Eagan works the count full, and he lines a single into RF after fighting off a couple of tough pitches.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

[ucahogfan]

Serrano draws a walk.

[ucahogfan]

LSU pitching coach Alan Dunn out to the mound as the crowd is finally getting into it and calling the Hogs.

[trippigs]

Second time around is better for our bats.....go hogs

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Batting now: Andrew Benintendi is 0-1 tonight, one of the hottest hitters right now, hit one hard earlier, leads the team in homers at 5.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi rips a single into right.  Bases juiced with 0 outs.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Here comes Chad Spanberger, he is the Hog DH tonight, bats .326 and .533 with runners in scoring position and 1.000 when the bases are loaded.

[ucahogfan]

Spanberger down swinging.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Tyler Spoon bats now, bases still loaded

[ucahogfan]

Spoon sac fly to RF.  Eagan scores and Serrano tags.  Runners on the corners with 2 outs.  Spoon's 17th RBI of the season.

4-1 LSU.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Rick Nomura coming up batting .338 and .316 with 2 outs

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi steals 2nd on a curve in the dirt.  Benintendi's 8th steal of the year.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Benintendi steals 2nd on a curve in the dirt.  Benintendi's 8th steal of the year.

Could be a big stolen base....

[ucahogfan]

Nomura chases a curve in the dirt as he strikes out for the second time tonight.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

              1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9     R    H    E    LOB
LSU         2   0   0   2                            4    9    0       6
HOGS      0   0   0   1                            1    2    0       2

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Leading off the LSU 5th is Kade Scivicque (.433), when leading off he hits .625

[ucahogfan]

Scivicque hits one off the end of the bat right at McKinney, but McKinney can't glove it.  Given a hit.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Now Batting: Andrew Stevenson (0-2) (.338)

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson works the count full, and he grounds a single up the middle.  I'm assuming Nomura was playing Stevenson to pull because it would have been a 4-6-3 DP at normal DP depth.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Chris Chinea steps in the box from the left side. He has a hit tonight and is hitting at .291 this year.

[ucahogfan]

Chinea with a lucky flare for a single into center to load the bases with 0 outs.  It looked a whole lot better off the bat.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Batting now: Jake Fraley, he smashed one off the wall last time up, he bats .275 on the year and .500 when bases are loaded.

[ucahogfan]

Fraley works the count full, and he walks to bring in a run.

5-1 LSU.

DVH is on his way to the mound as McKinney's night is over.

New pitcher is RS Sophomore RHP Josh Alberius (1-2, 2.45 ERA).

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

We go to the bottom of the order in Jared Foster (2-2 tonight) (.339)

[ucahogfan]

McKinney could have easily gotten out of this inning in 3 hitters.  Nomura was positioned a little off and Benintendi misread a ball that looked like it was hit much harder than it was.  Just how it goes sometimes.

[ucahogfan]

Foster pops out to Gosser in foul territory.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

We go to the top of the order in Sciambra..

I'm going to take a break and hand it all over to ucahogfan for a while

[ucahogfan]

Sciambra lines the first pitch right down the RF line.  It is a bases clearing tripe as it looked like Spoon had a little trouble getting it out of the corner.

8-1 LSU.

[ucahogfan]

Laird grounds one to Eagan and he cuts Sciambra down at the plate 3-2.  Laird on 1st with 2 outs.

[ucahogfan]

Laird caught stealing 2-4.

[ucahogfan]

Wernes lines a single into LF.

[jacobp]
