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).

JHicks3636 will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game and Maddhog 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.

GAME #2  results, SATURDAY:


BOX SCORE:

RECAP: Home run ball hurts Hogs chances again vs. Alabama
VIDEO and article:
http://www.arkansasrazorbacks.com/long-ball-drops-razorbacks-against-alabama/
A four-run first inning for Alabama put the Razorback baseball team in a hole it couldn't climb out of Saturday night in Baum Stadium. Sophomore pitcher Keaton McKinney only lasted 3 2/3 innings and the Hog offense scored just four runs in a 10-4 loss to the Crimson Tide.

These line-ups tell a lot about our season. For the third straight game Alabama has the EXACT same line-up. On the other hand we have a much different line-up for the third straight game. We could just never settle on a starting 8. I understand that some players never stepped up and earned every start, but I can't imagine going to each game wondering what your roll would be. We were actually much more consistent about trotting out the same poor pitching. Anyway let's get this one and go from there. Go Hogs!
