Game 36 Thread: #24 Arkansas (21-14, 6-7 SEC) vs. #8 LSU (26-8-1, 7-5-1 SEC)

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for LSU is Senior RHP Kurt McCune (1-0, 1 S, 3.38 ERA).  I'm pretty sure he was their Friday night starter in 2011.

[ucahogfan]

Wise flies out to right.

[ucahogfan]

Wernes grounds out 4-3.

[ucahogfan]

Fisher doubles down the LF line just off the glove of the LF.  Fisher's 8th double of the year.

[ucahogfan]

Bernal hits one of the fists and flares out to the 3B.

Think Jalen will complete another inning?? He is at 98 pitches but still looks very good...gritty young man

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Gunn and Stone warming.

[ucahogfan]

Scivicque down swinging on a filthy change.  Beeks' 6th K.

Junior RHP Jacob Stone and Junior LHP Michael Gunn warming in the pen.

[ucahogfan]

Ibarra caught looking on a change up at the letters.  Beeks' 7th K.  Ibarra isn't too pleased.

[Scott7703]

Beeks, fisher, and benintendi have done there part today. We need to find a way to win this game.

[ucahogfan]

Hale grounds out 6-3 as we probably will not see Beeks again.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Beeks at 112 pitches

[Break & Run]

Our pitching staff is fantastic.

[ricepig]

He actually pinch ran for him

Pinch hit, lefty batter vs rightly pitcher.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon grounds to Bregman who unleashes a high throw to 1st and the 1B can't glove it.  Spoon hit that ball about 110 MPH.  E6.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Pinch hit, lefty batter vs rightly pitcher.

He pinch ran earlier in the game.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Let's make them pay, Hogs.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Bregman has not impressed me this weekend.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi sac bunt 2-4 puts Spoon on 2nd with 1 out.  Benintendi almost walked on 4 pitches, but the 4th pitch was borderline and ruled a strike.

Junior RHP Joe Broussard warming in the pen.

[ucahogfan]

Pitching change coming up for LSU.

New pitcher is Junior RHP Joe Broussard (0-0, 8 S, 0.51 ERA).  He recorded a 5 out save last night.

[ricepig]

He pinch ran earlier in the game.

Ok, missed that myself.

[Break & Run]

Wow...a 0.5 ERA?  That's impressive...

[Scott7703]

Got the right hitters up at the right time. Need a hit!!!!!

[ucahogfan]

Serrano grounds out 4-3 as Spoon advances to 3rd with 2 outs.

Correction from earlier: Serrano recorded his 4th steal of the season instead of Spoon.

[ucahogfan]

Anderson IBB to put runners on the corners with 2 outs.

Clark Eagan will be the batter.

[98hogs]

Make em pay Hogs

[ucahogfan]

LSU HC Paul Mainieri out to talk strategy.

[Scott7703]

Here comes the extended strike zone.

[ucahogfan]

Eagan down swinging.  The fast ball was several inches outside, but the zone had widened out there that AB.

Junior LHP Henri Faucheux warming in the pen for LSU.

[Scott7703]

Would have sure been nice to have Bax bat there.

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for the Hogs is Junior LHP Michael Gunn (1-0, 5 S, 0.00 ERA).

[ricepig]

Here comes the extended strike zone.

He let two go by that were closer.

[98hogs]

Defense!

[ucahogfan]

Chinea draws a leadoff walk.

[Dirty]

Don't walk him

and he did

[Scott7703]

Uh oh. We have to throw strikes.

[ucahogfan]

Freshman Jake Fraley pinch running for Chinea.

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson sac bunt 1-3.

[Scott7703]

He let two go by that were closer.

Yep, I prefer to hit early in the count and take it out of the umpires hands.

[ucahogfan]

Robertson pops out to Wise behind the plate.  Wise did not throw his mask far enough away and almost stepped on it to make the catch.

[ucahogfan]

McMullen IBB to put runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.

[ucahogfan]

Laird works the count full, and he singles into left.

LSU wins 5-4.

[Razorbacks#1]

[Break & Run]

[ricepig]

Sucks, oh well, you can't issue lead off walks.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

Damn.

[Razorbacks#1]
