[TebowHater]

Ramage starting. Any chance Murphy could throw an inning or two?

[ricepig]

Any chance Murphy could throw an inning or two?

Sure, at least a batter or two.

[ucahogfan]

First pitch will be 5:50.

[ucahogfan]

Ramage starting. Any chance Murphy could throw an inning or two?

Figure DVH wants Ramage to go about 3, Bonnin for 3, and Lee / Scroggins / Kostyshock to close it out.

[elkhog]

First pitch will be 5:50.

I sincerely hope THIS time the second of the double header will be streamed.

These guys were the bright spot yesterday and today after a dismal basketball showing.

GO HOGS!

[ucahogfan]

DVH swinging hard for the sweep. Even Koch stays in.

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

[Kevin]

No let up

[razCzar]

Let's keep the ball rollin' HOGS!

[SPAL]

Can anyone give me the numbers for our pitchers last game??

Zay went 8 innings, 3 hits, 1 ER, walked 4 and struck out 8

Zeb went 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 earned, and 2 k

[ucahogfan]

Pompey grounds out 3-1.

[ucahogfan]

Squires lines out to Fletcher.  F8.

[ucahogfan]

Becker down swinging on a filthy slider.  Ball gets away from Koch, but a 2-3 putout at 1B completes the play.  Ramage's 1st K.

[tennesseehogwild]

dejavu from Koch!

[ucahogfan]

This is the first time I have seen Ramage throw and I can understand why DVH is so high on him.  Sure, he only hit 92, but his slider and his changeup are both nasty.  A pitcher who can work 88-90, but with two plus offspeed offerings can have some success at this level.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

DVH swinging hard for the sweep. Even Koch stays in.

In the last game the radio guys said a Kentucky guy disrespected DVH when coach asked him who their starter would be.

[Amityvillehogger]

Momentum take us to the sweep!

[ucahogfan]

Kentucky's starting pitcher is from the Kansas City area.  An area the Hogs spend a ton of time recruiting.

[ucahogfan]

Biggers lines a single into RF to start the bottom of the 1st.

[ucahogfan]

Cole laces a single just past the 2B into CF.  Biggers had to freeze on the line drive so he has to hold at 2B.  Runners on 1B and 2B with 0 outs.

[TebowHater]

Are the glasses for Martin in the box new? I don't remember him wearing glasses before.

[ucahogfan]

Martin squares late and bunts it right back to the pitcher.  1-3 sac to put runners on 2B and 3B with 1 out.

[Hogs49ers]

Wooooooo!!! Luuuuuuuuuke!

[TebowHater]

Simply awesome!!!

[ucahogfan]

Bonfield lines a double into the RF corner.  Both runs score.  Bonfield set back on a hanging breaking ball for his 5th 2B of the year and RBIs 14 and 15.

2-0 Hogs.

[PoconoHog]

Way to go Bonfield....great clutch hitting

[ucahogfan]

Fletcher skies out to the CF in shallow CF on the first pitch.

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher liked that pitch upstairs too much. He needs to be patient.

[ucahogfan]

McFarland draws a 2 out walk to put runners on 1B and 2B as Kjerstad steps in.

Activity has already begun in the UK pen.

[JHicks3636]

Kentucky bullpen works a little quicker this game.

[thebignasty]

Ky pitcher is getting squeezed a little.

[HogJowler]

Hoping Ramage is as Mmm Mmm Good as Campbell was.

[ucahogfan]

Kjerstad bloops a double into LCF.  Bonfield scores and McFarland moves to 3B.  Kjerstad's 5th double is also his team leading 21st RBI of the year.

3-0 Hogs.

[Hawgphish]

Goodness we are hot! 

[SPAL]

This is fun
