UNF has a good offensive first, a  rarity for the Ospreys.

Postpone the Organ transplant.

Quick inning for UNF too. Score remains the same.

Game starting to speed up.

There is a debate in the press box on wether the tweet from P. Karmeris’ girlfriend is legitimate, but it looks like Wielbruda will be able to play tomorrow.

6:33 — The last couple innings have been quicker than the bugs flying through the stands. *Smack* UNF 7 – KSU 6

6:34 — 7th inning stretch — Athletic Director Lee Moon’s wife Connie sings “Take me out to the ball game” the loudest.

To extras we go.

UNF is 5-3 in extra inning games this season. Trexler remains in the game. Olmstead is warming up.

7:25 — KSU runner on second. Smoke makes a trip to the mound, but Trex stays in.

Shadows creeping over the field. It looks like the outfielders may be having a hard time seeing the ball due to the sun.

Smoke choses to intentionally walk a player to get to Penecost, the hottest player on KSU. Not sure why.

7:29 — Now Smoke looks like a genius. Roller to shot ends the inning. Bottom of 10 approaching. DH N. Karmeris due up.

7:34 — Lead of single by N.K. Brooks up to bat.

Brooks puts the “short” in shortstop.

Brooks lays down the sac bunt to my N.K. to second.

7:35 — C. Bass steps in. Shouts of “C. Bass” ring through the stadium. Its like a scene out of Dumb and Dumber.

Bass is intentionally walked. Garrick Ferguson to the plate.

Now people yelling “Fergie”. I keep looking for Will.I.Am.

7:38 — Fergie strikes out. Black Eyed at-bat. “Fear the Beard” Karmeris to the plate.

Long fly out, inning over.

8:00 — KSU quick inning.

Bot. 11 – 2 outs, UNF runners on first and second. Pinch hitter is Spencer Herrmann.

PA guy suggested coffee, I need some.

8:12 — Top 12 Trexler looks shaky, but works his way through the inning with a strike out and a fly-out to right.

Brooks to lead off in Bot 12.

8:21 — Chopper by Fergie scores Brooks from third. UNF wins.

I’m spent.

Time for some post game interviews.
