Single to right and 2 runners are on with 1 out

[JHicks3636]

Turner grounds into a 6-4-3 DP on the 1st pitch

[BigSexyHog]

DP... Pitchers best friend

[JHicks3636]

We go to the Hog 6th leading 3-0

Bernal will probably be drafted this year because of his defense (although he does have off-games) and Anderson has shown that he can stick at 2B at the next level.

[JHicks3636]

Nice play by Vandy 2nd baseman to snag Fisher's looping liner

[ucahogfan]

Is it just me or do we seem to have more batters with an open stance this year?

Yep, we have more hitters with an open stance this year and that is a change from Butler to Vitello.

I'm not a fan of Bax's type swing, but everyone's is different. It just seems he has too much motion and commits on the curveball too soon.

[JHicks3636]

Wernes walks and is at 1st with 1 out.

[JHicks3636]

Wise flies out to right on a diving catch. Hit and run was on but Wernes gets back to 1st

[BigSexyHog]

Nice play by Wiseman.  If he wasn't on his horse that would have fell in for a hit

[Fort Dweller]

Yep, we have more hitters with an open stance this year and that is a change from Butler to Vitello.

Thanks.  Was wondering if it was a change brought by Vitello.

[ucahogfan]

I'm not a fan of Bax's type swing, but everyone's is different. It just seems he has too much motion and commits on the curveball too soon.

Me either.  He puts a charge into when he makes contact, but it also seems like he chases more bad pitches that anyone else on this team.  I think that will change the more he sees collegiate pitching.

[JHicks3636]

Bernal lines one to 3rd to end the 6th

3-0 Arkansas going to the 7th

[BigSexyHog]

Nice contact.... Just sometimes you hit it right at someone...

Got to think a lot of that is youth.

[Fort Dweller]

He reminds me of Ryan Klesko

He reminds me of Ryan Klesko

Now that's a name I never thought I would ever hear again.

[JHicks3636]

Reynolds homers to left on a full count

3-1 Hogs

[BigSexyHog]

1 run doesn't hurt.. All about the next guy.

[JHicks3636]

Johnson working in the Hog bullpen

[ucahogfan]

Reynolds can thank the wind on that HR.  Thought it was gonna be a lazy fly out to Serrano off the bat.

It was just the 3rd XBH allowed by Oliver in about 37.0 IP in SEC play.

[JHicks3636]

Conde grounds out 5-3

[JHicks3636]

Rogers grounds out 4-3

[JHicks3636]

Norwood flairs a single to right center

[JHicks3636]

Pinch hitter for Vandy - Wiel for Wiseman

[BigSexyHog]

Do we see another breaking ball from Oliver?

[JHicks3636]

Wiel fights off a 1-2 pitch and singles to right. 2 on with 2 outs

[JHicks3636]

Hogs going to the pen as DVH is out

[BigSexyHog]

Nice job by Oliver... 

[JHicks3636]

Jackson, freshman RHP in for the Hogs   2-1, 2.10 era

[JHicks3636]

Norwood steals 3rd

[JHicks3636]

Great great play by Fisher in foul ground for the 3rd out off Delay's bat.

[BigSexyHog]

There we go... WPS

[Flatline]

HUGE play

Sorry but those sunglasses are stupid.....

[JHicks3636]

Coleman flies out to center

[ucahogfan]

Jackson flashing a filthy change up that I don't think I've seen this season.

[ucahogfan]

Crazy to think that Jeff Long and Vandy HC Tim Corbin were teammates in college.

[JHicks3636]

Swanson singles through the box, 1 on and 1 out

[BigSexyHog]

Game has really slowed down.  Our pitchers are not in any hurry....

[JHicks3636]

Turner, who earlier extended his hit streak to 26 games, Ks for the 2nd out of the inning

[JHicks3636]

DVH is out and here comes Gunn
