• #UT again has first 2 runners of an inning on base. Let’s hope they can chip away at this 6-run lead. #cws about 3 hours ago
• Despite Monday’s win, overall #UT has played very mediocre, sloppy baseball in this #CWS. Another error = another run. ASU 6, UT 0. about 3 hours ago
• Sac fly is 2nd out of 3rd inning for Dicharry but runners tag and ASU is now up 4-0. #UT #cws about 3 hours ago
• Perfect double play ball goes right through 2B Tucker’s legs and Augie will pull Ruffin. Might need Ruffin later this week. #UT #CWS about 3 hours ago

• Kole Calhoun, who hit ASU homer for games 1st run, looks like Ham from the Sandlot: http://twitpic.com/7kwkr #ut #cws about 4 hours ago
• Single to right scores another runner (who was on 2nd due to passed ball) and now Arizona State leads #UT 3 to zip. #cws about 4 hours ago

• Erin Andrews must be thinking about me, really struggled through that fluff piece on Leake. #ut #cws about 4 hours ago
• Mike Leake’s stuff definitely looks better here in the top of the 2nd. #UT is going to need to work count and get into bullpen tonight. #cws about 4 hours ago
• Not a good at bat for Kevin Keyes. Didn’t come close to several curveballs, including last one several feet in front of homeplate. #ut #cws about 4 hours ago
• And after all that, Ruffin gets the swinging K for out number 2 and Rupp nails ASU steal attempt at 2nd base to end bottom of 1st. #ut #cws about 4 hours ago
• With all the pickoffs and the foul balls and full count, this has been very long at bat. #ut #cws about 4 hours ago
• Strikeout and double play grounder from Moldenhauer quickly end a promising start for #UT. Think that was big missed opportunity. #cws about 4 hours ago
• @aTrubow Augie also tried to get Belt going by not bunting him in the 8th Sunday night. about 4 hours ago
• #UT needs to take advantage and score before Leake settles in. Big setback if they can’t put one on the board after getting 1st 2 on. #cws about 4 hours ago
• Opening batter of the game Michael Torres puts one right inside 1B line to start game with double for #UT. Great start. #cws about 4 hours ago
