Ball State @ Kentucky - Game 2

[Old_Red]

Starting pretty shaky.

 

[Old_Red]

Hazelwood starts with two walks. Missing pretty badly on most pitches.

 

[Old_Red]

Gets a strike out and then makes a good pitch on the next batter busting him on the hands so that he hits into a tailor made double play..

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats wearing the new batting helmets. Blue back, white front

 

[Old_Red]

Schultz gets a single, steals second. We follow that up with two pop flies, one infield the other short center. Wild pitch gets Schultz to third. Anu homers! 2-0 Cats.

 

[KYExtemper]

Nice blast by Anu!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Anu! Round tripper!

 

[TuckyFB]

I wish we had that last night...

 

[Old_Red]

That was pretty much dead center. That is a fur piece.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Yep. That thing went the distance

 

[Old_Red]

Hazelwood seems to be settled in. Two straight strikeouts.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ritter with a blast!!!

 

[Old_Red]

How bout that? Ritter blasting a home run to left center. It seemed to me that he swung with less extra motion. Maybe he is getting used to college ball. He was a much better hitter in high school.

 

[TuckyFB]

There we go, Ritter!

 

[Old_Red]

What are we doing? Announcing that we are stealing?

 

[KYExtemper]

The helmets make us look like the Kentucky Blue Jays

 

[Old_Red]

Ritter gets another single. It seems all the extra movement is gone from his swing.

 

[Old_Red]

You know you are living right when you can pop up a bunt, it doesn't get caught and then the pitcher makes a throwing error to first.

 

[Aday117]

2,3,4 hitters all K with the bases loaded no outs... not great

 

[cats1068]

Death, taxes and 5 and 28 K’ing in pressure situations 🤦‍♂️

 

[Old_Red]

This team strikes out like the 2019 team did.

 

[Aday117]

6 in a row lol. Going to be a struggle at the plate again this year I see.

 

[Old_Red]

This announcer isn't very good. Still doesn't know Kessler was sub'ed for.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I like him but he does have a good bit of room for improvement.

 

[167Hike]

Is the announcer at the ballpark or is he in some bunker control room calling the game?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Logue is dealing. These freshmen pitchers give me a lot of excitement for the future.

Cats win 6-0. Played real good defense.

 

[Old_Red]

Nice bounce back game after a lackluster effort yesterday. No errors other than Cam Hill getting caught off first twice and getting away with it.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Is the announcer at the ballpark or is he in some bunker control room calling the game?

He's there. At least sounds like he is because he's said some foul balls have come his way.

 

[Aday117]

Clean game and good bounce back win. Need to cut down the strikeouts big time though.

 

[Old_Red]

I think he is at the stadium but you have to be in the right field stands to see the left field corner.

 

[TuckyFB]

Good win but still can't wipe yesterday off my brain. Absolutely no reason to lose to this team.

Still too many LOB..

 

[Tskware]

Like I said after yesterday's game the pitching has been much better so far than I expected. Of course we haven't played anybody yet either.
