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 quality Hogville discussions and that tradition continues today as this is NOT a read only thread (all Hogville posting rules apply).

Wisco Pig will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game and Maddhog will be ready in the bullpen. Razorbacks#1, WilsonHog and A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S 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 about this game.

I think your right. Blowing up pretty good to the west and southwest moving northeasterly. Wait and see approach I suspect.

As of now we have a 30 minute delay from the original first pitch. We are looking at 7:05pm right now.
