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).

Maddhog will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game and JHicks3636 will be ready in the bullpen. Razorbacks#1, A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S and Wisco Pig 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 Extra Innings and you understand the rules, feel free to join in the conversation.
JHicks3636 is set to provide Play-by-Play for Sunday's game.

Late Comeback Falls Short For Hogs
http://www.arkansasrazorbacks.com/late-comeback-falls-short-for-hogs/
A three-run 3rd inning and a four-run 4th inning for Alabama (28-21, 13-12) broke Friday night's game wide open at Baum Stadium. Arkansas (26-23, 7-18) tried to stage a late-inning comeback, but it wasn't enough in the series opener as it fell to the Crimson Tide, 8-6.
