I did not hear, but was it announced that Zack Franklin was injured Friday against Wofford, or was he just pulled? I hope that he is ok, as he has really been such a GREAT pitcher for us, and we need him to be on the mound Friday against UNCG.
GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davis Mortland gets the start for Western, give up 5 runs in the first, now in the bottom of the 2nd. BURNS homered to left-center for the Bulldogs.
Now 6-2 GWU

After blowing the doors off the Runnin' Bulldogs twice this season, the dogs are looking for revenge. GWU is up 7-3 at the end of the third.
WCU pitching is very suspect today, on the third pitcher. The starter gave up 5 runs in 1/3 inning.

MID 7TH | GAWB, 9-5
Nate Stocum with a one-out single, Bryson Parks with his fourth walk before Jordan Starkes delivers a run-scoring single; but the Catamounts leave 'em loaded again - 11 LOB - for a fifth one-run inning at #StretchTime in Boiling Springs.
Second time Western has left the bases loaded in this game.
