Streaming the game on Razorback Sports Network from IMG.  Right in the middle of a word it went off the air and started saying there is no live broadcast at this time.  It's the only source I have for listening.  does anyone know what happened?

[JHicks3636]

Just think-only the second time this year Mangum had to pitch out of the stretch. He did not appear comfortable.

Nice 2 strike hitting.

Especially since it looked like Barlow's breaking ball was pretty good.

Thanks.  That did it.  Still wonder what happened to the source I usually use.

Bonfield squares one up, but it is right at the 3B.  Arledge is cut down at 2B for a 5-4 FC, but a wide throw pulls the 2B off the bag and the DP can't be completed.  Runners on the corners with 2 outs.

I forgot that this motley crew would want lunch.  Don't know how many ladies  are on here but the struggle is real. 😜

[JHicks3636]

In 4 innings, Alberius with 64 pitches, 41 for strikes.

[jm]

Allowing the State leadoff hitter to get on too often today, but really dealing with to get out of it.

[ucahogfan]

Freshman RHP Riley Self (2-0, 2.84 ERA) is the new pitcher for Mississippi State.

[ucahogfan]

Fletcher grounds out 6-3.

[ucahogfan]

[Dr. Starcs]

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.

[ucahogfan]

Cole sac bunt 5-3.  McFarland on 2B with 2 outs.

[JHicks3636]

3 of our 4 runs today scored by the 7-8-9 hitters in the order.

[ucahogfan]

Spanberger just hit the first pitch of his AB to the road beyond RF, but it was well foul.

[ucahogfan]

Ball in the dirt moves the runners to 2B and 3B with 2 outs.  I'm thinking it should probably be scored a double steal as it did not get away from the C.

[ucahogfan]

Spanberger down swinging to end the inning.

[TNhawgfan]

Nice thing about this series is we've played with the lead practically the entire weekend
