WELCOME TO RAZORBACK BASEBALL 2017 - HOGVILLE.net OFFICIAL GAME 19 THREAD
          ARKANSAS (14-4, 0-0 SEC) vs Mississippi State (12-6, 0-0 SEC)

Friday's First Pitch is set for 6:30 pm and WILL BE TELEVISED on SEC Bases Loaded. This game will be streamed on the SEC+.   . 

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.  Razorbacks#1, A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S, Wisco Pig, sir-pigs-a-lot, Cornfed Pig, Maddhog and JHicks3636 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.

I'd really like to start SEC play off right, hoping for 2-1 or 3-0 this weekend.

Anyone heard the status of Shaddy?  We need him to be able to DH this weekend.

after first two weekends we need to be sitting at 4-2 at the worst
