I'll take the rook, Kjerstad...

[BroyledNutts]

You suck!
Get 'em Hog Pen...

[Sportsnutt9]

Who hits the first jack off the year?

I'm going with Koch

I would love to see that, but could see being Fletcher as well.

[BroyledNutts]

First jack ... I'll take Fletch ...

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher bats with Biggers on first base, takes ball 1, couple of tosses to 1B, 2-0, 2-1 swinging on a ball outside, throw to 1B, flies out to right, 1 gone

[JHicks3636]

Cole bats with Biggers still on first, 1-0, another throw to 1B, 1-1 looking,  2 more throws to 1B, 1-2 looking, fouled off with the runner going, lines to left for a single, 2 on, 1 out

[BroyledNutts]

Luuuuuuuuke ....

[JHicks3636]

Bonfield now the hitter with men on 1st and 2nd, 0-1 looking, 0-2 looking, Ks swinging, 2 away

[Knot2brite]

Having a field workday on opening day... no bueno

Freshman Kjerstad bats with a chance to do damage in his first college at-bat, takes ball 1, 1-1 looking, singles to right and Biggers scores

1-0 Hogs

[SPAL]

[razorbackfan86]

WPS!!

[ucahogfan]

Kjerstad has a nice swing. Excited to see what he does.

[trippigs]

Nice lick and he has a big smile

[JHicks3636]

Lee bats with runners now on the corners and takes ball 1, 2-0, 3-0, walks and the bases are juiced for Koch

[CJ HOG]

WPS! First rbi of the season will work too...

[SPAL]

🍺 hat time

[JHicks3636]

Balk advances all of the runners and Cole scores

2-0 Arkansas

[razorbackfan86]

There's the crooked number I asked for.

[JHicks3636]

Koch, with the fans wearing the bases loaded hats, balk puts runners at 2nd and 3rd so off come the hats, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 for 7 straight balls, then a strike to make it 3-1, walks and bases are loaded for Gates.

[SPAL]

🍺

[razorbackfan86]

Time for a bomb.

[CJ HOG]

Van Noose at 30 pitches already, let's run him on outta here...

[JHicks3636]

Bucknell pitcher did not balk all of last year and walked only 19

[JHicks3636]

Gates bats with the fans back in their hats, 0-1 looking, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 , walks for the rbi

3-0 Arkansas

[JHicks3636]

Bullpen works for Bucknell

[Bacons Rebellion]

I got home and everything turned on just in time for Kjerstad's base it.

I'm excited about this season.

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy is the 9th batter in the inning and the bases are still loaded, 0-1 fouled off, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, foul to go 3-2, walks for another rbi

4-0 Arkansas

[Wisco Pig]

That balk really undid Van Hoose.

[CJ HOG]

That balk really undid Van Hoose.

I agree, good plate discipline by our boys as well thus far.

[SPAL]

Just throw strikes. If we hit it, we hit it. Your defense can't help you when you walk guys.....cmon

[PeabodyHawg]

Hope Van Hoose has a good rest of the season.  Tough start for the young man.

[pigture perfect]

This is what we waited for.

[JHicks3636]

Biggers bats for the 2nd time in the inning, this time with the bases loaded, 1-0, 1-1 on the foul, 2-1, 2-2 on another foul, 3-2, flies out to right

4-0 Hogs after 1 full

[Sportsnutt9]

Very true. You can have the best defense in the world, but no defense ever has been able to stop a walk.

[JHicks3636]

Batting for the Bison's in the 2nd

5. Klugerman
6. Wincig
7. Korchak

[razorbackfan86]

It's always nice to get your pitcher some runs early.

Not a bad start to bat around in your first inning of the season. WPS!

[jst01]

Yea, even when hitting, innings like that make me cringe and almost hope for an out to keep the game moving!

[PeabodyHawg]

Good catch to save crooked numbers in the first......ok I've felt bad enough for Bucknell....bury their ass Hogs!

[AHiD]

How long do you guys think Blaine stays in, if things keep going as they are now?

[rljjr]

Man, way for Kjerstad to start his career first at bat!  Baseball is back!

For a split second I thought the Bucknell outfielders were going to collide. That would have been gnarly.

[ricepig]

Man, the SEC Network+ is a good 2 minutes behind. I was watching it and flipped through my twitter timeline, it told my about Shaddy's walk before he got in the box, lol. Good inning, hopefully they get someone in there to throw strikes, we need swings.

[pigture perfect]

I still haven't forgiven Bucknell for knocking our Basketballers out of the tourney a few years back. Keep rolling boys.

[JHicks3636]

Klugerman starts 0-1, 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, foul tip and Koch couldn't hold it, 3-2, foul tip again, grounds out to 1B

[PeabodyHawg]

How long do you guys think Blaine stays in, if things keep going as they are now?

Get him up to a 70'ish pitch count and then get some other arms experience.

Ditto from here....

[JHicks3636]

Bucknell pitcher had 46 pitches in the 1st
