[HogFansReunited]

Is this the first time this year Koch is out of cleanup?

He batted 5th yesterday.

[ucahogfan]

Is this the first time this year Koch is out of cleanup?

Same lineup as yesterday so 2nd time I believe when he has started.  He looks to be pressing just a little at the plate so moving him down relieves it a bit.

[tennesseehogwild]

GHG!

[JHicks3636]

Arledge leads off game 3 of the series with Auburn, takes ball 1, flies out to center

[rljjr]

I BELIEVE!!!

my bad ...was at work and didn't notice...thanks!

[Razorbacks#1]

Go RAZORBACKS! :razorback:

[jry04]

Just keep it close when they turn it over to their pen and we will be in great shape. I trust the arms we have left over theirs.

[JHicks3636]

Spanberger can get his average over .300, takes a ball, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, singles up the middle

[CJ HOG]

Go Hogs...Let's take this road series today!

[JHicks3636]

Bonfield also takes ball 1, flies out deep to left

[JHicks3636]

Gates comes in batting .283, starts with a ball like every batter so far, grounds out to SS

0-0 after 1/2

[ucahogfan]

Bonfield crushed that one, but the launch angle was too high.

[HogFansReunited]

Well we are making a lot of contact.

Bonfield crushed that one, but the launch angle was too high.

I thought it was gone when it left the bat. Sounded solid.

[JHicks3636]

First batters for Auburn today will be

1. Todd     .384
2. Estes    .290
3. Robert   .315

[BroyledNutts]

Geez, I thought Alabama's stadium music was loud ...

[JHicks3636]

Todd leads off for Auburn, starts with a strike, fouls off strike 2, foul, grounds out to 2B

[rljjr]

Geez, I thought Alabama's stadium music was loud ...

They have literally dozens of fans to soak up all that sound.

[SPAL]

SCREW AUBURN

[Scott7703]

These announcers make it hard to watch the game.

[JHicks3636]

Estes takes ball 1, 1-1, grounds out to SS

[ucahogfan]

They have literally dozens of fans to soak up all that sound.

Or just one dozen.  Stadium is empty today.  There might be more scouts than fans there.

[rljjr]

#20 looks like a bigger Tom Petty, and that's his last dance with Mary Jane.

[JHicks3636]

Robert gets down 0-1, 0-2 as he looked at both, 1-2, bloops out to 3B

0-0 after 1  and the first time this series that Auburn fails to score in the 1st

[JHicks3636]

Trying to get things going in the Razorback 2nd

5. Koch    .305
6. Cole     .263
7. Shaddy .291

[JHicks3636]

Koch starts with a ball, 1-1, singles to left

[JHicks3636]

Cole hits it off the wall in left, double, men on 2nd and 3rd with 0 out

[ucahogfan]

Cole has some big time pop to the opposite field.  Would have probably been 2 HRs at Baum this weekend as Auburn has the Monster out there.

[SPAL]

Cole has had 2 bombs robbed because of that stupid wall.

[BroyledNutts]

Cole has had 2 bombs robbed because of that stupid wall.

Yup. That was a 2 run homer at Baum.

[TebowHater]

This pitcher does not look sharp. Let's get some runs ASAP before they pull him!

[JHicks3636]

Shaddy takes a ball, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2 on the foul, HBP, bases loaded with 0 out

[JHicks3636]

Meeting on the mound

[elksnort]

It is time for runs. They are there for the taking now !

[ucahogfan]

11th time this year that Shaddy has worn a pitch.  Had to be one of the most painful as it looked like it got him on the chest.

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher with the bases full of Hogs, flies out to left on the first pitch and not deep enough to score the runner

[tennesseehogwild]

Fletcher just has to be more patient than that

[JHicks3636]

Biggers who leads the team in batting average, slashes one foul 0-1, flies to center and an RBI Sac Fly

1-0 Arkansas

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Get'em Hogs!

[rljjr]

There's one! Let's go Hogs!!! Base hit coming up, baby! Let's do it, Jake!

[JHicks3636]

Arledge for the second time today is 0-1 in the first appearance, takes ball 1, 2-0, 2-1 swinging through a fastball down the middle, pops out to center

1-0 Arkansas after 1 1/2 as we should have gotten more

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Had'em on the ropes there and let them escape with minimal damage.   Gotta capitalize.

[razorhog52]

That hurts. Bases loaded and 3 pop ups. Glad we got 1.

[jry04]

Great to get a lead with how little arms they have. Again, just keep it close when they turn it over to their bullpen and we can score in a hurry. Would have loved to get more, but this is a much better start than the last 2 games.

[tennesseehogwild]

Got 1 run but feels like we let em off the hook.

[HogFansReunited]

That 2-0 pitch to Arledge was in the sweet spot, he just needed to put the bat on it.
