GA State v Kentucky (3)

Panthers score first on a single up the middle and then a grounder past third. Anu took ages to get to the ball.
 
A bunt moved the runner to third and then Lee got a K and then an easy chopper to second.

1-0
 
Anu hits into a tailor made double play and short sails it over first. So an FC and an error puts Anu in second. Rhodes strikes out. An error on a pickoff play moves Anu to third. Collett then absolutely murdered one. Holy heck. He hit it out of the park entirely.

2-1 UK
 
Georgia State is just so bad defensively. They give up a walk to Harmon and then don't protect second and he steals. Estep then strikes out.

Going to the 2nd.
 
Lee with a quick inning. Gets a K then a loud out to the wall in left, well played by Rhodes, and a grounder to third.
 
Grace strikes out. Rubalcaba also strikes out. Ritter fists a dying quail into no man's land behind first. Schultz draws a hard earned walk. Anu strikes out.
 
Lee gets a pop out to short, a bunt attempt that goes for an out and a strikeout.

2-1 going to the bottom of the 3rd
 
I like how Zack Lee is keeping all pitches close. There are no pitches off for the batter.
 
Rhodes with a great blast of the wall in left center. Collett sticks the bat out and grounds out to second, advancing Rhodes to third. Harmon grounds to second and they go home with it and get Rhodes at home. Grounder to first by Estep ends the inning.

That's tough. Needed that run. Good defense by Ga State for once.
 
Lee with a grounder to third to start the 4th. Estep looks real comfortable over there. Lee falls behind with three not even close but gets the strikes in a row for the K. Middle middle ball goes for a double to left. Then Lee hits a batter.

Glass is up, last time he hit it to the wall in right. Wow both runners steal on a ball in the dirt. That didn't go far from Rubalcaba and they tested him. Both seem to be safe. It was close. Glass not seeing the ball well on this at bat. Lee keeping the ball down and walks Glass to load the bases.

Lee overthrowing out of the stretch, but he gets a grounder to second to end the top of the 4th.

2-1
 
Grace quickly grounds out to second. Rubalcaba draws a walk. Ritter strikes out swinging. Schultz flies out to center.

Going to the 5th. 2-1
 
Marsh coming in now. Probably a good change. But I think Lee could have started the 5th and came out had he gotten someone on.

Double down the line past Estep.
 
He comes back with a K. Blew it past the hitter. Big out there on the leadoff hitter. Then freezes Mize looking on three pitches. Then a line drive to get out of it
 
That was against Logue. UK got one out. Going to the bullpen for Jones.
 
Harmon gets hit and Estep bunts him over but the catcher misplays the sac bunt and everyone is safe.
 
I think they should have taken out this pitcher. 3-0 count now on Kessler. Finally gets a strike over, but it was borderline as well. Rubalcaba up. Pitcher coming out with 0 outs and bases loaded for UK.
 
Strikeout on Ritter. Why do you not take him down!? Put in Hill or Shelby or someone that hits above .200.
 
Good defense for the Cats. Estep with a quick exchange to throw out the runner and then Anu runs one down right inside foul territory.
 
Collett finally beats the shift and goes down the third base line and Anu scores. 3-2 Cats.

UK going to Harney in the 8th up 3-2. Hill now in left and Lewis at 2nd.
 
Harney gets a K and then a hard hit line drive past Ritter goes for a single. Fly ball van of corn to Hill for out 2. Harney hit a batter. Runners at 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Harney works ahead and gets the K to end the threat.

I wonder if UK sticks with Harney in the 9th or goes to Rigsby.

3-2

Wild throw to first gets past the 1B and Schultz goes to 2nd. Schultz steals third. Hill works a full count and gets a walk.
 
Popped up bunt hits Esteps glove as he dives for it but he can't bring it in. Goes for a single.
 
That is an entire series without an error. I like that. 9 games with 0 errors and 3 games with 9 errors. Seems like when we make an error, it is contagious still. We should move into the .980's in fielding with today's game. That is encouraging.
