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

We hope that the many other regular posters will join in also and continue to add quality input.

Not seeing it either.

Still not seeing it on watchespn......will this be another one that shows up late?  We were told both games would be shown. 

[Wisco Pig]

The Kent State starting line-up:

1 lf CAREW, Ben, .167
2 cf MAMARELLA, Mason, .389
3 rf KANAVAS, Nick, .356
4 3b PARKS, Pavin, .250

7 2b O'BRIEN, Kian, .242
8 dh ELSEN, Nick   
9 ss HOLLANDER, Josh, .200

p WOLLERSHEIM, Connor   L

[Wisco Pig]

Looks like Kent State has decided to start another lefty.   A righthander named Joey Murray was originally listed as the probable starter in Game 2.

[Wisco Pig]

Carew (any relation to Rod?) leads off for Kent State against Campbell.

Carew strikes out on a 1-2 pitch.

[returntoglory]

Is this game on espn3?

[Wisco Pig]

Mamarella, the CF, bats second.   He gets ahead of Campbell, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1. 

Mamarella then grounds to Shaddy, who can't make the play.   E4.

[Wisco Pig]

Mamarella steals 2nd base.

[WBOBO]

Is this game on espn3?

No I checked it as well.

[tennesseehogwild]

We can't get this guy out today!

[SPAL]

watchESPN is trash sometimes

[SPAL]

It's showing as a Saturday upcoming..... someone asleep at the switch I guess.

[Wisco Pig]

Campbell falls behind Kanavas, 3-1, and then Kanavas walks on a wild pitch.   The other runner moves to 3rd.

Men on 1st and 3rd, one out.

[Wisco Pig]

Parks doubles to right-center and drives in two runs to start the scoring.

2-0, Kent State.

[Wisco Pig]

Dalporto, the catcher, is next.   He was 0-4 in the opener.

Man on 2nd, one out.

[Wisco Pig]

Dalporto flies out to right field on a full count.

The runner advances to third.   Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Hamilton, the first baseman, bats next.   He falls behind Campbell 0-2 and then lines a base hit into CF, scoring the runner.

3-0, Kent State.

[Wisco Pig]

Hamilton is caught stealing to end the Kent State 1st.

3-0, Golden Flashes, as we head to the bottom of the inning.

[JHicks3636]

Not the start that I envisioned.

[tennesseehogwild]

Cmon Hogs! Get some back here.

[Pudgepork]

Let's go Hogs. Vegas won't let me out of that $25 I bet on this game

[Wisco Pig]

In the Hogs' first, we'll see Biggers, Cole, and Martin.

[Wisco Pig]

Biggers opens with a double to left field on a 1-1 pitch.

[Wisco Pig]

Cole, batting .400, is next.   He homered in the first game.

[Wisco Pig]

Cole flies out to right field.  It's deep enough to allow Biggers to advance to 3rd base.   One out.

[Wisco Pig]

Martin, up to .412, grounds out to second, but the run scores.

Kent State, 3-1.   Two outs, no one on.

[bulldog04]

Still can't get the game to come up on watch espn app

[TebowHater]

Still can't get the game to come up on watch espn app

They're working on it per Razorback Baseball Twitter.

[jfred59]

Maybe someone that has contacts need to ask a UA official

[Wisco Pig]

The clean-up hitter, Bonfield, bats next.   He runs the count to 2-2, 3-2, and then flies out to RF to end the 1st inning.

After 1, Kent State leads, 3-1.

[Wisco Pig]

In the Kent St. 2nd:

7 O'Brien, .242
8 Elsen (no average)   
9 Hollander, .200

[Razorbacks#1]

[Wisco Pig]

O'Brien, the 2B, opens the 2nd by grounding out to Biggers.   What a play by Jax.

[WBOBO]

They're working on it per Razorback Baseball Twitter.

I don't know why someone doesn't go up to the SEC + announcers
and inform them.

[Wisco Pig]

Elsen is next.   He's from Kenosha, Wisconsin.

[Wisco Pig]

Elsen, the DH, runs the count to 2-2, then full, and then walks.

[Wisco Pig]

Hogs were not happy with that call on the 3-2 pitch.

[TebowHater]

I don't know why someone doesn't go up to the SEC + announcers
and inform them.

They're aware. It's the production crew who is dropping the ball. Pretty ridiculous for this to happen in back to back weekends, but hopefully this gets them in enough trouble that it won't happen again in conference play.

[Wisco Pig]

Hollander grounds to Martin at 3rd base.   The out goes 5-4 and the runner advances to 2nd.

Two outs, one on.
