[ucahogfan]

Yep, at least we are getting Nola's pitch count up with all these Ks.

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson flies out to Benintendi as it is far enough in that Benintendi has to call off Anderson.

[ucahogfan]

Ibarra down swinging.  Killian's 1st K.

[ucahogfan]

Moore lines out to Spoon who makes a nice running catch.

man that was a long 4 innings

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

63 pitches for Nola through 4 innings. We might get to their bull pen?

[ucahogfan]

Fisher BOOM!  He lined a 1-2 fastball on the outer half of the plate just over the RCF wall.  It is his 3rd HR of the year which is tied for the team lead with Anderson and Spoon and his 18th RBI.

4-1 LSU.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Maybe that will shake up Nola...............HA!

[ucahogfan]

Wernes flares out to the 1B.

[ucahogfan]

Wise caught looking on a fastball that paints the outside corner.

Bernal grounds out 6-3 as Bregman showed some range up the middle.

Got one back and Nokia pitch count is up. Maybe!!!!

Robertson lines a single into left.

I Love Jake Wise....

McMullen grounds into a 3-6-1 DP.

I Love Jake Wise....

Yep he is messing with them a bit

[ucahogfan]

Laird grounds out 6-3 on a nice play by Bernal.

[TikiHog]

I bet that pissed the plate umpire off...surprised he didn't have the guy rechalk it

What happened?  Didn't notice it.

[TikiHog]

umpire had the grounds crew guy rechalk the box...when the guy walked off Wise kicked away the back lines while the ump was standing there watching

[ucahogfan]

Spoon HBP.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi flies out to left as a hit and run was on.

[tennesseehogwild]

I Love Jake Wise....

This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Is there REALLY any debate who should be behind the plate for the Hogs? I don't care of he bats less than  .100. He is best catcher in SEC.   

[bulldog04]

Why did Wise do that?  I wish the commentators would quit crying about it

[ucahogfan]

Serrano works the count full, and he grounds out 6-3 after fouling off a couple of tough 2 strike pitches.  Spoon on 2nd with 2 outs.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

For those of you that are not listening on the radio, Chuck has been talking about the HP ump's calls for Nola also. It's very obvious to everyone what is going on.

[tennesseehogwild]

Anderson!  Cmon my man

[ROBLYNNM]

This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Is there REALLY any debate who should be behind the plate for the Hogs? I don't care of he bats less than  .100. He is best catcher in SEC.   

Yep.  He is one of the best catchers to pass through Arkansas.

[ucahogfan]

Anderson caught looking on a fastball 6-12 inches off the plate.

If Nola has been getting these types of calls all year, it is no wonder he has struck out so many hitters and has such a low ERA.  He has been getting a solid 3-4 inches off the black all night long and the fans whine and moan when one 6-12 inches off the plate isn't called a strike.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Nola is a great pitcher, he doesn't need any help. Really sad actually!

If I was a scout and came to watch Nola, I would be upset with how the game is being called.

[Houston h]

Wise may be a good defensive catcher but he can't hit his way out of a wet paper sack and that makes him a liability. It's a 2 phase game, he isn't getting it done.

[ucahogfan]

Bregman caught looking on a fastball that paints the outside black.  Killian's 2nd K.

[ucahogfan]

Scivicque grounds out 6-3 as Fisher makes a pretty dig on a low throw by Bernal.

[trippigs]

Killian is picking up steam

[ucahogfan]

Hale grounds out 5-3 on the 1st pitch.

[TikiHog]

that's was a Nola call for Killian

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Hats off to Killian, he's still fighting like he has all year.

[TikiHog]

Bernal could easily have 4 or 5 errors tonight

[ucahogfan]

that's was a Nola call for Killian

Almost, a Nola call would have been another 2-3 inches outside.  Killian's at least looked close to the outside corner.  Strike 3 on Anderson looked like it crossed the chalk of the batter's box.

[elksnort]

that's was a Nola call for Killian

I thought so also. Killian is pitching pretty doggone well though.

[ucahogfan]

Freshman Clark Eagan pinch hitting for Wilkerson.

[ucahogfan]

Eagan grounds to Bregman who boots it.  E6.

[ucahogfan]

Fisher down swinging on a nasty breaking ball.

Just over 7K in the ballpark tonight.  Baum would have 9K+.
