Looking forward to seeing Campbell deal.  I've only personally witnessed him face a handful of batters but word is he has big time stuff.

[Razorbacks#1]

Go RAZORBACKS!

Bring us a win Wisco!

[Rod6275]

Is it on tv. Direct tv?

[Wisco Pig]

Toso leads off for Bucknell.  Campbell gets the count to 2-2, then full.  Toso walks.

[Razorbacks#1]

Watchespn

[hogfaninmo]

Tune in not broadcasting the game today, where can I listen to the game online?

[Wisco Pig]

Toso goes to 2nd on a wild pitch.

[Wisco Pig]

Bell, the LF, gets down 1-2 in the count, fouls off a few, gets to 2-2, then doubles down the RF line.   Toso scores.   1-0, Bison.

[HogFansReunited]

Rough start so far for Campbell.

[Tony Perkis]

Campbell seems to be overworking a tad. Needs to settle in a little and trust his stuff.

[Wisco Pig]

Johnson, the SS, is next.   Campbell falls behind, 2-1, evens the count at 2, goes to another full count, and then gets Johnson to fly out to center field.   

[HogFansReunited]

Campbell seems to be overworking a tad. Needs to settle in a little and trust his stuff.

Agree

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Ok Campbell you got the first out.  Time to to settle in and show what you're made of.

[Wisco Pig]

Rawlings, the 3B, is next.   He gets ahead in the count 2-1, Campbell evens it at 2-2, and then Rawlings strikes out.

[Wisco Pig]

Korchak, the 1B, bats with two out and a runner on second.

[Wisco Pig]

Korchak falls behind 0-2 and then pops out to Martin at 3rd to end the half-inning.

1-0, Bison.

[HogFansReunited]

Good job getting out of the inning and only giving up one run.

[Wisco Pig]

In the 1st for the Hogs:
SS Biggers
RF Cole
CF Fletcher

[Wisco Pig]

Biggers opens with a single on an 0-1 pitch.   Infield base hit to 2nd.

[Tony Perkis]

Side note: This uni combo is really nice. Red tops with pinstripe pants will always look good.

[Wisco Pig]

Good effort by Toso, the 2B.

[Wisco Pig]

Cole is next.  He gets ahead in the count, 2-1, then 3-1, and then gets a single to left-center.  He advances to second on the throw while Biggers advances to third.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Good heads up running.

[Wisco Pig]

The infield is playing back.

Fletcher falls behind 1-2, evens the count at 2, then strikes out swinging.

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield bats with men on 2nd and 3rd and one out.   He gets ahead 2-0, then HOMERS to left-center!

3-1, Hogs.

[Razorbacks#1]

Bonfield bats with men on 2nd and 3rd and one out.   He gets ahead 2-0, then HOMERS to left-center!

3-1, Hogs.

[Tony Perkis]

Pretty big hack from Fletcher on a 2 strike count. Must know Bonfield is about to do something big.

Edit: Boom.

[PeabodyHawg]

BOOM!!!

[HogFansReunited]

Boom!

[CJ HOG]

Bonny Bomb!!!! WPS!

[Wisco Pig]

Koch bats with the bases empty and one out.  He strikes out looking on a 1-2 pitch.   Two outs.

[Ugly Uncle]

Bon field = Gooooooooone Field.

[bjeffersonhog]

nice to see Bonfield bounce back from yesterday.  He hits the ball extremely hard when he gets contact, just needs to cut down on the strikeouts.

[Wisco Pig]

Kjerstad is next.   He's hit by the 0-1 pitch.

[HogFansReunited]

That looked like it stung.

[Wisco Pig]

McFarland bats with one on and two out.   He gets ahead in the count, 2-1, goes even at 2-2, and then...

Kjerstad gets himself picked off to end the inning.

Hogs lead after 1,  3-1.

[PeabodyHawg]

Not the best example of base running there by Young Heston Kjerstad.

[HogFansReunited]

That was an odd pick off, wonder how it will be scored.
