RU Baseball opens 3 game series vs Indiana tonight, story:

After 5 innings score tied at 2-2. McCoy pitching. Suseck and Campbell w the RU RBI's
 
RU lost a nail biter in the 9th inning last night, 4-3.

Today's game on at 2 EST, BTN plus and gametracker.
 
On to Sunday -- over the first four RU has had runners on 1st and second with no outs twice and with one out twice -- no runs scored -- two failed sacrifices including one with the top hitter with runners on 1st and second and no outs. Meanwhile Indiana has three unearned in their first three on three errors. This year RU does not have a big deficit in % of runners caught stealing like in years past. However, there have been more players picked off including getting thrown behind after a hit. The BA and ERA are off, but they would still have a couple more wins with some basic execution. I am no expert but I am concerned.
 
Through 5 1/2 -- 4 times runners on 1st and second for RU w/nobody out -- 3x sacrifice -- 0 total runs in these 3 innings -- thankfully the batter was hit by the first pitch the other time or else we may have small balled our way our of another scoring opportunity and all 4 runs came in that inning -- 5-4 going into bottom of 6th -- 3 of their runs unearned -- we have had runners in scoring position in every inning with fewer than 2 out and only scored in one inning.
