Play-by-Play Narrative:
For many years, Hogville members who love Razorback Baseball have come together to produce these game threads with play-by-play narrative for those that depend on it as their only source and for those that just simply enjoy it. These threads have been a foundation for great Hogville discussions and that tradition continues today as this is NOT a read only thread (all Hogville posting rules apply).

Wisco Pig  will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game.  Razorbacks#1, A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S, JHicks3636, Wisco Pig, sir-pigs-a-lot, JHGiunta, ucahogfan, will assist with stats, back up, and support. We hope that the many other regular posters will join in also and continue to add quality input. If you are new to the Extra Innings - Razorback Baseball Game Threads and you understand the rules, feel free to join in the conversations.

[Kevin]

Go Hogs Go!!!

[pigroots]

I think this game is huge. Win and host or lose and likely become a 2 seed somewhere

[Pudgepork]

All Bidness Hogs.   Been playing around and leaving people on base.  Gonna score 10 runs today.
Go Hogs!

[Wisco Pig]

[Wisco Pig]

[JHicks3636]

Kolek is 3-3 on the year with a 3.46 era. 68 Ks, 19 BB in 75.1 innings pitched

[PorkRinds]

I hate Aggies.

[Kevin]

Wonder what is up with gates

[razCzar]

DVH Pre-game

BK:  "We hope he's in good shape to pitch."
       "His pitch count has been getting up above normal."

My take:  There seems to be some hesitation as to whether Knight is 100% right now.

[Wisco Pig]

Wonder what is up with gates

I looked at the lineup, noticed Burch starting at 3rd, and was just wondering the same thing.

[Pudgepork]

I hate Aggies.

That sounds like a good hook for a country song

[Wisco Pig]

Scheduled to bat against Kolek in the 1st for the Razorbacks:

RF Cole (.259)
1B Spanberger (.291)
DH Bonfield (.301)

[Wisco Pig]

Play ball!

Cole opens the game for the Razorbacks by grounding out to the shortstop on an 0-2 pitch.

[Wisco Pig]

Spanberger quickly gets down 0-2 and then strikes out swinging.   Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield gets down 0-2, just like the previous two batters, and then grounds out to 3B on a 1-2 pitch.

Hogs go down 1-2-3, and we go to the bottom of the 1st.

[12247]

Wow, first 3 batters, get down 0-2.  Puts each in a difficult position on that 3rd pitch.  Their pitcher started great, durn it.

[Wisco Pig]

In the Aggies' 1st:

CF Choruby (.305)
C   Bedford (.300)
2B Shewmake (.343)

[Wisco Pig]

Choruby opens the bottom of the 1st with a single to left on the first pitch.

[trippigs]

Knights velocity is good at 94 and 93........maybe sore arm concern is overblown

[Wisco Pig]

Bedford, the catcher, is next.   He falls behind, 1-2, evens the count at 2-2, and then flies out to Cole in RF.

[Wisco Pig]

Shewmake, the 2B, bats with one out and an Aggie on 1st.

He flies out to LF on the 1st pitch.   Two outs.

[JHicks3636]

It has been a long time since I was in school. What exactly is "General Studies" as a major?

[Wisco Pig]

Coleman bats in the clean-up position.   He gets down in the count, 0-2, and then lines out to Fletcher in CF to end the inning.

0-0 after 1.

[Wisco Pig]

Nice play by Fletcher on the sliding catch.

[TebowHater]

They were on Knight that inning and Kolek had us looking silly. Hope the roles can converse this inning.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Knight still not fooling anyone.  Gotta bring the bats today.

[Wisco Pig]

In the Hogs' 2nd:

C   Koch    (.288)
CF Fletcher (.282)
2B Shaddy (.295)

[Wisco Pig]

Koch opens the 2nd against Kolek.    He works the count to 2-1, 3-1, and then draws a walk.

[Wisco Pig]

Fletcher pops up to the second baseman.   One out.

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher pops up to the second baseman.   One out.

That was a pretty good catch.

[Wisco Pig]

Nice running catch by Shewmake.

[Wisco Pig]

Shaddy grounds out to the third baseman on an 0-1 count.   Two outs.

[JHicks3636]

Biggers all the way up to batting 7th in the order. They probably had to remind him that he was up.

[Wisco Pig]

Koch is now on second base.   Biggers has a chance to open the scoring.

[Wisco Pig]

Biggers runs the count full and then grounds out to 2B to end the Hogs' 2nd.

[JHicks3636]

Unfortunately Biggers swung at ball 4.

[Maddhog]

TV guy really likes Shewmake.

[Wisco Pig]

In the bottom of the 2nd for the Maroons:

RF  Kopetsky     (.300)
DH Schoenvogel (.273)
LF  Blake          (.222)

[Wisco Pig]

Kopetsky gets ahead in the count, 2-0, and then flies out to Arledge at the fence.   One long out.

[Wisco Pig]

Schoenvogel pops up to Biggers down the LF line on the 1st pitch.   Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Blake quickly gets down 0-2 and grounds out to Biggers, 6-3, to end the inning.

That was fast.
