Alberius still in but I would guess on a short leash.

[ucahogfan]

Bragg grounds a hot shot under the diving glove of Spanberger into LF.

[ucahogfan]

Skelton sac bunt 1-3.

Sophomore RHP Barrett Loseke warming in the pen.

[JHicks3636]

That is some small ball-sacrificing down 4 runs.

[ucahogfan]

Poole grounds out 5-3 as McFarland made a nice pick on a low throw by Spanberger.

[ucahogfan]

With Mangum stepping in, DVH makes his walk out to the mound for a pitching change brought to you by Petit Jean Meats.  Heck of an outing by the RS Senior.

New pitcher is Sophomore LHP Kacey Murphy (2-0, 3.38 ERA).

[tennesseehogwild]

Great job by Alberius! Wish he could've gotten one more out to be elgible for the win. This was everything we could ask for though out of our Sunday guy.

[Dr. Starcs]

What exactly happened between the two coaches last night?

Anyone?

[JHicks3636]

For those who care, Kentucky 26-24 at halftime. Obviously not much offense.

[ucahogfan]

Mangum, a switch-hitter, pops out to Spanberger who is standing on the pitcher's mound.

[Maddhog]

For those who care, Kentucky 26-24 at halftime. Obviously not much offense.

I would be happy if Kentucky lost.

I'm not sure 100% what happened, but when Cole had extra bases stolen from him by the 3B ump, DVH went out and argued for a little bit.  Must have made Cannizaro mad in the opposing dugout so the coaches exchanged words.

[ucahogfan]

Bonfield chases a breaking ball in the dirt and a 2-3 putout completes the K.

[Wisco Pig]

Sorry if I missed it, but what exactly happened between the two coaches last night?  I heard someone mention it this morning.

And thanks for the pbp.

One of the Arkansas hitters lined what appeared to be an extra-base hit over third base, but it was called foul.  Vitello threw his helmet in frustration.   DVH came out to argue and the State manager, Cannizaro, started yelling at DVH and/or Vitello.  DVH yelled back.   It went back and forth for a bit.

[ucahogfan]

Koch ropes a single between the 3B and SS into LF for a single.

[ucahogfan]

Shaddy flies out to RF.  F9.  Runner on 1B with 2 outs.

[JHicks3636]

Fletcher needs to heat up again.

[Maddhog]

Anyone?

DVH was upset ( livid) when what would have been an RBI single was ruled a foul ball.   I thought it was fair.   MSU's coach came out of his dugout trying to be heard and DVH was not interested in his opinion.  Reportedly told him "Get back in your dugout big boy!"   Could be more to it than that.

[ucahogfan]

Fletcher works the count full, and he grounds out 4-3.

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for the Hogs is Senior RHP Dominic Taccolini (3-0, 6.19 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Gridley grounds out 6-3 on an insane play by Biggers.  The ball goes just under the glove of Spanberger with Biggers deep in the hole makes a strong throw to barely get Gridley.

[tennesseehogwild]

Yikes!!!!!!

Maddhog, just noticed you were back. You want to take over? If so let us know.

I love DVH's fire

Gordon flies out to Arledge in RF.

[hog.goblin]

Makes Biggers' play even bigger-er.

His defense could save 10 - 12 runs over the year

If UCA has the time then I'm fine with him doing it. He's very good.
