[CTcard]

7-1 victory--quality start (6.2IP, 0 ER) for Mathews although he threw 117 pitches, followed by Pancer and Lopez (a shaky bases-loaded ninth). Good to see Carter go 2 for 3 with a HR and 3 RBI. Bowser also had a no-doubter 2-run bomb.

Top of the ninth, bases loaded, one out. Coach comes out to talk to Lopez. Next pitch game ending double play. When I need calming down, I want Thomas Eager to talk to me.

Lopez appears to be another nice story of a guy in the program for many years suddenly emerging as a contributor. He's a fifth year player (listed as a grad student). 
Over his first four years he pitched 12 innings total with and ERA of 9.75. 
This year he has pitched 7.0 innings with an ERA of 0.00. 

Now, yesterday in the ninth he doubled his season totals for hits, walks and hit batters (he had one of each in the ninth, now has two of each on the season), but he got out of it. 
His stuff isn't great from what I can see on the iffy feeds I've been watching, but he's a big lefty with a side/under delivery so the ball comes in with a very different look. That should be good as a change of pace all season if he can stay around the strike zone.
