Drilled to left for a single.

[SPAL]

Shaddy botched a game ending double play



1st and 2nd now

[Maddhog]

Dang.

[ucahogfan]

Shaddy cannot play in the field anymore.  Need to just have Williams get the 2B duty from now on.

[SPAL]

Stephan at 101

[SPAL]

Biggers can't make a routine play.....

Bases loaded now....

[Razorbacks#1]

Stephan at 101

Incredible

[ucahogfan]

Heck of an outing by Stephan. Too bad our defense let him down in the 9th.

[Maddhog]

You're kidding me.

[SPAL]

Stephan won't be able to finish....

Is responsible for all runners....Could still be in line for a ND or even a loss depending. Unreal.

He deserved much better.

[PintailKiller]

Come on D, don't blow this for Stephan.

[bulldog04]

Shaddy cannot play in the field anymore.  Need to just have Williams get the 2B duty from now on.

Yes

[jry04]

Shaddy has to DH. I have said it for 3 years now. He is the worst Razorback I have ever seen in the field. I say it after every game, I know, but he is that bad in the field. It costs us 3-4 games a year, and quite a few runs in games that shouldn't be close.

[Knot2brite]

Shaddy cannot play in the field anymore.  Need to just have Williams get the 2B duty from now on.

Isn't happening ...Shaddy will be the second base man

[SPAL]

Chadwick will be called on for the save....6-0 190 out of Paris Texas....

1.92 ERA in 9.1 innings. Has appeared in 5 games this season.

[bulldog04]

Biggers can't make a routine play.....

Bases loaded now....

His first error as a Hog

[CJ HOG]

Unbelievable... Time to end the experiment at 2B. I hope we can salvage this one for Stephan, he more than deserves the W.

[YtownHog]

Stephan won't be able to finish....

Is responsible for all runners....Could still be in line for a ND or even a loss depending. Unreal.

He deserved much better.

Poor guy is getting the trey Killian treatment.

[SPAL]

Chadwick deals a strike ....

0-1 to O'Neal.....A swing and miss from a nasty slider.

0&2 with a huge slider from Chadwick gets Oneal swinging and missing.

2 outs now

[ucahogfan]

Isn't happening ...Shaddy will be the second base man

With a sub .900 FLD, DVH should know better as a former 2B.

[SPAL]

Check swing is a strike....
0-1 is slapped through for a base hit....

2 runs cross.....

We are tied

[Maddhog]

Oh no.

[Knot2brite]

With a sub .900 FLD, DVH should know better as a former 2B.

When DVH makes a promise he keeps it...and as long as he is hitting...he is playing

[SPAL]

Stephan will get a ND at best....A loss is still possible.

[Bogghawg]

Just crap.  Thanks a lot, defense.

[SPAL]

Chadwick gets him swinging.....

Crap

[CJ HOG]

Now the Gosser missed bag comes bag to haunt us... Unbelievable. I feel terrible for Stephan.

[SPAL]

Wilson....Base hit to SS....

[SPAL]

Arledge with a bunt moves the runner for C-SPAN.

[Bogghawg]

We got this.

[SPAL]

Grounder to 2nd for an out.....

[Bogghawg]

pbp. please....?

[SPAL]

Bonfield up with a runner at 3rd.....

Misses up....Ball 1

1-0 misses the 91 mph heater...

1-1 misses...

2-1 misses....

3-1 is hit hard at SS....Gets through for a game winning single...


Hogs win 3-2

[HogFansReunited]

Very disappointed for Stephan but glad we got the win.

[SPAL]

Hogs improve to 12-3....

[hogman64]

thanks a lot to all who did the pbp

[ucahogfan]

Barring a no-no or perfect game, Stephan should be SEC Pitcher of the Week even with the ND.

[CJ HOG]

WHEW!! It wasn't pretty and it wasn't fair to Stephan but it's still a W.... Great series win, let's complete the sweep on Sunday. Go Hogs!

[Piney Woods Rooter]

Thanks for the PBP everyone!!

[Maddhog]

Whew!

Thank you so much for hanging in there SPAL and Raz.  You guys are great.
