season for for any team where at a certain point

With just one out you kind of have to consider letting that one go or or consider your approach maybe fooling guys as that one Northwestern wanted the call but that will be a ball count will run to three and two on Sergio Rivera with bethon cookman now within a

Run 2-1 runner on second one away pitch to him swung on bounced over to Short Stop it’ll go to First and that will be the second out of the inning but not before Garrett Chun trots his way over to first night job there by Livermore to gather and throw over on a

Big hop one of those hops you only really see at a turf field like Jackie Robinson yeah CH was right there you know if you give give him an extra second he probably gets there and beats that throw out so good job defensively but now you have that runner at

Third that’ll bring up George Rodriguez 0 for one today he hits this one to the same spot over in short on the ground it is thrown over to First and that will retire the side so the wild cats grab one but that’s all it is a 2-1 ball game now as Daniel gavia

Makes his Trot back out to the mound appreciate everybody hanging with us here on a Audio Only call of bethon cookman versus Northwestern we’ll be right back you’re listening to BCU baseball on the cat Network leading things off for Northwestern here in the top of the fourth inning Jackson

Freeman freshman right fielder one of three freshman in the lineup for Northwestern today first pitch to him is outside for ball one he’ll take another pitch this one at the knees to Jump Ahead two nothing against Daniel Gia he will throw pitch number 40 next he’s got a strikeout hasn’t walked

Anybody this one is barreled up into right field that will go all the way to the wall down the line digging for second is Freeman he will take it easily as Northwestern once again putting a leadoff Runner this time in scoring position and in a 2-1 game it’s a scary sight to put

Northwestern in distance of taking that run that they L up in the bottom of the third right back and some hard contact off gavia as Griffin Mills stands in the box now the righty takes the ball high for ball one gavia wind and Deals on the one0 swung through one and

One healthy lead there for Jackson Freeman over at second but he will stay put Pitch hit over to short viae gathers gets the lead Runner throws over to third waiting on the call Henson I’m not sure I saw the third base official make a call but he has not

Been sent out to The Dugout so it looks as though he is safe look like he called time for a possible injured wild cat but he didn’t say out there and so he will be awarded the base Jackson Freeman as via tried to get the

Lead Runner but no Force at the bag so Ramsey Cordova was unable to apply the tag and just like that runers at the corners with nobody out now for Tony Livermore who is one for one with an RBI today driving in the first run for Northwestern ceria’s first pitch to him

Is a breaking ball low ball one can’t afford a wild pitch here it would really really mess up the Wildcat chances of really getting back into this one so tough with how big that back stop is at this ballpark a wild pitch can spell disaster this one is a fast ball right

Down the middle it is hit High into left field Chun racing on he is there the run will come in to score thought that ball might leak foul but the run will come across as Jackson Freeman makes it a 3-1 ball game Northwestern takes the run right back

Yep that was on the edge of foul territory Chun might have been able let it go out and try to get a ground ball but you know you can’t play hypothetical like that surprised Griffin Mills stayed put at first especially when Chun threw to the third basem Cordova but nonetheless Joshua Ramos

Takes a ball to open up his second plate appearance of the night another guy one for one with an RBI he takes that one for a strike one and one the bottom of this this Northwestern order as yet another group of bikers is right behind us and much louder now that

We’re out here more exposed as this ball is hit High into left field but very foul from our angle it looks like the Northwestern Dugout thought maybe that one was going to approach the foul pole for a home run but no such luck wasn’t quite close enough good contact on a bar

Up really well just onew is taken for a ball high thought we might see Rodriguez attempt to throw over it first to try to catch the runner Mills sleeping but he will hold on to it as Mills gets back in gavia the two two now as the runner

Goes that one is a strike the tag is applied but Mills is safe had too much of a lead went off of the pitch perfectly Ed it up excuse me that one was a ball it was a bit low so that will be a full count on

Ramos with yet another runner in scoring position he hits this one on a hop over to Third Base Cordova gathers but it is foul another great attempt at a defensive play there just was foul always tough to make those snags off the Hop here the Jack especially one like that

Full Count now this one is hit out into left high and deep but over the clubhouse count will remain full to Joshua Ramos and this one is taken in the dirt for ball four runners on first and second now with just one away he’s had some trouble Daniel just

Start this game out just getting the location now when the fast Ball’s not there he doesn’t have the Velocity or the stuff guy that relies on control balls lower in the zone trying to get ground balls for outs as he throws a first pitch to The Nine hitter Griffin arnone another

One in the dirt breaking ball has been breaking a bit low so far as the sun is completely set beyond the bleachers and things start to get darker here under the lights via deals it is inside ball two just not finding his location is gavia and are known with the double the

Triple earlier in this weekend he will take a strike clearly looking to be gifted the walk to load the bases but gavia fires one in there to get back within 2-1 now this one is hit hard down the line and Fair ball into right field as the

Run will come in to score arnone already at second base as another run will come in that is Ramos he will score and two more runs for Northwestern who have really started to swing the bat well in the latter half of this series essentially since the sixth inning of

Game one it has been all Northwestern at the plate they have barreled up some great balls that’s another excellent piece of hitting down the right field line and they lead Now by a pair first I wasn’t sure I thought that maybe the third at third over there he

Was going to get tagged or something good job by Northwest gav’s first pitch to the lead off hitter ban Kina is a strike as he will step over and have a quick conversation with head coach Ben Greenspan Greenspan was named head coach just last year first year for him with the

Program served as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Michigan for 2023 also an assistant coach at Cal Poly Technic as the 01 pitch to Bean Ken’s foul back he spent Seven Seasons at Arizona State and six seasons at Indiana so he’s had a lot of two strikes swinging a

Miss but the home PL official does say he made contact so he will stay alive at 0 and2 dobi in Kina Greenspan was named one of baseball’s top assistant coaches to watch by D1 baseball known as a big time recruiter this ball is hit hard out into center

Field going back on it is Rivera he will make the play on the run but a run will come across the score and now it’s a 51 ball game on the sacrifice fly from banina he drives in another run that is Joshua Ramos who comes around to score and Griff and ourn

Is down at third that ball is inside now on the number two hitter the sophomore first baseman Trent molis over two today game two here this one is hit up the middle Peter Vasquez will make a leaping effort to get the out at first and he does an outstanding

Play right there on a slow rolling ball Vasquez gets in on it fires it over and we are out of the inning but again Northwestern puts up three this time their lead now 5-1 it’s going to take some BCU bats to steal a win here in the

Series finale we’ll be right back you’re listening to BCU baseball on the cat ey Network well the Wildcats have some work to do down 51 in the bottom of the fourth inning to Northwestern as Jose Gonzalez steps in to lead things off in the bottom of the fourth here in

Game two he hits this one foul down the left field line wind has picked up a little bit blowing out to dead center field right now we’ve seen it Blow just about every direction it can here at the Jack today with all the weather but it looks like

We are past the worst of it which really wasn’t too bad save for a few lightning strikes well away from us but due to some safety regulations we took a little bit of a pause to let all that blow over the 01 to Rodriguez is lined into center

Field that will be a base hit for Gonzalez excuse me and the Wildcats again putting Runners on have yet to capitalize so far just the one run have stranded three but off to a good start certainly starting the inning the right way as Manny surain will dig in for

BCU whoa and that pitch is hit High into left field but Mills is under it and Gonzalez will Retreat back to first one pitch and out for Manny Su Frain a tough start four pitches for him so far he’s got a fly out and a strike out work was wind

Was working in his favor just didn’t get enough pop on it some of that opposite field power there from surain but not quite enough as Peter Vasquez he’ll take to the plate now with one on and one out first pitch to him as a swing and a

Miss try to kind of knife at that one but behind on the fast ball from Kyle poof who was struck out three walked one allowed the one run four hits so far he throws over to First checking in on Gonzalez he Dives back long look in for

Poof he delivers and this one is hit over through the hole at Short Stop up and that will be a base hit for Peter Vasquez as kind of didn’t look like Livermore wanted to make that play there I think he could have potentially made an effort there but watch that one sail

Through the hole Yeah first I thought I hit the pitcher because how he turned around but gets through that Gap now you got Runners at first and second really need to take advantage of this opportunity two on one out that will bring us to Ramsay’s Cordova another round of bikes finds

Their way behind us he fouls the first pitch he sees back into the grand stands Cordova so far 0 for one tonight game one he was one for four anchoring Third Base down there for the wild cats he fouls this one off this one will head over towards us it

Will get out of play just above my head and kick a fair amount of stuff off the roof of the turtles Nest really loud under hear when a ball hits the roof of the turtles Nest is 10 so you hear everything thought that one might sneak its way maybe bounce up to

Us but not quite as Cordova faces no two count the delivery is in the dirt and a wild pitch will allow the runners to move up for BCU Gonzalez makes the turn but does not go any further as the Wildcats have second and third now with one away definitely not what northwester

Needed for themselves now you got second and third due to that wild pitch as you said the back Stop’s real big so it was a lot of time for those Runners to get and move up that ball spent so much time in the air the catcher couldn’t even really Coral

It this one is hit over to the third baseman or right back to the pitcher excuse me and now we have Gonzalez is caught in a rund down goes from the catcher over to Third and the tag is applied for the second out of the inning

Vasquez stays put at second uh excuse me that is over at first we have Frankie feas excuse me that was a pinch hitter I didn’t have time to check that one out but febles replaced Cordova tough for us to tell out here for that angle we have Fela is a

Speedster been around the program for a handful of years but either way he is on Via the fielders Choice the first pitch to Via take taken for a ball very disciplined approach on this side bat especially compared to the other ones they’ve had be struck out his first appearance

Tonight pitch to him another one in the dirt quickly up 20 tough break for the Wildcats once again as Gonzalez is tagged out trying to go for home a nice heads up play by poof to get him caught in that rund down this one is popped straight up over

Towards the left side of the infield it will be the third baseman make that the short stop oh no it was the third baseman who came up with that that is bian Kina who retires the side yet another promising inning for the wild cats leaves two runs stranded one caught

On the base paths and it will remain a 5-1 contest with Northwestern holding on to the lead as we head to the fifth you’re listening to BCU BAS on the cat ey Network we’ll take a quick break and be right back Owen mle fatrick who had the Homer in game one

Today will lead us off as we are quickly to the top of the fifth in just under an hour of play here at Jackie Robinson Ballpark and it sound like there hasn’t been any offense either that’s the funniest part five hits for uh the wild cats of Northwestern and

Forman as the second Pitch is chopped over to the third baseman Cordova fires over to Manny surain at first and another quick out a lot of aggressive like you said Henson aggressive approach at the plate for both sides has resulted in a lot of quick Innings to this point

As we wrap up our three- game series here Northwestern looking for a three-game sweep that’ll bring up Bennett markinson the catcher he takes a ball from gavia Ria has only walked one thus far but still struggled a bit with control as that one also sails a bit high for ball

Two just hasn’t quite been able to locate like he did last week when he was named swack pitcher of the week that one’s a strike two and one maybe if you point that out again he’ll get another strike this one is another breaking ball

On a lower half of the plate for a stke two and two now popped up that one is popped up over to the foul territory that side of third base and Ramsey Cordova is over there to make the play and quickly two outs away a nice bounceback inning we said that once

Before for gavia who worked a quick third and he will has all the makings of the start of a quick fourth or fifth or fifth rather excuse me this one is fouled back that is Jackson Freeman who is one for two today this one is again fouled it will reach out of play

Over into the left field bleachers and the 02 that one is Lookout over into the Northwestern Bullpen but he’s all good but the grouping at the edge of the Dugout here ducks for cover speaking of the bullpen there two arms throwing in the Northwestern pen as a

Big swing a Miss on a high fast ball from gavia gets the wild cats out without a base run runner in the fifth still trailing by 451 your Northwestern lead as we head to the bottom half of the fifth inning you’re listening to beum cookan baseball on the cat ey Network

Well with a pair of arms warming in the Northwestern Bullpen Kyle poof will stay on the mound as we hit the bottom of the fifth at Jackie Robinson ballpark he’s only thrown 53 pitches so far has allowed six hits struck out three walked one but just the one earned allow run

Run allowed like we said it’s been very much Bend but don’t break for Northwestern as it has been all weekend but they’ve kept BCU to just one run through the first four leading things off is the leadoff hitter Daniel Figaroa he takes a ball figuroa one for two tonight with a

Strikeout this one is a big swing and a miss even things up at one and one now blew that right past him there this one is hit hard over to Short Stop but Le uh Livermore will make the play over and a close play at first sees

Lola stretch out for the first out of the inning kind of a bang bang play really wasn’t enough time to uh get to first base was close close but just called out close but no cigar and Garrett Chun will dig in now he’s got a walk and a hit into two plate

Appearances he has been red hot to start this season and that has continued into this weekend he takes a strike on the lower half of the plate with one away here in the bottom half of the fifth and how you he’s playing is going to be you

Know that’s how you get those big league opportunities that’s how you get to the minor system if you play really well and this ball was sent back the other way out into left but it holds up for Mills and once again another quick start to an inning for the wild cats yep very

No one’s really being patient on either team which you know maybe the coaches had something they see something in both pitches where it’s like get after them early but not much patience on either side of the coin here definitely a more aggressive approach this time around than game one

Today the number three hitter Sergio Rivera takes a ball with two away in the fifth this one he smacks out into dead center field high and deep but not quite deep enough as Griffin arnone is there to make the out just not enough behind it maybe if

He got a little more underneath it the wind could have helped that one get out but he also picked the deepest part of the ballpark 400 feat to dead center that one probably went 380 yep and we will head to the sixth inning now with Northwestern still holding on the 5-1

Lead Daniel gavia will head back to the mound we’ll be right back you’re watching bethon cing baseball on the cat ey Network well we are already in the top of the sixth inning just over an hour into this one we started back at 5:30 and at 6:37

P.m. we are in the sixth inning as Daniel gavia dig in for his sixth inning of work his first pitch is ruled a ball to Griffin Mills who has had a nice night defensively out in left as he takes second straight ball for ball two he is one for two

Tonight getting his first action of the Season swinging a Miss on that one on the breaking ball down low straight through it just a great curve on that breaking ball gavia another breaking ball this one is a strike as well he has not got a ton of swinging misses

Tonight but he is relied on Deception to get some swings as that one is just a bit low triy to pitch in the same spot no offering from Mills there and that’s back outside onto the road haven’t seen any bikers get hit yet cynical side of me might like to see

It at some point but they’re doing us no harm just a little loud as this one is hit back to the mound gavia gathers throws over to First surain stretches out into the base path to make the play one away and that’s one of the longer abats we’ve seen this

Game has been a quick one two arms working in the Northwestern Bullpen we have one in the Wildcats pen not sure who that is from all the way down here even with binoculars we are so far away at the opposite side of the field as the

First pitch to Tony Livermore who is one for one tonight with a pair of RB takes a ball that one is high for ball two almost eye level with the batter two count breaking ball this time in the lower half of the zone and a nice one is in there for a

Strike two and one the count now gavia working very quickly shows bunt does Liver More but he will pull it back it’s now Northwestern being a little more patient at the plate the 3-1 is in there Full Count now one of the very rare full counts as we

Talked about over the bre break this game has moved very quickly although with these dark clouds looming behind the left field bleachers it may need to move quicker as this one is fouled straight back into those bleachers tough to tell if they’re actually some menacing clouds or if it’s

Just the sun really beginning to set only one fouled straight back off The netting and you got to Hope as the right fielder ties his shoe a short stop rather the shift confus me a little bit and that ball is high as Livermore will take a base one out base runner for

Northwestern shift was very much in play only one Fielder on the third base side of the field but it doesn’t matter sciria sees Joshua Ramos dig in Ramos I believe excuse me I want to make sure I get that pronun pronunciation right it is Ramos he will take a

Ball cavaria checks over on the runner he will throw over but back in standing is Livermore a very patient approach that Northwest that has picked up here G will again check over and Livermore with not a huge lead at first will just step back in but it’s not like they need

It a lot of these head runs they start basically by the first base big swing in a Miss down to a knee goes Ramos Ramos want to send that back to Evon Illinois with him but doesn’t get any of the ball another throw over but it hasn’t been small ball in this

Game that’s put Northwestern in front it’s been consistent rallies consecutive hits been nothing cute about the Approach at the plate they have taken advantage of some missed spots for gavia as he delivers the 1-1 swinging a miss one and two one-onone out 5-1 lead for Northwestern as we are once

Again seeing Daniel Gia check over at first he’s thrown over four times now and many more times on the night as a whole very very wary of the runner runner does not go but the ball is hit out into right Figaroa makes the play and he is doubled

Up after all of that after all the staying by the plate being patient Tony Livermore expected that ball to get down was all the way past the short stop and cannot get back to First in time for figuroa to make the play blunder there on the base pass for Northwestern

Potentially opens the door for the Bon cookman Wildcats to jump back in this one they still Trail 5-1 we head to the bottom of the sixth here we listening to bth cman baseball on the cat ey Network Omar sag takes over on the bump for Northwestern as they hold the 5-1 lead

That will spell the end of the night for starter Kyle poof who was solid across five innings of work for Northwestern his final line before we tell you a little more about sag five innings pitched one run earned on six hits with three strikeouts and a walk so let up a

Fair amount of base runners but it did not hurt him yeah as he is in line for the win should things hold where they are as for Amar sag the sophomore righty out of College Station Texas transfer from UT Dallas so far this season he has worked three innings

In the mid weer last week against Illinois state pitch three allowed one run earned on a pair of hits struck out three so bethon cookman will see a new look on the mound but they did accomplish their goal of getting to the bullpen which is something we’ve seen

Coach hernandz preach all season long much of last season so we’ll see how that game plan works out here as George Rodriguez slaps one through the hole at shortstop gets by the diving glove of Livermore and he will lead things off with one pitch and a base hit sg’s first

Pitch he throws is laced back up the middle for a hit first of the night for Rodriguez y he immediately saw what he wanted and just hits it right to that Gap nice piece of hitting there is now to be Jose Gonzalez who will take a ball the Wildcats certainly haven’t

Tried to do too much at the plate we we’ve seen a lot early in the season a lot of swinging for the fences a lot of big uppercut swings but they’ve taken what the defense what the pitching has given them yeah they’ve done a great job of

That but part of the reason we’re already at the bottom of the sixth is because they got kind of went away from that in the first couple of frames little swing happy Gonzalez faces the one-1 count now sag delivers that one is blowing outside two and one

That one’s a strike even up to count at two and two now at UT Dallas a season AG Go played in five games all out of relief went 0 and one with a 16.62% four strikeouts in four Innings is the worst return that’s a you know literally

A strikeout per inning well when it results in a 16 ER that’s not a great payoff there as the runner goes this one is hit High into the Gap in center field but running on making the play is unnown and Rodriguez will be forced to retreat

To first base and due to that you know you got to it starts to make you question like why you know logically 16.5 ra that’s a lot of runs being allowed and you see in the Wildcats get a lot of good contact on the ball just to him coming in this

Game getting some of his first action at the division one level as Manny surain swings and fouls off the first pitch he sees from the righty as the sun is all but completely set here at Jackie Robinson Manny surain takes a ball that one is outside one and

One a real dramatic sunset here Jackie Robinson as they always are here in Daytona Beach beautiful Daytona Beach nice cool night what was a hot humid day this one is popped straight up and it will go foul just behind the netting over by Third Base

The one two now of surain is high no offering there from the big Lefty we are not at at two two yep trying to work the uh first baseman real hard here and that’s another ball and that’s a that will give Manny surain a base to put Runners on first and second

Rodriguez trots down to second base surain will take a bag at first and the Wildcats yet again will put runners in scoring position two Runners on just one away this is the kind of situation that BCU asks for as Peter Vasquez another Lefty will take to the plate trying to make something happen

And bring BCU ever closer in the series finale here first pitch to him low in the zone breaking ball is a strike he’s a much more methodical pitcher than the ones we’ve seen slow the game down a lot very careful with what he does he throws another ball there one and one

The count ball trickles away a bit from markinson but not enough to advance any runners he’s able to take a couple steps in front of the plate and gather that one 1-1 now to vas Northwestern still with that 51 lead as we get to the latter half of the game

Here that one is in the dirt and that one will reach the back stop or did it hit Peter Vasquez it appears that it did as he has awarded first base and the bases are jammed now for Frankie feas the pitcher really I think the runners you know behind him and the lead

Runner just kind of affects how he pitches he’s been you know taking a lot of time to make sure that they don’t run off on him but he on that delivery even he tried to do a little slide delivery and it messed up his accuracy we will have a little bit of a

Meeting on the mound between the Northwestern wild cats as they discuss a little bit of a rough start for S geg here at the Jack Frankie feess will be the batter a guy who has stuck around this this is his fourth year with the Wildcat start here as a freshman in the co

Shorten 2020 season the fifth year out of hiia has endured a lot seen a lot with his wild cats program this is his third appearance of the Season his second at bat of the Season excuse me his third after one earlier today he did reach basee in his first time up first pitch

To him he down the middle for a strike Frankie does have a hit previously and a run scored and an RBI he did so back in the Stone Hill series as the second Pitch to him is in the dirt got to be careful not to get too wild or you may

See a run cross for free here and certainly can’t afford the free pass either s gig’s Pace has picked up a little bit with the bases loaded swinging a Miss on a high fast ball nice pitch there from sag to get Frankie down onew now s g really needs to strike this batter

Out that one again in the dirt count even up at two and two last year Frankie appeared in seven games hit 167 but only got six at bats he was primarily used as a pinch hitter particularly early in the season dealt with some health issues

Big cut and a miss and Frankie will go down on strikes two away now s did a good job there uh forcing him to swing at anything and everything he wanted to swing at two on or excuse me two out with three runners on bases are Juiced for Jamie

Viaan who takes the first pitch for a ball it’s been a long day for baseball there’s still a solid amount of people out here yeah many of them have come back from weathering the weather in in between games that one outside ball two now thee is going to

Make sag prove it or face an RBI walk not careful with control here another high pitch that’s a three 0 and now you do not have the green light here you need this run absolutely viae bat on the shoulder all the way I would imagine over for two

Tonight with a strike out no reason to offer at this one sag cannot find the strike zone that ball is in the dirt no chance of a swing from viaan as the Run comes into to score that is George Rodriguez will Trot across and it

Is a 5-2 ball game now in the bottom of the sixth the best offensive opportunity the Wildcats have had thus far and they’ve had plenty yep and now the leading run what would give the wild cats lead obviously is now at base that will bring us to the top of

The order Daniel figuro looking to do some serious damage here he takes a strike s gig finally finds the Zone Figaroa does not have a homer on the year if anybody is thinking Grand Slam this one he hits high not very deep out into right it is a foul ball just

Beyond the line that ball they have very well dropped in if it were not across the line and and everybody will head back to their respective positions on the base paths at Indian Hills Community College last year Figaroa did have one home run primarily a doubles guy though 17 of them as he

Hit 353 with the Warriors the 02 swing and a miss and bethon cookman will strand three runners make it eight overall on the night and there’s going to be a lot of frustration over in that Wild Cat’s Dugout as they let some more slip away

They do take one though it is five to2 now we will turn things over to the seventh looks like we may have a new arm on the mound but we’ll introduce him when we come back you’re listening to bth baseball on the cat ey Network Patrick gror takes over on the mound for

The wild cat spelling the end of the day for the starter Daniel gavia we’ll get you his final line in just a second before we do that we’ll tell you a little bit about gror as the nine hitter Griffin rown digs in at the plate Gorka senior

From Landa Lakes Florida Land of Lakes High School his first pitch is a ball he did play ball in the off season spent some time with the Delan Suns of course before that he was another kid out of FC Jacksonville as arnone jumps out two after another ball from the right-hander

Appeared in 35 games last year with the Blue Wave started one this ball is swung on and missed big uppercut swing from ourown and it is two and one he appeared in 35 games seven erra and 46 Innings walked 31 to 42 strikeouts just over an 8K per nine

Ratio another one in the dirt three and one he does hold the single season record for saves at FSCJ with 11 and of course helped his team to a region 8 championship and a South Atlantic Conference Championship this one is in there for a strike and he has worked the count full

At three and two in four Innings he struck out four allowing just a run with the Delan suns in the off season over three appearances also played Club ball for the Florida burn as this one is fouled off count War M three and two breaking ball there but it is a bit

Too low as the leadoff hitter Arn is walked and we will turn things over to the top of the lineup and Vince banina who is 0 for two today does have an RBI one of five for Northwestern as they hold on that 5-2 lead throw over to

First but AR known is back in safely Northwestern five runs on five hits so far bethon cookman just two runs on seven hits they do have an error so plenty to talk about for the wild cats as another throw over are known as back in still waiting on the first pitch to

Bean Kina after two throws over from Patrick gror who did appear in the week midweek contest against Florida first pitch ball to bian Kina gor has made two appearances thus far both of them two innings so he’s pitched four total he did go to scoreless against Florida allowed a walk and

Struck out one against one of the most potent lineups in the country a really strong effort a lot of composure for gror up in Gainesville this week he also appeared against Stonehill allowed run run unearned after two walks three strikeouts against the sky Hawks as this ball is flared foul back behind the

Press Box work 62 170 lanky right-hander look for a pitch out here nothing going there as the breaking ball is a bit outside two and one to be in Kina not been a throw over since those first handful at the beginning to are known this ball is

Popped up over on the third base side but it will drift foul off the roof of the home Clubhouse the very Green Building in a field in a ballpark full of green with the home of the Daytona Tortugas who will get their season kick started and I believe it’s 37 days from now

Yep that ball is another one outside full count again second straight full count for gror trugas are a ray affiliate not Rays Reds Reds yes sir they are the single a affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds and a staple of downtown Daytona Beach if you are local and have not been

Into a Tortugas game I highly recommend it they have a great time do minor league baseball right this ball is hit High out into center field on the Run Garrett Chun makes the play and the runner unnown will have to retreat to first first out of the inning first out of the

Outing for Patrick gror starting to get a bit chilly yep out here at the Jack after we started off very balmy this morning there’s a little bit of a conversation between the official positioned at second base and Coach Hernandez hard to tell what they’re going on hernandz pointed

To his heel for a moment area not sure if there was maybe some kind of bulk warning I it’s very tough to tell from all the way out here when we feel very disconnected from much of the game but Trent lolis now as there’s a quick throw over tried a little

Deception did g to get our known but he’s still back in no problem lolis over for three so far tonight another throw over and one of these days the W bethon cookman or Northwestern will get an out with one of these pitch outs I’m more surprised that

We haven’t seen one thrown away with just the amount of times it seems like you’re due eventually but both sides have done a great job especially bethon cookman have not of avoiding the error as that ball is low one and0 to Trent lolis this ball is bounced over to first

Base but foul past the glove of Manny surain Trent LOL is the sophomore out of Newport Beach California big kid 63205 second year with the program yet another throw over lolis the one-1 count Runner goes arnone down to second he will make it in safely a nice tag attempt by viae the

Short stop but no luck as Arnon showing the speed got a great jump on the ball even with really solid execution there from Rodriguez to viae he will make it down to Second yep ball was just a bit too low to really allow the catcher to get him in time

That ball in the lower half of the Zone a breaking ball is taken for strike two to even things up at two and two now oron did a lot of playing time as a freshman last year that breaking ball is in the dirt Runners cannot Advance as

Rodriguez is there to Corral it last year he did have 16 hits in 85 at bats appeared in 21 games started started 21 games I should say on a freshman making impact just as lolis did last year he will swing through this one for strike three that

Will bring us to the second out of the inning as Owen mof fatrick will head back to the box with a runner on second and two away Northwestern still with the five nothing lead or 52 lead rather this ball is hit hard and high into left center field

Garett Chun racing on throws the glove up it is off the wall nobody could track that one down as M fatrick digs in at second he drives in the Run are known with no problem no play at the plate stand up double for mof fatrick the second

Baseman and M fer could have went yard there if he just gets a little bit more of the ball but a great piece hidden from him and really just the defender can’t do much of anything about that no chance to track that one down even despite a great run from both

Chun and Rivera the first pitch slapped the other way this is Jackson Bennett markinson excuse me that will not score the run as I think the ball got to Garrett Chun and left a bit too quickly so m fatrick is stuck at third but a quick single there from

Bennett markinson and Runners are at the corners Northwestern has already put one in in the inning it is six to2 now but they are hunting for more as Jackson Freeman takes the plate catcher Rodriguez will come out and go over his signs or the play with gror I say signs

But the wild cats are all universally using pitch commom now so there are no signs first pitch in there for a strike breaking ball right down the middle technology has advanced man got rid of signs and this football has the basically pitch comp now with coordinators able to talk to their

Quarterbacks ball a bit high but I think it’s a welcome change for baseball specifically just one more thing to clutter the game balloon game times a little bit one less thing for people to complain about when it comes to the whole stealing signs issue ball is fouled back I think it

Brings just a more pure game of baseball though many would argue that sign stealing is part of the game is kind of that mental part of the game where teams can gain an edge if they are able to pick off the signs from the pitcher but that’s an argument for

Another day as this one is fouled off by Freeman he is down one two now and a complete shift from the first five innings compared to now a lot more battling in these at bats a lot longer at bats no one’s getting down the first you know three pitches of the onew fouled

Away gork has walked one but for the most part been in control just the hard contact has missed his spots a little bit on the heart of the plate the onew runner goes ball is popped po up that one will be in play will anybody be able to run down and

Make the catch they will not as it bounce off the bullpen Mound for the wild cats it is a foul ball Chun playing pretty far over towards left Center is unable to run on and make that just a little too far out in front of everybody involved but still a foul

So Jackson Freeman facing a one-w count against Patrick gor two out Runners at the corners for Northwestern Runner goes once again this ball chopped over to surain at first it is a foul ball and we will do it again in one for three tonight does have a strikeout Runner goes once again this

One is hit over to the shift vaset grabs it over to surain and that will retire the side but Northwestern grabs one more they now lead six to2 bethon cookman will try to see if they can reverse their woses with runners in scoring position they’ve stranded eight already

We’ll see what they bring to the plate as we head to the bottom half of the seventh inning you’re listening to bethon cookman baseball on the cat ey Network Omar sag remains on the hill after his first inning of relief in which he allowed one run to bethon cookman scratching across

Their first of the game but still work to do as Northwestern grabs that run right back in the top half of the second off of Patrick gror and the Wildcats will look to do so as Garrett Chun will be the lead off batter with just nine outs remaining for

The Wildcats in an attempt to take a game from Big 10 Northwestern coming in for a weekend series here at Jackie Robinson ballpark one more non-conference weekend here at the Jack next weekend Maine will come in for three at BCU s gags first pitch to Chun in there

For a strike before main comes in of course the the wild cats will travel to Florida International for a midweek game that’s a six o00 start on Tuesday down in Miami trying to complete a season sweep of panthers as that one is in there for a ball one and one to

Chun th kman took down Ford international here at the Jack 104 in their first midweek contest and their first ma High major win on a midweek in quite some time dating back two three seasons ago 2 or 21 now the count to Garrett Chun who has reached base a couple of

Times tonight he takes a ball there Chun is one for two tonight with a walk in three plate appearances then of course Maine will come in 7 o’clock first pitch on Friday the 8th six o’clock Saturday the 9th and a one o00 start on Sunday

This ball is hit hard out down the line in right field it will hang up just long enough losing the hat is Freeman but he gathers and makes the play now only eight outs to get a fourpoint you know come back from this four-point deficit well hit ball just good defense

For Northwestern as we welcome Sergio Rivera to the plate once again they will take on Louisville for a three- game series next weekend in Louisville first pitch to Rivera is a strike on the outside half of the plate they are set for a 2 o’ 3:00 Eastern start on

Friday as they wrap up non-conference as well this ball by Rivera is hit down the line in left field this one will get down extra bases rera rounds first heads to second he will get there easily and here we go again with a runner in scoring position for bethon

Cookman they have stranded eight men so far would love to reverse fortunes here it’s going to take more than just one though for the wild cats to erase what is now a four-run deficit and the and the Northwestern still has chances to bat so we don’t even

Know how many they could be down by if they get hot in that eighth or ninth inning like they like to do they have done that so far this one is barreled up nicely up the middle but luckily the Wildcats will avoid the double play as George Rodriguez is

Retired with a ground out to the short stop Livermore fortunately there that Rivera was on second and not on first or we would be double play territory but the wild cats remain in the inning here it is Jose Gonzalez at the plate now Ser R takes a

Few steps off the bag at second but a ball is fired to Gonzalez who is two for three tonight after taking a breather in game one today he’s picked up where he left off a weekend ago being named swack player of the week after five RBIs five hits at Florida GF Coast ason

Perennial Contender two balls no strikes to Gonzalez takes another one three and0 now you wonder after we’ve seen some aggressive approach from BCU early if maybe we’ve settled into something allow the bullpen to throw some more pitches may look look for the walk here over the green light and he is taking

All the way leans out of a fast ball on the inside half of the plate and it will be a 3-1 count that one is low ball four and a five pitch walk is worked by Gonzalez it is two on two out for bethon cookman as Manny surain will head back

Out to the plate surain over for tonight he does have have a strikeout another guy who got a breather in the opening game of the series as we will have a meeting on the mound between Ben Greenspan head coach we will get a call to the bullpen

For Northwestern that will do it for Amar sag as number 44 Jack Dyke hustles his way out to the mound will’ll get you some numbers on him momentarily and I’m sure we’ll get a quick chance to talk about all the action going around today in bethon cookman athletics men’s and women’s

Basketball both in action women took a tough loss to Southern the men overcame the Jaguars by a score of 67-61 women took an overtime loss BCU tennis in action today fell to College of Charleston BCU softball had a pair of games including playing tough number 22 in the country South

Carolina PCU track and field in action as well but tomorrow it’s nothing but golf as head coach Harry Stokes heads up another weekend on the links for bethon cookman golf we have Jack Dyke the right-handed graduate student out of San Francisco California 64230 hit with three strikeouts has

Allowed a pair of doubles as well so another very much Bend but don’t break kind of guy from Northwestern that’s allowed a lot of base runners that whip is quite high but it has not come back to haunt him his most recent outing a prime example in two innings he allowed

Five hits but got two strikeouts Allowed no runs so it’s been kind of a recipe here to set up much of what we’ve seen from bethon cookman that is stranding Runners today we’ve stranded eight so far two on right now facing the new pitcher Dyke for his last full season of work 2023

Dyke appeared in 18 and a third Innings and much like his statistics thus far this season allowed 18 base runners 18 hits I should say walked six struck out six not a strikeout guy did allow 10 runs as he throws a ball to surain who would

Love to put his first hit of the day in play get the wild cats ever closer down six2 here big cut and a miss hunting for the fences was surain on that one he comes up empty swung with all his might there and just got nothing for the most part today the wild

Cats have done a good job of taking what the pitching has given them not trying to get too swing happy there that one is high no offering from surain two and one Dyke looks in looks over at the runner on second deal surain High popup Kareem out of play past the bethon cookman

Dugout a clutch pitch is needed here two two that ball is low outside count runs full on Manny surain surain boasting one of the higher on base percentages thus far on the season for bethon cookman 381 excuse me 559 that’s more like it that was his slugging percentage as he

Will take a walk his team leading 12th of the Season bases are jammed once again this time for Peter Vasquez who is one for two today oh excuse me we will no it is Vasquez I was correct thought I heard a pinch hitter announced over the PA very far distance

From us under the Press Box but no it will be Vasquez with the bases loaded first pitch to him is hit high and not very deep out into left field Mills is under it he makes the play and the wild cats strand three more make it

11 on the night they still Trail six- two and with just six outs to play for bethon cookman they’re facing a bit of a hole but Northwestern will get a chance to add to that lead as we head to the eighth inning here at Jackie Robinson ballpark appreciate everybody hanging

With us here we will take a quick break break and be right back you’re listening to bth baseball on the CI Network as we inch ever closer to the final out of the weekend of our long day double header here at Jackie Robinson ballpark it’ll be Griffin Mills who will get

Things started in the eth for Northwestern holding on to a 62 lead as Patrick gror returns to the mound for bethon cookman the first pitch he throws is a big looping breaking ball but it bounces to the back stop Mills is one for three thus far today he will take a strike

There Mills came into the contest hitting just 077 and four start six appearances overall 13 at bats had just one hit but he did collect one today that’ll help the average yep as he takes a ball this one is hit high and not very deep it is hung up in the

Wind and Rivera is on to make the play in center field wind cut that one down a little bit yep probably would have got a little bit more carry I’m not saying it would have left or anything but definitely would have at least been near the warning

Track very different kind of night than the day we started cool crisp windy as showing bunt is Tony Livermore and he bunts it foul with one away here in the eighth inning another foul ball swinging a miss the manual scoreboard out in left posted a ball after that first one

Although I could have sworn I heard contact from here on the bunt but we will defer to them it it is a 1-1 count I’m not sure what happened there I think Livermore called for time was not granted having some words with the home plate official and maybe we were granted time

As I’m not seeing a change to any of the count either way that one is flared out into right field over into Center Sergio Rivera is there he makes the play two away now very good job defensively just getting out that ball not making it harder than it had to

Be never take for granted plays like that in the wind for sure Josh Ramos he will take first pitch he sees for a ball bit outside that’s Patrick gror just over the 30 pitch mark this one another ball that one low and outside ball two control has definitely been better

In this Frame but has done what Wildcats have looked to for Success a lot which is letting the defense in this case The Outfield do the work as there’s a strike this between Chan Rivera Figaroa a lot of speed in that Outfield it’s kind of been a textbook part of a Jonathan

Hernandez roster so far in his 10 as this one is laced through the hole over at Short Stop out into left field Chun is there to grab it and post it back into the infield but Ramos will reach with a two- out single that’ll bring up Griffin

Arnone one for two tonight with an RBI and a walk guy hitting out of the nine hole is anything but a black hole down there had an outstanding weekend here in Daytona Beach big swing in a Miss there had a lot of break on that just

Couldn’t get his back to it cor is throwing a handful of beautiful curve balls lot of vertical movement he’ll go fast ball on that one another not sure if we were again granted time it appears but gor followed through in the movement anyway which you see a lot of

Pitchers do especially when time is C late I’m not sure maybe if this is a strategy by Northwestern to disrupt the flow of gror but either way we return to play with the 01 count to ourown that one is inside and high chased him out a little bit one and

One that one’s in there at the knees but called a strike one and two on the nine hitter arnone who as we’ve mentioned many times was just a home run away from the cycle last night guy who may find himself higher up in that Northwestern order Runner goes

Throw down to Second VI is there and he is makes the tag are known excuse me that is Ramos is gunned down outstanding throw there by Rodriguez great spot via Fae and the wild cats Escape the inning with no runs despite the two out base hit still some work to do for bth

Cookman they Trail 62 as we head to the bottom of the eighth inning here at Jackie Robinson ballpark stick with us we’ll be right back you’re listening to BCU baseball on the cat ey Network it’ll be Frankie feess to lead things off in the eighth for bethon cookman

Facing reliever Jack Dyke into his second inning of work Wildcats looking for something despite eight hits have managed only two runs have stranded 11 men through eight Innings similar to what we saw at Florida on Wednesday night Frankie feas big cut and to miss fouls the ball back to the

Netting wild catch stranded 14 against the fourth ranked Gators that one is high for ball one and you know we talked a little bit with Coach Hernandez in the break and while all the games this weekend and even You could argue Wednesday night with so many stranded Runners have kind of kind of

Appeared close in the Box Score swing and a miss there one and two to feas there’s only so much you can continue to tell guys as far as taking away positives BCU bats need to be better particularly with runners in scoring position Pras will take that one high two and

Two really needs to get on base here breaking ball low but too low as the count runs full three and two you only have at this point you have six more outs until the end of the game you’d rather get some runs in the eighth

So you don’t have to do it all in the ninth this ball is slapped over knocked down by the first baseman lolis and Frankie feias will make it over to First tough play there for lolis that will be a base hit absolutely torch ball from Frankie

Febles yep hit it super hard at the first baseman couldn’t really get a caral on it and then it hits off of him awkwardly it rolls like past the uh ump behind uh first base the first base official and just makes it a really hard play for him to make defensively jie V

AER digs in now has it RBI in the night and Frankie febles is picked off of first base and another mistake on the base paths for the wild cats it has been that kind of day particularly here in game two these bases have emptied and we are back to square one with one

Out there’s a strike the first pitch to viae Frankie certainly thought he had his hand in had a bit of complaint but eventually jogs back to the Dugout shows bunt does via fa trying to maybe show off the Speed a little bit with the infield playing very deep nearly out on

The Outfield grass is the short stop and second baseman yanel Diaz warms in the pen for Bon cookman this one slapped right up the middle and no one can reach it and viae will threaten to go for two but he is held up he will remain at

First but even with now a base runner with one out you can already start to play the what if game if Frankie feas was not tagged out at first yeah he probably gets to at least third on that and even if not two Runners on with

Nobody out is a lot better than one on with one out as we turn things over to the top of the order and Daniel Figaroa once again takes a ball in there right down the middle for strike one Figaroa one for four today a pair of strikeouts wets really trying to shoe

Horn in Horn him in to that leadoff spot he’s shown some flashes this season as he takes that one low he is the guy that head coach Jonathan Hernandez would love to see take that spot by season’s end the best version of this wildcat’s lineup according to coach Hernandez has

Figgy at the top he is hitting just 182 so far but this one will get down Fair into right field Runner will advance to third is viae as Daniel Figaroa continues a strong day today after a hit and an RBI and a walk in the first game he’s

Collected two hits today and yet again this game figured to be a 6-3 game would Frankie feas not have been tagged out at first base another potential missed opportunity but it’s not over yet there is more baseball to play as the hottest hitter in the BCU lineup Garrett Chun returns to the

Plate number 34 one for three today with a walk Runner goes and Figaroa is down to second base easily as Chun takes a ball and two runners in scoring position now but if Dyke cannot find the strike zone it’s going to be a difficult Road from here though we do have few arms

Warming in the Northwestern Bullpen just one throwing several stretching swinging a Miss from Garett Chun big hack at it just trying to clear the bases basically with that swing just doesn’t get anything though that ball in the dirt no offering there from Chun ball is kicked back out

To Dyke on the mound so no worry of a run coming in there fortunate break for Northwestern 2-1 now is smacked up the middle and over the infield that will score a run here comes Figaroa from second that will score two Garrett Chun Contin continues to have a day he will

Grab another RBI that is his third of the day his first and second of the contest and it is a 64 ball game the Wildcats are not done yet you can’t count them out you know especially after how that played in that ninth inning now with Sergio

Rivera up to the plate the Northwestern wild cats are far from done Rivera rodrig RZ Gonzalez that 345 ever dangerous big swing and a miss Rivera hunting for a big base hit there and if you’re bathon cookman you just hope that this rally doesn’t turn

Into a lot of what we’ve seen the rest of today close but no cigar Garett Chun takes off pitches right down the middle for a strike Chun is tagged out easily at second he does not beat the throw and just like that there are two away and once again you

Talk about taking momentum away from the Wildcats that’s a quick way to do it making an out on the base paths yeah you don’t get rid of the lead Runner now the tying run is no longer at the plate he would just be a you know a run to close

The deficit but not close it fully takes a team effort you appreciate the attempt at small ball there from the wild cats but just not what you needed to see with the way the Chun last few batters have hit the ball as Rivera takes a ball to make it a one1 count

Now and that’ll be a ball two one and do you think his batting approach changed you know you no longer have that first baseman there even no one sorry no longer have someone at first base really shifts you from going okay I need to get this person to at

Least scoring position with this one out to now I have to get on base I think either way you should probably look base hit but maybe a little more conservative at the plate will be Rivera now knowing that his team has only four outs to play with in this game really

Would love to take one game from Northwestern after the wild cats have come so close they’ve LED in every game until this one would love to reverse fortunes we’ve seen so far we’ve got a little bit of a stoppage as we question the count Danel scoreboard out there kind of

Dealing with the same problem as us a lot of times it’s difficult to tell from their angle out there I believe we have agreed that the count is one and two but maybe two and two now and either way Sergio Rivera is rung up on strikes

To not retire this side as I guess the count was two and one which neither live stats or the manual scoreboard had we had two and two on the manual scoreboard we had so that was a two one and two on the either a two and one count or a three in

One count now we know they have two strikes I believe the count is full three and two payoff pitch is in the dirt a full count it was as Rivera takes his base and you hope if you’re Northwestern and Jack Dyke that the maybe the mental side of the game where you think

You’re out of the inning and escape with the lead still intact leads to a walk as we will now have the brain power behind the Wildcats offensive attack Derek CA Jonathan Hernandez and Hunter Allen will come together and talk things over with George Rodriguez who is one for four

Tonight one on two outs two runs in two runs behind is bethon cookman it’s important to remember especially with a guy like Rodriguez who does have a home run this year don’t get home run happy long ball would tie the game but again Dyke has shown the potential to give up the base

Hit and if you have the opportunity to just move everybody up that is more than acceptable at this point in the ball game wind is picked up pretty significantly here blowing out to left field as the first pitch is in there for a strike from Dyke to

Rodriguez two runner uh two arms in the Northwestern Bullpen they’d like to see Dyke get out of this one and probably bring someone in to close it out as that ball is in the dirt peel down to first base no swing for Rodriguez and that one is in there right down the

Middle one and two Rodriguez finds himself down in the count will have to stay alive has to swing defensively here you can’t afford to go out with your bat on your shoulder he’ll keep it on his shoulder there but no real temptation as another ball finds the dirt it’s two and

Two a lot of pitchers have been shown with control and location in these past couple of games Dyke deals smacked up short stop gathers the ball Livermore goes the short way and that will retire the side a hard hit ball from Rodriguez but a nice diving play by

Livermore slides over and retires this as side the wild cats grab two but they still Trail to it is 6 to4 as we head to the ninth inning will we see bethon cookman erase a weekend of missed opportunities we’ll find out after we take a quick break you are listening to

Bth cookman baseball on the cat ey Network new pitcher for bethon cookman is yanel Diaz here in the ninth inning as bethon cookman Trails two to Northwestern in the final game of a three-game series and the final game of a double header here at Jackie Robinson ballpark yanel Diaz the senior out of

High alah Florida 6 foot2 200 has been kind of a bottom arm in the Wildcats Bullpen but has factored in very nicely to start this season he has been a pretty solid part of the pen another guy that did appear this weekend or this week I should say against Florida has

Two appearances thus far on the season appeared once against Stonehill and then Wednesday night at Florida in four and two-thirds Innings he’s allowed three runs all earned on five hits three walks four strikeouts I think that line is a little bit deceiving for Diaz who has really probably thrown the ball as best

He has as a wild cat this season a big locker room presence is Diaz last season he appeared in 20 games as a junior finished one and0 with a 785 erra but most importantly we really saw him flash what he can do in the swack tournament tossed a scoring scoreless

Inning against gramling State striking out three in the swack tournament last year had some success against some big time programs as well South Florida only allowed one hit in one of the thir inning pitched an inning out of the bullpen against South Carolina allowing no hits and no runs his first pitch to

The Nine hitter Griffin arnone is a strike low to mid90s fast ball for Diaz that’s his primary pitch he does go with a breaking ball there down the middle 02 is arnone who was our batter last time through but a blunder on the base paths for Northwestern got a wild cats out of

The inning last time up barely misses there almost gets him out in three pitches already you can tell he’s on he’s kind of locked in on those first three pitches he’s thrown none of them really been bad everything’s been where he wants him to be breaking ball just a

Bit High and the count will go to two and two first pitch strik so important for bethon cookman especially out of the bullpen jumping in front as Diaz has a good recipe for Success goes fast ball there still a bit High count runs full have to put guys like that away

When you are up in the count 02 we’ll see what Diaz goes for he does go fast ball that one looked a bit lower but still high says the home plate official and our known will take a base to lead things off in the ninth much like we saw in game one where

The wild cats were within a run run heading into the ninth inning can’t afford to let Northwestern put a few runs on the board and turn a manageable deficit into something that is out of reach as Vince banina flips the lineup he smacks one high into left field but foul past the

Bullpen of BCU where a pair of arms get loose in the event that they are needed in Extra Innings so you can hear the wind really picking up here at the jack it is whipping out to left field now thrower to first but ourown is back in safely wind coming out of the

South maybe the southeast chilly day here at the Jack now after what started off as a really muggy day Runner does not go fouled off by banina two strikes another 02 count for yoyo a prominent member of the student athlete advisory committee on campus does a lot for student athletes as a

Whole representing his program representing teams across campus says that one high tried to catch being kenina swinging but he does not no one has yet to offer on the high cheese from yo-yo one two count nobody on or nobody out somebody is on ourown is checked in on

Over there by Diaz he Dives back in at first his sophomore season with the wild cats Diaz was used primarily as a pinch Runner as he worked his way back into full-time Bullpen arm swing and a miss fool him with the off speed as bian keina will Retreat back to

The Dugout but not before Griffin arnone makes his way down to second base nice protection there by banina to get the runner to second but he goes down on strikes that’ll bring up Trent lolis who is 0 for four tonight with a strike out

He will duck out of the way of this one up at the eyes for a ball sophomore first baseman appeared in all nine games started all nine games for the big 10s Northwestern who will stay on the road next weekend as we mentioned taking on Louisville check swing

There peel down and it will will be called a swing and we see Diaz again with the onew count this time has done a good job of getting ahead of hitters see if he can put him away check in over at ourn at second now is unsuccessful

Field wind really ripping out here now in this Turtles Nest we have very little protection from the wind so if you catch some wind noise our apologies bit limited logistically out here try to manage as much as we can hard hit ball but foul over towards the Bon kman

Bullpen and off the clubhouse roof lot of baseball going on across the swack tonight and today most teams have wrapped up action we’ll get you a handful of scores before this one is out as we Face a onew count count to Trent lolis the runner

On Long look in for yoyo he will check back in at arnone at second Florida A&M today defeated gramley state in a neutral sight non-conference game in Atlanta 21 Texas Southern takes a 9-1 loss at Kansas Illinois State overcame Arkansas Pine Bluff 5 nothing gramling State returned the favor to Florida A&M later

In the day as part of a double header with a 3-2 win as this one is waved at and missed by Trent lolis another strikeout for yanel Diaz two away that’ll bring up Owen mof fatrick the second baseman he’s done a good job since he’s come in

Diaz has him just shutting it down offensively just getting the putting his pitches in the right place getting the head and counts making the hitters uncomfortable certainly looks the part of a better pitcher than like I suggested his stat line would show his fast ball has played very nicely his

Off speed has balanced his attack very well went from a guy who has really looked on when games got out of reach to somebody the wild cats have relied on in part due to some players being unavailable to start this season but he has really been

Strong as that ball is in the dirt ball one elsewhere around the swag Mississippi Valley State beat up on Harris Stow State University 15 to5 Alabama State crushed UMES 17 to5 Alabama N&M took a loss to New Orleans 4-2 Jackson State over alorn State another non-conference

Conference game so does not count in the conference standing that’s 42 that one is a strike one and one a few more for you and several double headers today Alabama State and another one 75 they sweep UMES on a double header and Mississippi Valley State another 15 run performance 15 to1 over

Harris so state that one is in there one and two count you can say what you want about Diaz but he has attacked hitters all night something that we haven’t seen a lot from BCU BCU and Northwestern neither team really both teams have been using a lot

Of pitches that are very B don’t break gho on getting contact that ball is slapped over the infield and out into center field Rivera coming in on it cannot make the catch but a run will score are known will cross home plate and again the ninth inning attack has been killer for Northwestern

They jump in front now seven to four thanks to the RBI single from Owen mle fatrick another guy who has had a really strong weekend here in Daytona Beach Bennett markinson the catcher now batting in that cleanup spot with a runner on two outs one run in against

Yanel Diaz who will throw over to First not a bad pickoff attempt there was in the right spot but not a massive lead for mle fatrick at first decent turnout for what has been a very long day of baseball here at the Jack that one is in the dirt and Mel fatrick

Will make it down to Second we’ll think about heading to third but he is held up on a wild pitch once again that back stop comes into play just gets past The Catcher And there’s so much room for the ball to Just Bounce Around that he almost went

To Third on it but thinks twice about it pair of arms warming in the Northwestern Bullpen they have accelerated their warm up it’ll be interesting to see who the wild cats go with to close out the series but they’ve still got it an out left at the plate to increase their lead

Should they choose to as that one is taken for ball three and for the first time in the outing for Diaz he has fallen behind that ball another one smacked out into center field Chun coming on tries to make a dive it will roll all the way

To the wall Rivera will gather another run is in for Northwestern and Bennett markinson is down to second with a double and the last thing you needed was to let Northwestern extend this lead anymore that will do it for yanel Diaz showed some signs of what he can do out of the

Pen but a few consecutive hits for Northwestern will chase him from this ball game as we will have yet another relief arm for bethon cookman like you said it Henson it is pretty much the one thing you could not do is what was a manageable deficit at

64 has balloon to 84 and the wild cats are not done quite yet three straight two out singles after the strikeout swinging puts them up even more and in comfortable position position Diaz has his pitchcombe cookman Carlos hasmine making his first foray on the diamond for bethon cookman

We will get you some numbers on him of course Diaz is responsible for the runner at second so we cannot quite close the book on his night just yet we will get you his final line when we have it Carlos hasmin a true freshman out of San Juan

Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican baseball High School Academy named the number 74 overall Prospect and number 19 right-handed pitching Prospect in Puerto Rico according to perfect game named to the 2023 Canada PTO Rico region honorable mention All-American by Perfect Game 610 200 strong bodied right-hander freshman getting some

Action here excuse me this is his second appearance of the season did appear last weekend at Florida Gulf Coast in one and a third Innings he did not allow a run struck out one allowed a hit as the wild cats were defeated 10 to3 but he will get some work in as the

Bikers are still not quite done for the night yet their night is just getting started our night’s just is winding down here as we get ready to head home and unwind after a brutally long day at the Ballpark the bikers as you said Henson are out on the town crisp

Night so be safe going home if you are local in Daytona Beach the first pitch from hasine is high that one to Jackson Freeman the right fielder who is one for four today with a strikeout that one is swung on and missed want to take another chance to

Send our appreciation to everyone who has stuck with us today through a plethora of technical difficulties a shift in our broadcasting space and overall still dealing with what we have to down here with the renovations underway at Jackie Robinson ballpark this one is fouled away you know it hasn’t been the most

Perfect product to start this season but we promise things are coming we hope to shore things up once we get access back to the Press Box and therefore access to better internet better positioning for the broadcast booth and so much more hopefully the main series last weekend

Spells the end of our time down at The Concourse and in the turtles nest for the season we shall see that one has found away still one and two count to Jackson Freeman but we have certainly made due down here I think we’ve learned a lot about broadcasting and learned about coming

Through under adverse circumstances which is very much what the bth cookman Wildcats face at this point if I can turn a Colin cow herdes analogy for you one two count two outs they he really just need him to strike this guy out so they could at Le

Get to hitting as the catcher comes in to have this conversation with has mean just probably a little bit to calm him down the true freshman like we said and with the runner still on second there’s still very much a big spot as big as they come for a guy like

Hasmine who’s not going to be thrown into the fire exactly right off the rip as a freshman but a good pressure point to see what he is made of very early on in the season the one two to Freeman long look in by hasmine he deals that one is high two and two

That one is hit a long way but out past the visiting Clubhouse it will be foul again we are back here on Friday March 8th at 7 pm Michael will rejoin us Michael trillo will rejoin us on the broadcast but I’m sure you have not heard the last of

Hensen White appreciate you joining me today Henson for a pair of games it’s been a long one but we’ve soldiered through it big swing of a Miss big swing of a Miss exactly what they needed get that out you’re down four runs they’re going to have to go into this next frame

And really just get after it be Pati at the plate you can’t afford a pop out or any a double play or anything silly like that we’ll get more into what the strategy may be for BCU as Dyke returns to the mound for Northwestern but before

We get get to that we will take a quick break heading to the bottom of the ninth with the Wildcats trailing four runs now 84 the final game of our double header and of the series here at Jackie Robinson ballpark bottom of the ninth here at Jackie

Robinson ballpark in the third game of a three-game series the second game of our double header today for bethon cookman and Northwestern Henson we’ve been on the wrong end of a pretty frustrating weekend but what would your message be to the BCU bats as someone leads off for bethon cookman

Here in the bottom of the night I will get that for you in a second but Henson if you’re coach hernandz what are you telling the Bon cookman bats down four here trying to squeak one by to close out this series well I’d be telling them

Be PA you know it was working when we were patient when we allowed them to get into these favorable hitters counts don’t do anything rash don’t I would say unless you have a fast ball middle middle don’t swing at the first pitch and Jose Gonzalez does not but he will

Take a strike not a bad approach there A lot of times the coaching will be take no matter what to start thebat just so you can get a good look as this one is popped straight up just past the infield turn perf and the second baseman M fatrick will make

The play one away and that’s the last thing you want you know you only made him throw two pitches so you’re not tiring you’re not getting the pitch count up you popped out you didn’t put yourself in a good position to really do anything with that ball so now your

Teammates only have two outs to score four runs and as Manny surain digs in the big bat can’t really look for the long ball he’ll just have to get on base he’ll take this one high patience is key here late in the ball game as Dyke comes into his third inning

Of work he’s worked one and a third so far but this is the third different frame he will appear in for Northwestern as surain gets in front 20 the righty deals fouled off look out over in the Northwestern Dugout that’s the second time today that little

Grouping on the Outer Edge of The Dugout has been forced to Run for Cover a little bit of a maybe a sneaky little frustration hit goes straight towards the Northwestern bench definitely jumped out in front of it this another one high three and one now you know I don’t think

He has the green lead here I think you take this pitch right here I agree with you I think you have to try to put some Runners on here no sense in trying to force the issue unless you get a great one and surain does lay off a pitch

Outside and a little bit of life here down 84 for bethon cookman had a little bit of life in the city of dayt TOA Beach as you hear the motorcycles go by it’s bike week of course out here as well oh plenty of life I promise you that I wish there was

A little less of it as Peter Vasquez will dig in with one away and one out my ride home which normally would take about 10 minutes probably take about 25 based on how many bikers are out as Vasquez fouls that one of course cat ey Network you can

Catch some more action this week before we get to the baseball weekend series softball is here for the home opener there’s a cut and a miss vquez down 02 here softball been a tough slate for softball so far head coach Laura Waton but that’s all part of the plan for the Wildcats

Who really grind out some brutal non-conference schedules there’s a ball inside one and two now but finally after several many games on the road 17 straight on the road the closest they’ve been home thus far has been this weekend in Orlando they’ve also been in Tampa as Peter Vasquez goes down swinging two

Away Vasquez didn’t really I’m assuming his game plan was to try to get on base with a hit there didn’t take the first two pitches has put himself in a 02 count tried to battle a little bit but when you’re down already it’s very hard to uh come over that no pitch hitter

Here as Frankie feas will try to avoid being the last batter of the game for bethon cookman he takes a strike go down one and0 but to finish my thought on softball before we wrap this one up North Dakota comes to Daytona Beach for a three o’clock start on Wednesday March

6th there is a ball one and one I’m not sure exactly what our broadcast will look like in the ever challenging Sunnyland ballpark from a sports information athletic Communications perspective but we will get some version of a broadcast up live for you ideally we will have commentators

Should we be able to figure out a few things over at Sunnyland hope to bring you another exciting season of Bon cookman softball in the home opener this week 2-1 the count now to Frankie febles big swing and a miss was thinking a gapper with that that one but now the

Wildcats are down to their final strike pretty much is going to swing at whatever unless it’s really obviously a ball and a nice piece of defensive hitting there from feas he will stay alive at two and two and we will do it again Manny surain over at first two

Balls two strikes two outs the deficit is eight4 in the bottom of the ninth still work to do for Bon kman can Frankie febles continue things he will take a very easy ball and a full count one up by the helmet and the count is full as Dyke is going to

Look for the close here what do the wild cats have offensively on this last hit and he punches one over to the third baseman and it is fired over to First and that will do it Frankie feias showing a bit of frustration but Northwestern gets the better of bethon cookman once again on

The weekend stay with us for a few minutes coach Jonathan Hernandez will join us to wrap up the weekend and give us his thoughts certainly some positives to take away Hensen but at an 03 finish on the weekend plenty of frustration will abound but let’s start with those

Positives what do we look at from at least the two games today Henson that you were here for with us what what do you take away that the Wildcats can bring in especially as we prepare for southwestern Athletic Conference play well the offense I think is there that

The hitting just has to be more timely it just has to be more clutch you know you have the say similar amounts of hits to Northwestern it was a seven hits to nine hits but you can’t make defensive errors like that which is part of the

Reason they got up early was that um a little defensive misc but that’s it’s early in the season those things will happen that’s something what that’ll just get worked on with time and practice a lot of new faces in this Wildcats team with cookman of course and you know the pitching the starting

Pitching has been pretty decent uh we get to the bullpen and sometimes we struggle and we’ll get into a good you know a good count or we’ll be an out like two outs in and then all of a sudden we just let uh hitters get these

Singles and a single a walk and all of a sudden now you know a good offense is going to take advantage of that so that is the positives are the offense is there just the hitting needs to be more timely and the starting pitching has been good to start the season out it

Just has to get more consistent all around no doubt two solid efforts on the mound to start this weekend Daniel gavi probably took the worst of it today allowing five runs but two well make it three considering gavia as well three six inning appearances haven’t had anyone particularly blow up and leave

The bethon cookman bullpen in the dust but boab belloo strong again on Friday night Marcos gambo with his best outing of the very very young season earlier today and gavia at the very least continues to work Innings he goes six tonight he will be saddled with the loss

Allows five runs on five hits four earned two walks struck out two out of the bullpen this afternoon or this evening rather to round things out Patrick gor work two in he allowed a run on three hits walked one struck out one yoyo Diaz with two runs allowed on two

Hits with a walk two strikeouts Carlos has Meine wrapped things up with a strikeout on the mound final line score for tonight Northwestern eight runs on 10 hits with no errors Beth cookman four runs on 12 hits one error very much like we mentioned earlier in the broadcast

Bend but don’t break from Northwestern I think they showed a lot of willpower this weekend here in Daytona Beach yeah they did a good job of allowing when the wild cats got on base they didn’t Panic they consistently held their ground we as you said a lot of Runners were

Stranded so did a good job of pitching in Jam situations and pitching and clutch situations with Runners on base and in scoring positions they took advantage of uh base running Miss qes as well part of the reason a lot of the energy would get sapped out is because

Okay we’re getting tagged out at first or third and they did a good job there absolutely some of the Stars at the plate for bethon cookman tonight we had four multi-hit contests Daniel Figaroa figuring things out at the leadoff spot he had two hits scored a pair of runs

Did steal two bases as well Garrett Chun also with a pair of hits two RBIs at walk Sergio Riva all one two three of the Wildcats record a pair of hits Rivera with a walk as well and then Jose Gonzalez also rounding everything out

With a pair of hits and a walk as well the wild cats however strand 12 batters in tonight’s contest that follows up from nine batters in the first game with uh coach Jonathan Hernandez will join us shortly we will take a quick pause as he wraps everything up
