[ucahogfan]

[ucahogfan]

Shelby bounces a single into LF.

[tennesseehogwild]

3 aint gonna win it. Got a feeling we do better 2nd time through the lineup. Chip away boys!

[ucahogfan]

Hariston HBP.

[ucahogfan]

Bernal works the count full, and he walks to load the bases.  Ball 2 looked like it should have been called strike 3.  Very similar location to what was called on Benintendi.

[ucahogfan]

Wilson flies out to Benintendi in shallow CF.  The runner wisely holds at 3B.

Senior RHPs Jackson Lowery and Lance Phillips hustling to warm in the pen.

[tennesseehogwild]

Cmon Taco grind it out!

[ucahogfan]

Tucker Pennell being worked on in the dugout for his finger for a short delay, but he is a C so he just shrugs it off and gets back behind the dish.

[ucahogfan]

Arnold singles up the middle.  2 runs score.  A wild throw by Benintendi gets away from Wernes.  Another run scores and Arnold winds up on 3B.

6-0 Kentucky.

[rhog1]

Just not our day so far.

[ucahogfan]

Heady walks on 4 pitches.

[ucahogfan]

DVH wastes no time in coming out to the mound as Big Taco's night is over.

New pitcher for the Hogs is Senior RHP Jacob Stone (2-2, 1 S, 3.20 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Barrett grounds the first pitch into RF for a single.  Another run scores.  Runners on 1B and 2B with 2 outs.

[ucahogfan]

White sends a high chopper deep in the hole at SS for an INF single.

[ucahogfan]

Tom doubles off the wall in dead CF.  Bases clear.

10-0 Wildcats.

[ricepig]

Save anyone else for tomorrow, it just happens like this sometimes.

[Knot2brite]

Well the dam has broke...time to save the villagers ...lets scratch back when we get to bat ...have to get up off the floor or lay down and die

[ucahogfan]

Save anyone else for tomorrow, it just happens like this sometimes.

Tom has had IMO the only two hard hit balls tonight.  A lot of these hits have had eyes.

[ucahogfan]

Shelby grounds out 6-3.

I agree, how many pitches can we expect out of Stone. Can he go for 4 or 5 innings?

[ricepig]

Like I said it happens. I don't want to burn the bullpen tonight, save some for tomorrow.

[ucahogfan]

Nomura loops a single into RF.

[ricepig]

I agree, how many pitches can we expect out of Stone. Can he go for 4 or 5 innings?

Doubtful, didn't he go 5 on Tuesday with a pretty high pitch count?

[ucahogfan]

Like I said it happens. I don't want to burn the bullpen tonight, save some for tomorrow.

Me either.  Use the freshmen to back up Stone tonight.  Heck, take Stone out now for tomorrow.

[ucahogfan]

McAfee barrels it up, but the LF didn't have to move.

[ricepig]

Me either.  Use the freshmen to back up Stone tonight.  Heck, take Stone out now for tomorrow.

Yep

True, and the team can't give up, but DVH has to coach for tomorrow and not waste anyone that can help him tomorrow.

[ucahogfan]

Wilson draws a 1 out walk.

Remember back in the day with the hot bats we came back from 10 down and won on a walk off GS by House? That was a classic.

[jry04]

Wow. We better win tomorrow. We can't afford to drop a series to a team from the lower half of the conference

They had a top 25 RPI and top 10 SOS coming into this series. You act as if they are a terrible team.

[ucahogfan]

Serrano laces the first pitch into the LF corner for a double.  Serrano's 5th double of the season.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi pops out to the 1B.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon down swinging.

[ucahogfan]

Pocono, you want to take over PBP to start the 5th?
