Oakland was five outs away from an upset victory, but the visiting Raiders scored a run in the eighth and put together a five-run 11th to win 8-3 and complete a three-game sweep. Wright State is atop the Horizon League at 13-4, a half-game ahead of 13-5 Illinois-Chicago.
WSU coach Greg Lovelady was ejected in the ninth after a play at the plate. It doesn't really matter about the play or the ejection, what's important is Lovelady waving goodbye with his hat. Excellent farewell.
Neal Ruhl: play-by-play person
It's almost as if Ruhl was consulting several textbooks of Baseball Phrases Throughout The Generations. Titles like What Did That Last Guy Say?, Silliness 101, or Ducks On A Pond. It reminded me of a dream I once had where a coach was video taping a speech he was making to his team and then made me watch the speech on VHS over and over again. I had to keep rewinding the tape by hand because we couldn't find the remote control......anyway, take it far, far away Mr. Ruhl:
"Speedster"
"A Wright State lineup that can absolutely rake"
"Behind the dish"
"Wind is...blowing in the batter's grill"
"Punishes mistakes"/"feast off mistakes"
"5-9, 160 pounds...his bat is much bigger than that"
"Wears one"
"The heart and soul of this Golden Grizzlies' team"
"Anyway you slice it"
"Ducks on the pond"
"It's a matter of repeatable mechanics"
"You go out of the fryer and into the frying pan"
"Your traditional 12-to-6"
"He uses a couple of choice words"
