T6:
K swinging
G6
Solo HR to left of CF by mighty might SS, but controversial as the umpire ruled it stayed in play. Definitely looked like it hit the top of the wall and/or the camera well, then bounced back in play.
<umpire review calls it a HR> 6-0 INDIANA.
F7 diving catch on left-center, got an ovation from the partisan Hoosier crowd. SCtop10 type of catch.
6-0 Indiana, mid 6

B6:
Double in left-center gap
RBI single roped to right over 1B, 6-1 INDIANA.
Walk, 2 on
<pitching change, lefty #9>
F9 to right center, runner on 2nd tags safely to 3rd, runners on the corners, 1 out.
<a kid just took a foul ball to the face when he thought his buddy was going to catch it>
K looking, or so we thought, umpire went full Leslie Nielsen "Naked Gun" with a delayed 3rd strike call; the batter even started walking back to the dugout and was shocked at the delayed call.
Double in left-center gap scores 2, relay throw on the 2nd run way off he mark, 6-3 INDIANA. 2 out.
Looping single to CF, runner scores from 2nd getting around tag at the plate, batter reaches 2nd behind the throw, 6-4 INDIANA. 2 out.
F3 in foul territory, I feel like the wind kept that out of the stands.
6-4 Indiana, end 6.
We've got a ballgame again, folks. And as a result, we might not start Game 10 tonight. Need to finish 3 innings in the next hour if the conference stays to their 40-minutes-between-games and not-start-after-10pm rules.
