[tennesseehogwild]

Not sold on him as a #2 hitter but nice job by Span.

[SPAL]

Bonfield now steps in and the skillman NJ junior looks at strike 1...

0-1 just misses to even the count.

Bonfield now at .299 with 18 RBIs on 4 home runs so far....

He takes ball 2 low....

2-1 just misses inside and Luke is way ahead.

The 3-1 is misses low and Bonfield draws a one out walk.

[Wisco Pig]

Let's do some damage here.

[Cornfed Pig]

Umpire seems to favor his right side of the plate

[SPAL]

Runners on the corners for the Hogs catcher...He is hitting .319 with 20 batted in with an opportunity for more here....

He takes strike 1.....

0&1 is looked at and it's a strike....

0-2 misses away....

1-2 is hit back up the box.....The second baseman fields and flips to SS for one, the relay completes the twin killing...

0 runs on 1 hit and 2 left.

0-0 after 1.

Take it away

Most excellant PBP and thanks SPAL. All yours Maddhog

[Maddhog]

Ok.  T2 we have Rooker with a single.  One on, no outs.

[SPAL]

Stephan didn't wait till the 8th to lose his perfect game....

Now we are in trouble early.

[tennesseehogwild]

cmon guys get it together...

[Maddhog]

Alexander  -  dang.  1st and 2nd with no outs after a bunt single.

[Maddhog]

Macname. Sac bunt. 

[Maddhog]

Blaylock  out at first. Runner scores. 

[SPAL]

Mississippi State playing small ball this early....The feel runs will come at a premium.

[SPAL]

Hits him with 2 strikes and way ahead....smh

[Maddhog]

Lovelady 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, HBP.  At the corners, two outs

[tennesseehogwild]

almost looked like that hit the end of the bat

[Maddhog]

Poole - flys out to CF to end the top half. 1-0, Dogs

[ucahogfan]

Just imagine how scary this weekend rotation would be with Campbell in it as well.  3 big guys who would just pump 90-95 all weekend.

[Maddhog]

B2

Fletcher is up and goes 1-0, singles to RF. One on, no outs

[Razorbacks#1]

What could have been

[Razorbacks#1]

Hah!

[Maddhog]

Shaddy -  1-0, 1-1, BOOM.  2-1, Hogs.

[tennesseehogwild]

The.....Real.....Slim.....Shaddy!

[SPAL]

Slim shaddy

[Cornfed Pig]

MAC SHADDY

[Maddhog]

Birch grounds out to second. One out

[JHicks3636]

Man, we can hit the long ball so far this year.

[ucahogfan]

The power up and down in this lineup is just scary.  4 guys have at least 4 HRs and Spanberger hasn't heated up yet.  Just about everyone can take you deep in this lineup.  Crazy to think how far ahead in the HR race we are from the rest of the SEC playing most of our games at Baum which is not a typical hitter's park.

[ucahogfan]

What could have been

Let's hope that Loseke can fill that Sunday role if given the chance.  He can also be in that 90-95 range at his best.  Would say wait for next year since both Knight and Campbell are Sophomores, but Stephan is looking like he will earn a fat paycheck in June.

[bulldog04]

I'm tired of hearing the same stuff from the broadcast team I heard last night

[Maddhog]

Cole  -  Walk.  One on, one out

[Cornfed Pig]

WE DANGEROUS.

[tennesseehogwild]

I really like Cole. Hope he starts hitting and can stay in lineup.

[Maddhog]

Mound meeting.

[ucahogfan]

Since when does 14+15=30?  Just showed on the broadcast that the Miss State guy has thrown 14 balls and 15 strikes for 30 pitches total.

[Maddhog]

Biggers  -  Bunt single.   Two on, one out.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

If we were at full strength in the bullpen, we would be scary good.  Still, the SEC is filthy.   Man, this is fun!

[pigture perfect]

We can beat you playing Big Fly or Small ball. This team is fun.

[Maddhog]

Arledge  -  Ks swinging for two outs.

[JHicks3636]

If we were at full strength in the bullpen, we would be scary good.  Still, the SEC is filthy.   Man, this is fun!

Look at what has happened in the SEC this weekend. There are no easy series in the SEC in baseball. Same in football. Not so much in hoops.

[Razorbacks#1]

RUT ROH!

[pigture perfect]

How about that bat flip.

[Cornfed Pig]

GOOOD NIGHT, that was a moon ball

[Maddhog]

C-Span  -   1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, BOOM!  5-1, Hogs

[theFlyingHog]

WOOOOOOOOO!

[Wisco Pig]

Wowzers

[ucahogfan]

Not sure what went further there - the bat flip or the moon shot.

That now makes 6 guys in our lineup tonight with 3+ HRs.  Won't find that in too many lineups in the country.

[tennesseehogwild]

LOL...Span with the bat flip....He might pay for that later....Stay tuned!
