[JHicks3636]

Kopps 43 pitches through 3 innings, 30 strikes

[Mr.Swine89]

Kopps really knows how to lock a hitter up

He is mixing pitches so well and throwing 3 for strikes. His change up has a lot of good downward movement

[SPAL]

Wow at what I just saw

[JHicks3636]

Cole falls behind 1-2, hits an INSIDE THE PARK HOMERUN

2-0 Arkansas

[SPAL]

Very scary moment there.

[JHicks3636]

Stats have stopped working so I will be slow off the TV feed until it cranks back up

[Cornfed Pig]

man, dangerous play

[SPAL]

For those who missed it, the left fielder dove/jumped into the fence and didn't move for several minutes.

[JHicks3636]

Miami leftfielder hit the fence, was down, now up and stays in the game

[JHicks3636]

Biggers flies out to left

[Cornfed Pig]

He is mixing pitches so well and throwing 3 for strikes. His change up has a lot of good downward movement

Got 'em in handcuffs

[JHicks3636]

Bonfield, goes 1-1, then flies to center, 2 outs

[SPAL]

They have a very good centerfielder

[dotnet]

I'm impressed by Kopps.  His fastball seems a little fringy (via the tv) for SEC purposes, but his ability to locate all of his pitches and to keep hitters off balance is great.  You can tell he isn't a true freshman. 

On the replay of his first K of the 3rd inning, you could tell how messed up the hitter was.  He didn't have a chance. 

[JHicks3636]

Koch who has a hit today, flies out to center on an 0-1 pitch

Arkansas 2-0 after 3 full

[JHicks3636]

The fly outs were well hit

[JHicks3636]

Due for Miami

Stephens  0-1
Haffey      0-1
Senger     0-1

Miami pitcher with 44 pitches through 3 innings, 33 strikes

Kopps dang near violated his 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure.

[JHicks3636]

Stephens goes full and walks, man on 1st, 0 out

[JHicks3636]

Haffey goes 2-0, 2-1, pops out to 2nd, runner still at 1st, now 1 out

[JHicks3636]

Senger singles to left on the 1st pitch, 2 on with 1 out

[JHicks3636]

Would be a nice time to see our first double play this year

[SPAL]

I'm calling g a 4-6-3 here

[JHicks3636]

Stone goes 2-0 as Kopps having a little trouble locating pitches, mound visit, 3-0, walks and the bases are full of Red Hawks with only 1 out

[JHicks3636]

Alberius in to relieve Kopps

[SPAL]

Kopps will end his day, responsible for all runners on.

Josh Alberius will try to keep the Hawks from plating a run.

[hawgrunner]

Kopps needs a break, but nice job first 3.

[JHicks3636]

Kopps finishes with 58 pitches, 35 strikes thanks to a wild 4th inning

[tennesseehogwild]

 one out in the 4th inning of the 3rd game of the season before DVH has to make the walk! I'll take it. Now let's get out of this mess.

[JHicks3636]

Elvers who had a hit today in his first at-bat, goes 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, singles to right, rbi, bases still juiced, 1 out

2-1 Arkansas

[hawgrunner]

[JHicks3636]

Harris goes 1-1, grounds into our 6-4-3 DP to end the threat
