[JHicks3636]

Arkansas will start its offense with

1. Arledge      .360
2. Spanberger .257
3. Bonfield      .319

[Cornfed Pig]

Great looking start for Stephan, good to see.  The hit he gave up was just a good job by the hitter - looked like the hitter stayed down on a nice looking 0-1 breaking ball.

[JHicks3636]

Auburn loses 6-3 at A&M. Hogs could take sole possession of first place in the West with a win tonight.

[Cornfed Pig]

Stephan struckout Deichmann on a 96 mph fastball

[Cornfed Pig]

Arledge rocking Song of the South

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

late post

Trevor Stephan K's = 2 ----  52ND FOR THE SEASON

[SPAL]

Colin poche is a junior lefty and he is king of the hill for the tigers with a 1.15 era.

He will face the California native, Jake Arledge who had 2 hits a night ago...

Arledge is batting .360 with 3 bombs...

Looks at strike 1...

The 0-1 is looked at for strike 2...

Poche working quickly misses high..

1-2 misses away and Arledge gets the count even...

2-2 is in the dirt and that runs it full...

Arledge turns on a fastball and pulls it foul....It was long gone.

The payoff again...It's bounced and Arledge takes first on the BB
.

1 ON no outs and the crowd is lit.

[TebowHater]

Doesn't Arledge usually wear glasses? Nice AB.

[SPAL]

C-SPAN takes it for strike 1....

The 0-1 is fouled back and outta play....

Poche way ahead here....

It's roped between 1st and 2nd for a single....

1st and 2nd with 0 outs and a great opportunity for the hogs.

[Cornfed Pig]

Great AB, battled back from 0-2, and Poche is lucky to only have him on first base

[SPAL]

Bonny ice steps in with a .319 average and takes ball 1...

1-0 is fired in for a strike....

1-1is a base hit just out if the reach of the SS and that will plate Arledge..

1-0 Hogs

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

[Maddhog]

I'm almost giddy.

[tennesseehogwild]

LUKE!!!

[SPAL]

The chef now steps in with runners on and poche misses...Ball 1

The 1-0 is dribbled back to poche....he has 1 play and he makes it at first....Runners advance.

[Cornfed Pig]

heck yeah baby!

Get on 'em, and get on 'em early!!

1st-round knock out?!?   :razorback:

[JHicks3636]

I imagine Tiger Bait has already fired their coach tonight.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Doesn't Arledge usually wear glasses? Nice AB.

Think it is only after dark and the lights are full blast.

[SPAL]

Poche misses with the first pitch to Benny lite....

1-0 is a breaking ball that crosses for a strike...

1-1 just misses low for ball 2

The 2-1 is sliced down the left field line foul and in the stands...

2-2 pitch coming....It's lifted deep to right....It'll be caught

The throw home is late and C-SPAN will make it 2-0 hogs.

[dsgreen]

I imagine Tiger Bait has already fired their coach tonight.

They were calling for his head halfway through last night.

[SPAL]

Slim Shaddy takes ball 1 in the dirt...Bonfield us at 2nd with 2 outs....

Shaddy takes ball 2...

It's driven, deep to center, but the wind will keep it in the park for out #3...

That's it for the hogs in the home half of the 1st...

2 runs on 2 hits and 1 left....After 1, it's

2-0 Good guys.

Take it away Hicks

[JHicks3636]

For the Corn Pups in the 2nd

5. Romero  .258
6. Watson  .347
7. Smith    .291

[JHicks3636]

Good job spal. Thanks!

[Maddhog]

Good start.  Go Hogs.

[Cornfed Pig]

I imagine Tiger Bait has already fired their coach tonight.

LOL, and currently stress-eating an exxxtra corndog

[JHicks3636]

Romero starts 0-1, 0-2, foul, homers to left, ugh on an 0-2

2-1 Arkansas

[SPAL]

I turn it over to Hicks and ge gives up a jack

[Maddhog]

I turn it over to Hicks and ge gives up a jack

We are docking his pay. 

[JHicks3636]

Watson also falls behind 0-2, foul, singles to right

[Publius]

Thanks for the score updates, fellas...am at work and can't get the game on the computer.

[JHicks3636]

Stephan maybe getting too much of the plate

[TebowHater]

Both of those last two hits were on pitchers counts. Can't afford to throw it over the plate there.

[southarkhog06]

I love stephan, but he throws more 0-2 pitches down the middle than anyone I can remember.

[Cornfed Pig]

Figured Romero must have some power, hitting from the 5-spot for LSU, not a lot of ABs, and not a great average so far this year

[HogFansReunited]

I love stephan, but he throws more 0-2 pitches down the middle than anyone I can remember.

I agree, he has some great stuff but I wish he would try and make the batters chase when he has a 0-2 count.

[JHicks3636]

Smith starts 0-1, 0-2 as well, some throws to 1B to hold the runner, and grounds into the 6-4-3 twin killing

[tennesseehogwild]

Twin Killing!

[PeabodyHawg]

Good job infield.

[SPAL]

I've noticed his arm notion changes when he goes offspeed
