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).

JHicks3636 will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game and Maddhog and Wisco Pig will be ready in the bullpen with Razorbacks#1, WilsonHog and A_R_K_A_N_S_A_Sassisting 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 guess there is no espn3 or watchespn? Darn it I really want to see this one being in Tenn. Prob no go though.

[yraciv]

And I thought we were having a rough season. What the hell has happened to Missouri State? Were they not off to a hot start with a ticker on their website toward this game? Probably shouldn't have overlooked every one else in the Valley.

[tennesseehogwild]

Like the lineup, except I wish Eagan was at first base, and Scroggins at third. Hopefully Catron can get the job done tonight! Go Hogs!

[JHicks3636]

Anyone with the Missouri State line-up?

[JHicks3636]

Madd and Wisco, be on standby as my feeds are giving me some trouble and I don't get CST
