Benintendi lines a single into LCF.

Serrano pops out to the C in foul ground.

Wise and Fisher play unreal D

As long as they keep this up, both should be on the All-SEC defensive team at the end of the year and will be sorely missed next year.

[PigDaddyKane]

Anyone know why Razor Vision keeps changing me over to the softball game. 

Title 9?

[ucahogfan]

Only about 5,700 fans in Alex Box this afternoon.

[ucahogfan]

Moore lines the first pitch down the LF line for a double.

[jry04]

Fisher is really coming on. His glove at first has bailed out a ton of bad throws, and now his bat is coming on to complement his defense. I believe I heard Chuck say on Friday that Fisher was batting .280 in SEC play, which was quite a bit higher than his overall batting average coming into SEC play.

[ucahogfan]

Hale grounds out 6-3 as Moore has to stay on 2nd.

[ucahogfan]

Wild pitch allows Moore to move to 3rd.  I think it might have gone through the webbing of Wise's mitt.

[PigDaddyKane]

Only about 5,700 fans in Alex Box this afternoon.

Doesn't look like there's that many.

[ucahogfan]

Stevenson sac fly to LF.  Moore scores.

9-3 Hogs.

[HamIAm]

Only about 5,700 fans in Alex Box this afternoon.

They must have all gone to Starkville, attendance there today was 15,586.

[ucahogfan]

Ibarra grounds out 5-3.

how many pitches for Oliver

[ucahogfan]

Fisher is really coming on. His glove at first has bailed out a ton of bad throws, and now his bat is coming on to complement his defense. I believe I heard Chuck say on Friday that Fisher was batting .280 in SEC play, which was quite a bit higher than his overall batting average coming into SEC play.

He was hitting .279 in SEC play entering today with 6 XBHs which was the most on the team.  He is now the 2nd Hog to have double digit RBIs in SEC play with 10.  Plus, you can't beat his defense at 1B.

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for LSU is Sophomore LHP Hunter Devall (0-0, 1.69 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Anderson grounds it to 3B and the 3B boots it.  Anderson is searching for a hit to extend his hitting streak.  E5.

[ucahogfan]

Bax looks at strike 3 and Anderson is caught stealing 2-6 after a perfect throw by Scivicque.

[ucahogfan]

Fisher lines the 1st pitch near the track in LF for a F7.

[ucahogfan]

Arkansas has thrown only 4 pitchers so far this weekend while LSU has used 13 including 2 of those guys twice.

[ucahogfan]

Fraley flies out to Benintendi in the RCF gap.

[ucahogfan]

McMullen draws the 6th walk issued by Oliver.

[Break & Run]

This series has been extremely close.  Hopefully our bats are coming around for good.  Our pitching has been good

[ucahogfan]

Laird grounds out 6-3 as McMullen was in motion.  Would have been a 6-4-3 DP otherwise.

[JHicks3636]

McMullen draws the 6th walk issued by Oliver.

And coming into the game I think he only had 11 walks total

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

So, so close to a sweep of LSU. A 1 run 9th inning loss yesterday and a 6 foot wide strike zone Friday.

[TikiHog]

the strike zone didn't beat us on Friday....I would say errors and no timely hitting

[ucahogfan]

Bregman runs the count full, and he draws yet another walk.  Wise had been called out on strikes on a pitch in a very similar location earlier.

[ucahogfan]

Scivicque singles into center.  McMullen scores.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.

9-4 Hogs.

[ucahogfan]

Moore runs the count full, and he lines it straight to Wernes.

Up for the Hogs
Wernes
Wise

I would say Aaron Nola beat us Friday and errors.  Anderson had a pretty clutch hit in the 8th when we needed it.

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for LSU is Sophomore LHP Henri Faucheux (2-0, 2.20 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Wernes runs the count full, and he draws a leadoff walk.

[ucahogfan]

Wise sac bunt 1-3-4.  The P bobbled the ball, but the 1B was close enough to pick up the ball and get Wise.

[JHicks3636]

Oliver with 104 pitches through 7 innings. I doubt that we see him in the 8th.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

how many pitches for Oliver

104 pitches and 54 for strikes

[ucahogfan]

Bernal HBP.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[ucahogfan]

Spoon runs the count full, and he walks to load the bases as the runners were off with the pitch.

[ucahogfan]

Benintendi lines one into CF for a sac fly.  Wernes and Bernal tag.  Wernes scores.  Benintendi's 17th RBI of the season.

10-4 Hogs.

[ucahogfan]

Serrano grounds out 6-3 on a nice play by Bregman.  Replay showed Serrano was safe.

[Razorbacks#1]

Looked like he was there

[ucahogfan]

New pitcher for Arkansas is Freshman RHP Zach Jackson (2-1, 1 S, 2.42 ERA).

[ucahogfan]

Junior Chris Sciambra pinch hitting for LSU.

[JHicks3636]

Was safe and it was not close. Now that was a horrible call.

[ucahogfan]

Sciambra goes down swinging on a powerful fastball.  Jackson's 1st K and 2nd for Razorback pitching.
