Game 35 Thread: #24 Arkansas (21-13, 6-6 SEC) vs. #8 LSU (25-8-1, 6-5-1 SEC)

[ucahogfan]

Wernes grounds a single into right on a perfectly executed hit and run.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[trippigs]

Nola is 100+

[ucahogfan]

Wise singles into left and Eagan is cut down at 3B 7-5-6 as Vitello was waving him home, but then called him back.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.  Huge play right there and Eagan is being coach up by DVH in the dugout.

Meeting on the mound for the Tigers.

Junior LHP Zac Person warming in the pen.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

That was our chance right there!

[catfish07]

Rough out to take.

[ucahogfan]

Bernal blown away by some high smoke.  13th K by Nola tonight and more than likely his last pitch of the evening.

Glad Nola is gone.

[elksnort]

Nice effort. Not enough.

[tennesseehogwild]

Wise singles into left and Eagan is cut down at 3B 7-5-6 as Vitello was waving him home, but then called him back.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.  Huge play right there and Eagan is being coach up by DVH in the dugout.

Should have sent him....Not sure it would have even drawn a throw home with Tigers up 3 runs...UGGGGGGGGGGGH

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson lines the 1st pitch of the bottom of the 7th into right for a single.  It was Killian's 88th pitch.

[ucahogfan]

Should have sent him....Not sure it would have even drawn a throw home with Tigers up 3 runs...UGGGGGGGGGGGH

Wise hit it pretty hard.  Eagan would have almost certainly have been gunned down.

[ucahogfan]

Ibarra singles into center on a hit and run.  Stevenson winds up at 3B and Ibarra is cut down 8-6-3 at 1B.  Runner on 3rd with 1 out.

[catfish07]

Good execution, let's shut it down

[ucahogfan]

Moore IBB.  Runners on the corners with 1 out.

Junior RHP Jacob Stone warming in the pen.

[tennesseehogwild]

Wise hit it pretty hard.  Eagan would have almost certainly have been gunned down.

Down 3 thats a chance I would have taken....Gunned at home most certainly better than what happened UCA.....Agree/Disagree?

[ucahogfan]

Robertson flies out to Spoon who makes a hell of a diving catch.  Moore was off with the pitch and is doubled off 8-4-3.  That will almost certainly be a #SCTop10 for sure.

[catfish07]

One hell of a play by spoon!

[elksnort]

Great defense though, seriously good defense. The defense seems to be playing better than in the past several years.

[catfish07]

Run scored correct?

[PigDaddyKane]

Two heads up defensive plays in that inning.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Bama has lost to Auburn so we will at least not lose ground on first place. Still 2 games back.

[ucahogfan]

Down 3 thats a chance I would have taken....Gunned at home most certainly better than what happened UCA.....Agree/Disagree?

An out is still an out.  Eagan should have held up on a ball hit that hard to begin with.

[hawgtahm]

This is my only way to follow. Why did Eagan hold at 2nd on a perfectly executed  hit and run to right?

[trippigs]

Quirky baseball is entertaining.  But would like to have that run back

[ucahogfan]

Nola back out there in the 8th.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon draws a 4 pitch leadoff walk.

[ucahogfan]

Paul Maineiri out to the mound as Nola's night is over.

New pitcher is Junior LHP Zac Person (1-1, 2.70 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Run scored correct?

Yeah, I would have thought with the force play at 1st that it wouldn't have counted, but it did.  Thought force outs nullified runs no matter when they were scored.

[ucahogfan]

This is my only way to follow. Why did Eagan hold at 2nd on a perfectly executed  hit and run to right?

RF wasn't playing very deep and you never make the first out at 3B.

[TikiHog]

This is my only way to follow. Why did Eagan hold at 2nd on a perfectly executed  hit and run to right?

This...Eagen should have been standing on 3rd and scored on Wise hit

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi flies out near the track in RF.

[TikiHog]

it was a slow 3 hopper and Eagen was 1 step from 2nd when it was still bouncing through the infield

[ucahogfan]

We are an aggressive team on the base paths and Vitello probably didn't think Eagan would have made it safely.

[ucahogfan]

Serrano draws a walk to put runners on 1nd and 2nd with 1 out for Anderson.

Junior RHP Joe Broussard warming in the pen for the Tigers.

Never heard of a force at first.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Anderson is battling.

[kennymayne]

Never heard of a force at first.

Wut?

[ucahogfan]

Anderson doubles into the RCF gap.  2 runs score.  Anderson's 10th double of the year and his 30th and 31st RBIs.  It was a hell of an AB and he almost hit it out.  Anderson extends his hitting streak to 11 games.

5-3 LSU.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

ANDERSON!!!!!

WPS!!!!!

[trippigs]

Nice.    Got a game going now

[tennesseehogwild]

An out is still an out.  Eagan should have held up on a ball hit that hard to begin with.

WHEN we come back and win this one I will admit you were right amigo......BTW U do a helluva job on PBP!

[ucahogfan]

RS Freshman Blake Baxendale will pinch hit for Eagan.

LSU will counter by bringing in their closer Junior RHP Joe Broussard (0-0, 7 S, 0.56 ERA).

[YtownHog]

Huge hit Anderson! 

[catfish07]

Great AB.

[hawgtahm]

Wut?

I've never heard of a force out at first.

[jry04]

Never heard of a force at first.

When a fly ball is caught, the runner on first is forced to run back to first. Any out that does not require a tag is a force out...

May be wrong, but I don't think the run should have counted.

[ucahogfan]

Junior Michael Gunn replaces Blake Baxendale.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Ole Miss has beat MSU!
