Salvage One Game Thread (Arkansas Sunday)

[57stratdawg]

State up 2-0 early. Solo shot from Hancock and Yagear. I’ll take it.

Smith was sitting around 90 mph in the bottom of second. Hope that’s just the gun.

 

[stateu1]

We gonna salvage game 3. 2-1 next weekend and we’re ok.

 

[57stratdawg]

2-2 after 4.

 

[57stratdawg]

Interesting spot in T5. Cumbest and Forsythe in a hit and run. Ark CF makes a diving attempt, but didn’t make the catch. Ball comes back into 2nd, because Cumbust thought he had to tag.

Looked like Ark would get an out either way, but since it was called a catch and reversed, Cumbest gets 2nd.

Big break there.

 

[57stratdawg]

HBP. Bases loaded. Kam James up.

Big spot

 

[8dog]

Par for the course there

 

[57stratdawg]

Brutal. James with a ground ball into the shift which Ark turns into a double play.

It wasn’t a break at all. It was what should have happened. Arkansas doesn’t get a free out they didn’t earn simply because the ump blew the original call.

Of course, James went ahead and made the whole thing moot.

 

[57stratdawg]

Cade Smith took a liner off the side of the head. Guessing his day is over. Looked like some blood on his jersey as he went off the field for observation.

 

[Go Budaw]

Big blast from LoTan, but its pretty clear we’re going to need our pen to step up and hold them down. LH guys in the heart of the order aren’t going to do **** against Taylor.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

20+ walks so far and 4 batters hit so far this weekend. That’s SWAC level bad.

"Just put the ball in play, and good things happen" - dummies everywhere.

Id much prefer a k

 

[mdm3045]

Brooks Auger’s stuff is really good today. 95 mph fastball with tailing action.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tygart’s breaking ball is getting called a strike really deep to our hitters.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ha. We’re chirping about it.

Can’t say much though. He’s struck out all 6 he’s faced.

 

[57stratdawg]

Brandon Smith in with the bases loaded. Surprised in the move to go to Smith here. Guess you’re hoping for a double play.

 

[57stratdawg]

It’s Fristoe. Announcers got it wrong going to break.

That make more sense.

 

[57stratdawg]

K! Two down.

Good lord - LT just took a ball off the dick to keep it in front of him. Saved the game, but was it worth it he asked…

 

[57stratdawg]

Free baseball……

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Next year

 

[57stratdawg]

The bullpen has been fine today regardless of the outcome. Good to see.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

Damn...

If James would have went into first head first dive He would have been safe and We would have scored.

 

[mdm3045]

Dang Cumbest has had non-competitive swings and AB’s all weekend

 

[57stratdawg]

Wow - great play by Hancock to stab a line drive, and double up an Ark runner.

Thought that was ball game off the bat.

Last year's pitchers would be enough for us to host a regional this year.

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

5-3 State, pitching change. Don't let up. Keep hitting.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

Then with the go-ahead RBI. Need to close this one out.

 

[57stratdawg]

Wasn’t the prettiest swing ever, but I’ll take it.

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

Definitely. Need to get a win with such a good performance by pitching staff on Sunday.

 

[onewoof]

Fristoe got it done. Getting better

 

[harrybollocks]

Fristoe.

 

[hdogg]

Go dawgs! Proud of these guys. Leggett is pretty clutch.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Good win. Gotten pretty obvious our Friday and Saturday pitchers just aren't quite ready for prime time....yet. I still feel we'll be fairly competitive by the end of the season. For now just proud of them for today's win.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Gutsy win and much needed win today!
