[Wisco Pig]

Sprengel has 8 Ks.  That's the 2nd time today he's struck out the side.

As Inman said on the radio, Sprengel's looked unhittable in 3 of the 4 innings.

[TebowHater]

Gates is becoming a defensive AA at 1B. WOW!!

[Ironhawg]

Outstanding defense by Gates!

[Wisco Pig]

McGuire opens the bottom of the 4th for USD.   He grounds out to Gates unassisted.

[tennesseehogwild]

Again I say....Please leave Gates at first rest of the year!

[SPAL]

I said it last night and I'll say it again.....gates at first, Martin at 3rd. Evan Lee can fit in somewhere.

[Wisco Pig]

Collard doubles down the RF line.   

[Wisco Pig]

Great play by Gates.   (The stat feed never says anything about how good a play it is.)

[TebowHater]

Ok warm up the pen again

[Wisco Pig]

Collard goes to 3B on a wild pitch.   

[JHGiunta]

We are making this hard on ourselves

[SPAL]

That was filthy

[Wisco Pig]

Bewley strikes out swinging at a 2-2 pitch.

2 outs and a Torero on 3rd.

[Wisco Pig]

Herburger, who hit the 2-run HR last time up, grounds out to 1B to end the 4th.

Arkansas leads, 3-2.

[Ugly Uncle]

This is a big out.

[AHiD]

Nice play by Gates!

[Ironhawg]

Gates is the man at first!

[TebowHater]

I was as big an Evan Lee proponent as anyone dating all the way back to last year, but what Gates brings at 1B / what Lee doesn't bring there, he's got to be our guy at 1B. Awesome job Gates

[JHGiunta]

Let's chase this SD pitcher. Yes! Never mind!

[Wisco Pig]

Donatella is in to pitch for Sprengel.   Good.

[trippigs]

Gates is more athletic than I knew.......pretty agile

[onebadrubi]

Doesn't Lee bring a good bat to the plate though as well? 

[Wisco Pig]

In the Hogs' 5th:

Biggers, Cole, and Fletcher

[razCzar]

Let's chase this SD pitcher. Yes! Never mind!

Type faster... lol

[snoblind]

Testing 1, 2, 3.    Whew, thanks.  Was worried I wouldn't make it thru the vetting.  GO HOGS

[TebowHater]

Doesn't Lee bring a good bat to the plate though as well?

Yep they both do for sure.

Lee's bat (and eye/base running = run production) were why I was such a big proponent.

[Wisco Pig]

Biggers leads off the Arkansas 5th by working the count full and then strikes out swinging.

[Wisco Pig]

Donatella has a 1.69 ERA in 5.1 IP so far this year.

[Ironhawg]

Lots of strike outs on our part today.

[TebowHater]

Biggers leads off the Arkansas 5th by working the count full and then strikes out swinging.

Struck out on ball 4 after a great 9 pitch AB

[Wisco Pig]

Cole, 0-1 with a walk, is next.

[Wisco Pig]

Cole singles to left on a 1-2 pitch.

Let's go!

[SPAL]

Dom 💣  🕒

[JHGiunta]

Dom 💣

[Wisco Pig]

Fletcher bats for the 3rd time today.  He's struck out twice.

[Wisco Pig]

Balk called on Donatella, and then Cole is sent back to 1st.  Van Horn wants an explanation.

[tennesseehogwild]

Fletch is struggling mightily!

[onebadrubi]

That pitch that was called third strike was low!

[TebowHater]

That balk situation was absurd.

So let's just say a balk was never actually called, fine. How did they have to make Cole go back? Time had not been called so how is that not just a stolen base???

[BroyledNutts]

Oh that undulating California strike zone ...

[Wisco Pig]

After the not-balk, Fletcher strikes out looking on a 1-2 pitch.

Fletcher has struggled so far in Cali.

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield, 1-2 with a single, bats with two outs.

He works the count even at 2 and then lines out to center.

Hogs lead, 3-2, as we go to the bottom of the 5th.

[JHicks3636]

10 Hogs have struck out in only 5 innings.

[JHGiunta]

Haha. What a shame! Fan stood up and covered his head with both arms.

[Wisco Pig]

Houghtby, the USD shortstop, leads off the 5th and walks on a 3-1 pitch.

[JHGiunta]

C'mon. Need to get the .143 hitter!
