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).

PoconoHog will provide the play-by-play narrative for this this game.  A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S, , ucaHogfan, sir-pigs-a-lot, JHGiunta, HogFansReunited, Arkansas Traveler, Maddhog, JHicks3636 and Razorbacks#1 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.

Hope we don't run into the same thing Kentucky ran into last weekend!

[pigture perfect]

I think our pitching is better than theirs as a whole. Should be a great series.

[bosshog84]

I'm sure Singer will be out for revenge against us. Hopefully we slap him around like we did in the SECT last year. Taking 2 of 3 this weekend would be soooo sweet!!!

[Kevin]

wooo pig soooie

[razCzar]

Florida leads overall series with Arkansas... 29-30
Time to rectify this issue.
Beat Gators!

[RyeHogFan]

Let's go Hogs! I believe!

C-Span, the Man

[BroyledNutts]

Could we put Kjerstad in a #24 jersey for this series, so Singer and the rest of the pitching staff will have flashbacks and not pitch well?

[jst01]

Ready for this one! Has anyone checked to see if there is a SEC girls gymnastic meet on the channel before of our game? I'd hate if the intense parallel bars action goes into overtime.

You usually don't get bumped on SEC Network+, but one never knows.

I think I remember seeing it that way on Sunday. 

Not sure if it's just a replay from a past meet since it's so early in the morning though.

Singer can't pass a can of SPAM in the grocery store without getting jittery ...

GO get'em HOGS!

[Razorbacks#1]

Let's Do This!

[travelinhog]

Ready to enjoy some great baseball. Considering who and where we are playing my emotions will be as follows:

0-3 Ouch. Arkansas will probably no longer be a Super Regional host. But it is early and we can recover.
1-3 Content. That is what we should expect playing the 2nd ranked defending national champs at their place.
2-3 Happy dance time. Probably moves us to #2 and we are solidly in the Super Regional rankings. Charlotte will be a distant memory.
3-0 Estatic. Can't see this happening, but we can always dream.

[PoconoHog]

Biggers, Cole and Martin will start things off for the Hogs...

First couple of innings are going to be extremely tough for the hitters until both Singer and Knight are also covered in the shade.
