Draftees in the College World Series (these guys are the only two, here’s the box score)
Jeremy Bleich (Stanford, sandwich round): 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K- set a new career high with 7 K’s … threw 89 pitches despite a 75 pitch count … he looked good, got some big outs in big spots, particularly one spot where Buster Posey was hitting with 2 men on, and the first basemen had just lost a foul pop in the sun, prolonging the at-bat … The Pinstripe Press broke down the outing
Jack Rye (Florida State, 13th round): 0 for 4, 1 BB, 2 K – 0 for 3, 1 K vs Bleich … made a great diving catch in RF to end the 7th
Miami went 45-0 when leading after 8 this year, thanks largely to Carlos Gutierrez, their first round pick of a closer. Leading 4-3 in the 9th, Gutierrez allowed a single, then the next batter reached base on a dropped third strike. The next batter singled in the tying run, and when the following batter tried to bunt the winning run into scoring position, Gutierrez threw the ball away. Georgia took the 6-4 lead, then eventually a 7-4 lead. Josh Fields slammed the door in the bottom of the 9th. He’s absolutely filthy, like Joba on his best days filthy.
