GAME 19 THREAD: #5 Arkansas (14-4, 1-0 SEC) vs Kentucky (14-4, 0-1 SEC)

[dotnet]

Seems like the ump is giving the low strike

[Pudgepork]

They need to bottle this

[ucahogfan]

That first strike called at Martin's ankles set the tone for that at bat, unfortunately.

It sure did.  Made him chase the 1-1 pitch.

I'm a solid 1-2 minutes behind JHicks on WatchESPN.

[JHicks3636]

I hope all saw my homer call by Bonfield before the page flipped

[TebowHater]

Bonfield with a strike, HOMERS to right center

2-0 Arkansas

WOW!!! WPS!!! We are getting the spin on that ball today without the wind knocking it down.

[razCzar]

WooHoo Bonfield!

GREAT START!!

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher starts even at 1-1, 1-2, grounds to 1B, out to pitcher

2-0 Arkansas after 1

[TebowHater]

Ump is giving the ankle to shin high strike today. Hopefully Campbell benefits from it too

[ucahogfan]

Bonfield's crushed his 3rd HR of the year over the listing of NCAA Regional Appearances for the program in RCF field for his 13th RBI.  That is the 31st of the season for the Hogs which now ties them with Kentucky for the SEC lead.

[War Boar]

Oh my. WPS!!!

[SPAL]

It sure did.  Made him chase the 1-1 pitch.

I'm a solid 1-2 minutes behind JHicks on WatchESPN.

Yeah. Me too. He already had Martin's at bat posted before Cole crossed the plate on his Homer.

[PoconoHog]

That first strike called at Martin's ankles set the tone for that at bat, unfortunately.

Yes it did...he immediately went into protection mode...swung at a bad low second pitch

Saw it.  Keep those Hog Homer calls coming.  My ulcer needs a day of rest

That 1st strike call to Fletcher was called a ball to Biggers.  It was low and away.

[ucahogfan]

Yes it did...he immediately went into protection mode...swung at a bad low second pitch

Completely changed the AB for both Martin and then Fletcher as he chased a changeup (which is nasty) down and out.

[JHicks3636]

In the Wildcat 2nd

5. Collett      .333
6. Heyer       .383
7. Johnson    .328

[JHicks3636]

Collett strikes out looking at all 3 pitches to him

[ucahogfan]

From Kendall Rogers' Twitter feed:

This @RazorbackBSB lineup is some kind of good. Two batters later, Luke Bonfield takes 94 from Justin Lewis and puts it over the wall in RCF. Now 2-0 #Hogs. Such a relentless batting order. #WPS

Have a weekend, Eric Cole. For the second straight day, he hits a homer in the first inning. He deposits a 92 mph FB from Justin Lewis over the wall in dead center. #Hogs lead 1-0. @RazorbackBSB

Really strong first inning for @RazorbackBSB RHP Isaiah Campbell. Two strikeouts, sat 90-93 and up to 94 with his fastball, showed good feel for the SL and CH as well. #MLBDraft

[JHicks3636]

Heyer with a strike, 0-2, Ks swinging with a C to 1B assist

[ucahogfan]

Collett fell victim to the low strike call on that K.  He stood there and was about to argue.  Hopefully the HP ump expands the zone for Campbell even more.

To be fair, it was just below the knees.  Not a very low pitch.

[JHicks3636]

Johnson with a strike and is then plunked

[JHicks3636]

Cottam begins with a strike, 1-1, grounds to SS, out at 2B on a fielder's choice

2-0 Arkansas after 1 1/2

[Hawgphish]

I hope all saw my homer call by Bonfield before the page flipped

yes... would you mind saying I am going to hit the powerball?

[SPAL]

Zay looks good through two.

Lose some baseballs Hogs. 

[Wisco Pig]

Zay looks good through two.

29 pitches through 2 innings, 19 for strikes.

[ucahogfan]

In the Razorback 2nd

6. McFarland   .387
7. Kjerstad      .350
8. Koch           .333

How many teams in the country would have a 6-7-8 of that caliber?  All three of those guys are big time talents.

[JHicks3636]

McFarland starts with a strike, 1-1, 1-2, Ks swinging

[Pudgepork]

Zay looks good through two.

I think he stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night

[Hawgphish]

The kid is a baseball player- kjerstad

[JHicks3636]

Kjerstad singles on a bunt on the first pitch

[ucahogfan]

Although the throw was wide, I think you have to score it a single because he might have beat the throw regardless.

[JHicks3636]

Koch who could only homer twice yesterday, takes a ball, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, full count, singles to left, runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out

[TebowHater]

It is a beautiful thing to see Koch hitting again. If we can get Shaddy going again with RISP, we would truly be rocking.

[Hawgphish]

Will the chef catch 18 today?  Swinging it hot, be hard not to.

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy starts with a ball, grounds to SS, out at 2B on the fielder's choice, runners on the corners with 2 outs

[JHicks3636]

Biggers bats for the second time today and is 0-1 in the game, takes a ball, 2-0, 3-0, walks and the beer hats are out

[SPAL]

[JHicks3636]

Mound meeting

[JHicks3636]

Wild pitch scores a run and moves the other 2 runners up

3-0 Arkansas

[JHicks3636]

Take off the beer hats

[ucahogfan]

Wild pitch scores a run and moves the other 2 runners up

3-0 Arkansas

The preceding pitch was a slider just off the inside part of the plate that Cole almost hit to Foghorns.  Could have shaken him up a little to uncork a 55 foot fastball.

[TNhawgfan]

I love early runs! Takes pressure off the pitcher and defense

[Hawgphish]

Squires is a reluctant blocker.  He could use a few buckets of blocking drills.

[JHicks3636]

Cole who homered in his first at bat, 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, Ks swinging

3-0 Arkansas after 2

[ucahogfan]

The 3-1 pitch looked to be a little high which caused Cole to chase a fastball up at the letters.
