GAME 14 THREAD: #5 Arkansas Razorbacks (10-3, 0-0 SEC) vs Kent State (6-4, MAC)

[thebignasty]

I think one of the games had the first couple of innings not available for a live stream on WatchESPN.

Was not on tunein either for a bit.

[Wisco Pig]

In the 4th, Campbell will face Elsen, Hollander, and Carew.

[tennesseehogwild]

From watching the SEC hoops tourney, one thing I am certain of........Molly McGrath is freakin smoking hot! Go Hogs!

[Wisco Pig]

Elsen, the DH, walked his first time up.   He opens the 4th with a base hit to left.

[Wisco Pig]

Activity in the Arkansas bullpen.   It's Reindl.

[HBTHogs]

They knew yesterday it was a double header. They weren't caught off guard. If there is a replay available, they have a way to broadcast it. It's maddening.

Yeah, they obviously screwed up.  Doesn't sound like they plan on fixing it though.  Go to WatchESPN, hit the "contact us" button and you'll get a chat box.  Give them hell. 

[Wisco Pig]

Elsen advances to second on a passed ball.

[SPAL]

I appreciate you guys bringing the pbp tonight. It's a tough night with other things going on. Y'all are awesome

[TebowHater]

I don't know what eveyone is talking about.  I watched all 3 games last weekend on the app.

They got it working by the 3rd or 4th inning.

[Wisco Pig]

Hollander, the SS, runs the count to 2-2 and then lines out to Fletcher.   The runner holds at 2nd.  One out.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

They got it working by the 3rd or 4th inning.

Mine worked halfway through the 1st inning.

[Wisco Pig]

Back to the top of the order and Carew.   He gets ahead 2-1 and then 3-1 before Campbell runs the count full.  On the 3-2 pitch, Carew strikes out swinging.

Two out, man on 2nd.

[Wisco Pig]

Mamarella lines one to the gap in right.   Kent State leads, 5-1.

[Wisco Pig]

That will be it for Campbell.   Reindl will come on to pitch.

[UAGolfer1981]

On a positive note:    Stanford is beating Texas 2-0

[tennesseehogwild]

This kid can hit. Might consider walking him if that situation comes up again.

[Wisco Pig]

If the stat feed is correct, and I believe it is, only one of Campbell's five runs was earned.  The runner at 2nd is Campbell's, of course.

[Wisco Pig]

Kanavas bats with a runner on 2nd and two outs.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Campbell still hasn't really found his groove yet.

[Wisco Pig]

Kanavas strikes out swinging at an 0-2 pitch.

After 3 1/2, Kent St. leads, 5-1.

[Wisco Pig]

To begin the Hogs' rally in the 4th:

2 Cole, .391
3 Martin, .400
4 Bonfield, .333

[Pudgepork]

Time to knock this pitcher off the mound. Go Hogs

[TebowHater]

Good job Cole. Let's get it going please

[Wisco Pig]

Cole (0-1) singles to right-center over the 2B to start the 4th.

[TebowHater]

Awesome at bat by Martin

[Wisco Pig]

Martin (.400) runs the count full, fouls off a few more, and then walks.

Cole moves to second.  No outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Bonfield singles up the middle, scoring Cole.

5-2, Kent State.

[TebowHater]

Great job Luke! Need a hit by HK here.

The difference in averages between our first 5 hitters and final four is unbelievable. Over 150 points lower on average

[Wisco Pig]

Martin advances to 3rd on the hit.

Kjerstad bats with men on 1st and 3rd.

[EconHawg]

We're never out of a game with this lineup.

C'mon guys lets keep the bats going!

EDIT: FIX MY GAME STREAM ESPN!

[Wisco Pig]

Kjerstad hits a slow roller to 2B, scoring Martin and advancing Bonfield to 2nd.

5-3, Kent St.

[SPAL]

This guy

[Wisco Pig]

That's all for Wollersheim, the Kent St. starter.   The new pitcher, Havekost, inherits a man on 2nd and one out.

[SPAL]

Shaddy needs to bring him around

[ThisTeetsTaken]

We're going to knock this new pitcher all over the yard!

[thebignasty]

Between Wollerscheim, Havekost, and Kjerstad,  we have a serious name competition going.

[Razorbacks#1]

This guy

Wonderful stories out there about CDVH chasing this kid. What a GEM!

[Wisco Pig]

Shaddy (.282) is next.  He falls behind in the count, 1-2, evens it at 2, and then strikes out swinging.

Two outs.

[Wisco Pig]

Fletcher, who struck out looking his first time up, runs the count to 2-2 and then strikes out swinging.

Arkansas strands a runner and trails after 4 innings, 5 to 3.

[TebowHater]

The difference in averages between our first 5 hitters and final four is unbelievable. Over 150 points lower on average

Straight strike outs after the 5 hole there.

[Wisco Pig]

In the Kent St. 5th:

4 Parks, .294
5 Dalporto, .282
6 Hamilton, .410

[Wisco Pig]

Parks pops out on a 2-1 pitch.   The Kent St. coach is claiming that Martin was out of play when he caught the ball.

[Wisco Pig]

After the foul out, Dalporto bats.   He grounds out to Biggers, 6-3.

Two outs.

[Pudgepork]

Send the KS coach to the showers.  Its an out

[tennesseehogwild]

I like bringing in Reindl early here. Hopefully he keeps them on 5 while we get it it going.

[Wisco Pig]

Hamilton, now batting .410 with 2 singles and 2 RBI in Game 2, runs the count full against Reindl and then strikes out swinging.

A 1-2-3 inning.   After 4 1/2, it's 5-3, Kent State.
