Maile up

 

BF

 

Luke does what he does and hits a single but McCathry falls down and can't go to 3rd

 

1st and 2nd no outs

[HT721]

Either way runners now on 2nd and 3rd with one out.

[Theoldguy]

Williams sac 1-3 1 out

 

runners now on 2nd and 3rd

[HT721]

I don't like the sac bunt there, with no outs you need to score runs.

[Theoldguy]

Flynn up

 

BBBSS

Double by Flynn drives in two runs

score PU 2 Ky 2

[HT721]

UK needed that one, a strikeout there would have been bad. They can also work the pitch count up some now with this inning. I guess now it's obvious why I don't coach baseball I thought that sac bunt was a stupid idea.

But it works now didn't it!:clap:

[Theoldguy]

Another run scores as Zellars hits a double off the wall to score a run

 

Ky 3 PU 2

 

Still only 1 out

 

PU going to take out their starter.....

But it works now didn't it!:clap:

 

There is a reason I'm coaching from my recliner .

 

Any chance of UK hosting a super, what region are they paired up with?

In a game that you have to win, you have to have runner in scoring position to score. It also takes them out of the DP chances. Smart play IMHO.

Just got done speaking with Rich and indeed it is a game time decision.

 

UK has to beat Purdue than beat Kent State at 8pm tonight than again on Monday.

 

BTW if all the above happens (and I hope and think it will) we UK fans have to be rooting against Oregon as if they win out, UK would play them in Eugene Oregon but if they lose and Kentucky wins, the next round would be played in Lexington, Ky

2nd out but he moves the runner to 3rd.

Ya it worked out well, I guess I just like to have faith that my cleanup guy will get me a hit when we have to have it.

Anyone who doesn't understands the HBP rule the play just now show the difference between HS and College and Pros

 

Batter didn't move and got hit

 

men on 1st and 3rd and then a base hit up the middle and UK scores another run

 

4-2 UK

I believe once Oregon is out it would be a bidding process. Seeds are irrelevant if the 2 ones are out I just wasn't sure how the 1 seed was doing in the regional UK/Purdue/Kent State is paired with. Knowing it's Oregon I'll definitely keep my eye out for them though. If UK can win this one they are going to have a good shot at Kent State. I really think UK can take two in a row from them, the depth is what separates the big boy leagues from the mid majors.
