and eric erickson has given up his first walk of the night. solid at bat for pat blair. >> erickson worked the outside part of the plate and pat blair doing a good job of sounding off some tough pitches and finally gives in as he gets the free pass. he said i want to have a shot off to one of our young hurricane fans. >> jason: does ben have a bedtime tonight? >> it's a weekend night. holiday weekend. i'm sure he'll be in bed right after this game. >> jason: we will turn the lights off -- wake forest trailing by 3 runs. ryan simmons watching that one. semeniuk is 0-2. popped out to the 1st baseman lawson in the 1st and lined out to center field man devoss in the 3rd. >> i want to correct the history. >> jason: i actually mention the the history of university of miami going back to 1940. i knew it didn't make sense. it dates back too the 19th century. a bit of a difference. 1891 for wake forest with the two all-time college world series appearances. that one is lined to left field and a base hit for ryan semeniuk. so here in the 5th inning the d

left- hander eric erickson. eric erickson had been the sunday afternoon starter for jason morris' hurricanes, and that really a buy product of an injury. and surgery for eriksson last year. he is on the come back trail. he is a veteran and a key to this team's success this year. >> this was a guy really because of those injuries his career is not going to be what it could have been. what i mentioned at the opening, jason, eriksson is one of the best pitchers in the country when he is healthy. this kid in 29 innings of work has three base-on-balls. incredible controls. he works both sides of the plate. when he keeps the ball down you see a lot of ground balls and usually a quick game. >> jason: 1-1 the count. that one is fouled out of play. pat blair, rhinism neck. the demon deacons come in with an over all record of 9 and 19. they started the season 6 and 6 with the bulk of those games at home. 2 and 8 their record in the acc. this will be the shortstop stephen perez. a long throw-in plenty of time to get per ai

eric erickson has to be careful here. it's just a three run ballgame. one swing of the bat and this could be a different ballgame all over again. see the demon deacons doing their best to pressure the hurricane base runners at 2nd base. this is a team that likes to run the bases as well. >> jason: take a look at what

that's a fable by eric erickson. he is not a guy that has a low strikeout count. he is a guy up there in strikeouts. he has a fair amount of strikeouts on the season. so he just knows when he has to go back and get that good fastball this there. >> three straight strikeouts here in this ballgame. count 0-1 on shane crower. eriksson a guy that impressed immediately when he arrived on this campus as a freshman and finished with ten wins versus four losses. in his um career he has 161 strikeouts to 37 walks. >> that's a phen nominal number. he came into this ballgame having pitched 29 and two- thirds inning. by any standards, if you can strike out a pitcher for any hits, they consider you a strikeout pitcher. >> jason: very quickly eriksson retires the demon deacons in order at the end of an inning and a half in coral gables. order at the end of an inning and a half in coral gables. we are tied at one on csn. mmm?! belongs to molly and alex. i'll take good care of them. [ erin ] in times like this, you can really use a friend. you have enough to do without worrying a

just like the guy he is monitoring right now, eric erickson. the guy who made an immediate impact as a freshman. gen lubanski fouls it off. he left in ' 97 and began made his way from pitsville to capital city to saint lucy up the road here. both norfolk and new orleans and triple-a before deciding to turn to this here in coral gables. swing and a miss by lube anski. >> one of the things that no one will talk about j. d now, when he came into the program he was actually one of the better hitting pitchers in miami dade as a high school baseball player. he was a great hitter. back then you didn't see as many two-way players as you do now with the rosters being so limited. j. d. gave up the bat to become a pitcher here. take a look right here. look at the location on that pitch. outside part of the plate. that's what eric rake does well jamar mez back pedals and forced out at 2nd. the strikeout and the groundout limiting the wake forest -- one the strikeout and the groundout limiting the wake forest -- one run in the inning. ♪(whi tun n't be h♪ wh

and with the tied score of course eric erickson will have no decision, even though he got a solid inningngs. one earned run. five strike outs, one walk. unfortunate for him he is not going to factor in this ballgame. >> jason: in his first appearance to replace the catcher lubanski. i amen hitting .242 on the season. and robinson chases the runner carlos lopez back to the bag. if you are just joining us, miami led this one 5-2 after four innings. wake forest with two runs here in the top of the 8th. courtesy of four straight hits off of eric whaley. now sam an inson facing bentley high man. wake forest for all intents and purposes should have had the lead if not for loss of ball mac williamson who stumbles across the 3rd base bag and was nailed at the plate. lined off the screen. the count 0-2. bentley heyman last year hit .232 with the demon deacons. he averages here .242. this is hisp 17th appears. he has started 12 games. just eight hits in 33 at-bats. the curve ball is in the dirt. sam robinson comes up short. robinson's tenth appearance of the year. all out of the bullpen. just 5 sp

with us tonight, cnn contributor, eric erickson. eric, you heard a liberal perspective of the president's challenge in picking a new supreme court justice and a characterization of justice sotomayor as a moderate and a dare to the republicans to try to be aggressive in whoever the president picks next. what's your test? we don't know the name, let's not dwell on who it might be. but you saw how the republicans handled sotomayor and the aggressive questioning but in the end she was confirmed. the same game plan good for you, or do conservatives and republicans need to do more? >> well, you know, i would like them to do more and be more aggressive. it depends on who he picks. remember the republicans fell all over themselves to vote at the end of the day for brier and ginsburg when clinton was president. some voted for sotomayor. i think they're going to ask tough questions. if he get someone like kagan, they're going to have a hard time. she may be on the left but she's a highly qualified judge. the democrats have an interesting battl

new cnn contributor eric erickson. im best as the racist, sexist and incendiary editor of the website redstate.com. since he signed on with cnn eric said he regretted some offensive statements he's made and realized he needs to grow up now that he's on the national stage. well, that lasted about four days. last week eric was on the radio talking about the census and to his credit encouraged people to fill it out. then he started talking about the american community survey, acs. which is a more extensive questionnaire the census bureau sends out to 250,000 americans every month. that one is apparently so unacceptable he calls for threats of violence? >> we have become, or are becoming, enslaved by the government. this is crazy. what gives the commerce department the right to ask me how often i flush my toilet? or about going to work? i'm not filling out this form. i dare them to try to come throw me in jail. i dare them to. pull out my wife's shotgun and see how that little acs twirp likes coming to my door. >> what a br
