Game 38 Thread: Arkansas (22-15) vs. Stephen F. Austin (15-20)

[ucahogfan]

First pitch is set for 6:35 this evening.  This game will not be televised.  Arkansas will send Freshman RHP Alex Phillips (3-0, 1.64 ERA) to the bump for his 7th start of the year.  Phillips is coming off the best outing of his young career after 1 hitting a good UNLV team over 6 innings last Wednesday.  The Lumberjacks are countering with Junior RHP Halden Maynard (0-1, 9.00 ERA) who will face an Arkansas offense that has been swinging the bats in the last couple of weeks better than they have all season.  I should be able to do PBP tonight, but that could change.

0-1. 9.0 ERA. Let's swing it early and often and put this one away quickly.

heading to Baum....nice night for baseball

[dotnet]

I just looked - they have given up a lot of runs to teams in mid week games this year.  Wow. 

Hopefully this is a fun game.

Looks like the same lineup as Sunday's.

Go HOGS!

I hope that Fisher gets an AB in the bottom of the 5th tonight.  He has been hotter than any other hitter in the country the last 3 games in the 5th inning.

Up for the Hogs
Fisher
Wernes
Wise

[ucahogfan]

Fisher singles right back up the box.

[PigDaddyKane]

Good to see Phillips have an easy inning 

[ucahogfan]

Wernes gets a single on a perfectly executed hit and run.  Fisher was running and the 2B was over to cover the bag and Wernes hit a very slow roller to about where the 2B was.  The ball did not leave the dirt of the INF and barely left the INF grass.

[ucahogfan]

Wise sac bunt 5-4.  His team leading 8th sac bunt of the season.  Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.
