[TebowHater]

Martin was clearly safe on replay. Anyone know the list of plays that can be challenged this year?

Fair/foul HR, plays at plate, anything else?

http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/experimental-replay-rules-tweaked-baseball

Seems to suggest they are just open challenges. If so, why didn't we challenge?

[Wisco Pig]

Hamilton (0-1, now .382) opens the Flashes' 5th with a strikeout looking.

[Wisco Pig]

Schuler hits a hard one past Shaddy for a base hit.

One on, one out.

[Wisco Pig]

O'Brien is next.   He hits a slow roller to Biggers, who throws to 1st for the out.

Schuler advances to 2nd.  Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Hollander (0-1, .222) grounds out to Shaddy, 4-3.

The Flashes strand a runner at 2nd and do not score.

After 4 1/2, the Hogs lead, 6-1.

[Wisco Pig]

[TebowHater]

We are being so aggressive on the base paths today

[Wisco Pig]

Cole, who homered last time, is up.   He walks.

Meeting on the mound.

[Wisco Pig]

Hawkins, 0 for 2 on the day, works a 2-2 count on Knight and grounds out to Biggers, 6-3.

Nice backhand play by Biggers.

[gchamblee]

wow what a throw by biggers

[Wisco Pig]

Mamarella (.353), 1 for 2 with a double his last time up, works the count full and then bloops one over Biggers for a single.

One on, one out.

Koch really has got to work on blocking. I remember he had this problem frosh year but seemed to have solved it last year.

Parks (.267, 0 for 2) gets behind Knight 0-2, 1-2, and then strikes out.

Kent State strands its 4th runner and does not score.

[Wisco Pig]

Knight has 6 strikeouts in 6 innings.

In the bottom of the 6th, the Hogs will send Bonfield, Kjerstad, and Koch to the plate.

Knight is throwing well. He will be in great shape when he can pitch in 70 degree + weather

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield leads off the Hogs' 6th by flying out to CF.

[Wisco Pig]

Kjerstad (.405), one for two with a single and a walk, is next.

Elson thought the ball might have been trapped, but it was ruled a catch.

[jst01]

Clean catch. Good play

[Wisco Pig]

Ramage will pitch to Dalporto, Hamilton, and Schuler.

One out.  Hamilton is next.

[Wisco Pig]

Hamilton, 0 for 2 with two strikeouts, is now 0 for 3 with three strikeouts.

Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

The ball got away and Koch had to throw to 1st to complete that K.

[Wisco Pig]

Schuler strikes out swinging on an 0-2 pitch. 

Three up, three down for Ramage.   Nice work.

7th-inning stretch time.   7-1, Hogs.

[Wisco Pig]

Fletcher, one for three with a double, strikes out looking on an 0-2 pitch to open the Hogs' 7th.

[Wisco Pig]

Van Horn did not like that called 3rd strike.

[Wisco Pig]

Gates, 0-3 on the day, grounds out sharply to 2B on an 0-2 pitch.   Two outs.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

That was a horrible call.  6" high and a foot outside.  Ridiculous.

[Wisco Pig]

Spangler will enter the game to pitch for Schreiber.

Spangler will face Shaddy with two outs and no one on.   Shaddy is 3 for 3 with 2 singles, a homer, and 2 RBI.

[ricepig]

That was a horrible call.  6" high and a foot outside.  Ridiculous.

Very generous, more like 2' outside, it was a horrendous call.

[Wisco Pig]

Spangler, a submariner, strikes Shaddy out swinging on a full count.

After 7, the Hogs lead, 7-1.
