Canisius at Kentucky (Game 1)

I'm going to blame windstream but I can't get enough of the game through the video. I'll probably have to drop back to just audio if I want to follow any of the action.
 
Hard to believe that Thompson may lose this game after striking out 11.
 
Lead off single through the right side and then bunt advances him. Fly out to left for out two. Chopper to Kessler ends the top of 7.
 
Gei strikes out on a full count pitch that looked in tight. Gei hated it. Macciochi pinch hits and draws a full count walk.
 
Wow... Cam Hill is super mad as he squares to bunt with 2 strikes and is hit with the pitch. Home gives him first but 3rd base umpire says he offered and calls it strikeout.

That was a bad call, CBK3!! 37 took his bat back and didn’t offer at it.

Daniel falls behind quickly before slapping one into right. Oppo taco. Runners on the corners.
 
Shelby lifts one into right and the right fielder misplays it off of his glove and UK ties it. 2-2. That was an ugly play.
 
That scores a run either way, but it helped put runners at second and third with 1 out and a new pitcher for Canisius. Thompson now at least won't get the L after 11Ks.
 
Shelby was oddly running down the first base line there. Not sure if that's an injury or what, but he only reached to first.

Shift on for Collett and he makes them pay. Grounder to the outfield right where short would normally play. 3-2 UK.
 
Shelby got taken down and Ellington is pinch running and is at second now. Think Shelby is banged up. Shinn with a line drive single to left.
 
Bases loaded for Reed. Reed battling and he gets under one and pops out to right, but it plates Ellington. 4-2.
 
Kessler with a seeing eye single up the middle to score 2 more. UK up 6-2.
 
Gei gets a chance at redemption after not liking the strikeout call earlier in the inning. He walks on 4 straight.
 
These guys are living up to your screen name, CBK3! 1 thing you can’t question this team about and that’s their !

They seem to come alive a bit more later in games. I did question their heart some with the big Sunday loss to Tech, but I think it is all just part of them growing up.

New pitcher for Canisius.

I am curious to see how Macciochi does at second, if he gets any work... and as I type this he does and looks fairly smooth.
 
Harper gives up a walk. Belanger going to talk to him. Back to back fly balls out to Ellington in center ends the top of the 8th.
 
Pop out to right from Daniel. Rook lines one to short and an easy play goes off the side of the glove of the third baseman. They call that a hit. That's generous.
 
Shinn with a line drive into center over the head of the CF for a double. Runners at second and third UK up 7-2.
