Georgia State at Kentucky (2)

UK got some luck and GA State botched a gimme double play hit by Schultz, but UK couldn't take advantage of the 1 out 2 on as Anu struck out, Rhodes walked, and Collett grounded out to 1st.
 
Hazelwood absolutely dealing. 9 strikeouts in 14 hitters. Just nasty.
 
How come Rubalcaba can't get the ball back to Hazelwood? Ridiculous that he can't keep is pitcher from having to jump to get the ball back.
 
Harmon is seeing the ball really well right now. Nice double to lead off the 4th. I think this starter for GA State is wearing down. Not as sharp as before.
 
Estep gives UK the lead as he shoots a middle/ middle fastball to right center to score Harmon. 1-0

Lewis bunts Estep to second.

Ruby popped up to second and Ritter bounced one back up the box, but couldn't get it through as short took it and threw him out to end the inning.
 
Hazelwood gave up a leadoff double. That second bag is on Anu though. He didn't get the ball in on time and the runner was able to take second.

A bunt moved the runner over and then Hazelwood got a K. Huge K there.
 
I don’t understand why 28 is playing? And to make things worse he’s playing the 7! 🤦‍♂️
 
Gotta say, I miss the Sunday black jerseys. Thought that was a cool tradition.

Hazelwood works a 3-2 count and then a ground out to third to end the inning and kill the threat to keep the score 1-0 good guys.

He hasn't had a lot of defensive chances this weekend, but almost every one he's done badly on.

Got a base hit right there though.
 
Estep playing great, but it's strange to take out Church. Not sure why they put in Lewis in this one.

Schultz killed one off the wall in left center for a leadoff double.

Anu then singled off third baseman and advances Schultz. Let's see if he steals here to kill the double play opportunity.
 
Rhodes got a slow roller to second that's not hit hard enough to double up Anu and it scores Schultz. 2-0.
 
Collett is all or nothing. For the second time this weekend he basically wrists one out of the park. 2 run home run. 4-0 UK.
 
Today is Saturday though...Lol.

Lol. I know, but we wore the black last night and I was thinking about it. Don't think we have worn the blacks on Sunday yet. Lol I'm not full fledged crazy. Promise.

Harmon walks and Estep just keeps hitting as he gets a seeing eye single through the right side.
 
T.J. Collett's bat is suddenly coming alive

The crazy thing is that I feel like he isn't even seeing the ball well. It's not a real smooth swing. He's basically muscling those out. It's one heck of a luxury to be that strong. If he starts seeing it a bit better then he becomes scary good.
 
I really don’t want to crush the kid but why is Lewis playing at all?

I'm just guessing they are trying to get him going, but I don't know. Honestly, he doesn't bring a ton of value other than as a base runner. When you can put Church at 3rd and Estep at 2nd, there just isn't a huge spot for Lewis.

Also... surprised we haven't seen Plastiak again.

Hazelwood gets two fly balls and then his career high 12th strikeout.
 
I feel like Ritter had the worst luck of any hitter. He hits the ball pretty well, but it just always deems to be at someone. Contrast that with Schultz, who often doesn't get the best bat on it, but just often seems to have eyes. Lol some weird baseball luck.

Ball 6. Roszel already out to talk to him.

Jones and Kammin up in the pen.

He finally gets two strikes. That meeting did a lot of good. Strikeout.
 
Ramsey getting that outside corner now. This is where he can be more dangerous. Then a nice line drive finds Anu's glove. He played that one well. Then a grounder to third to end the inning.

Good job by Ramsey to battle back. Good job by Roszel to go talk to him.
 
Harmon has been hitting the ball really well this weekend and he finally gets the elusive home run. Oppo taco style for a solo shot to right center. 5-0 Cats.
 
Rubalcaba with a great swing to send one to the gap in left center. It scored Lewis who had walked and took second on a WP. 6-0

New pitcher for Ga State
 
Kammin in and he gives up a bunt single and then a walk. Roszel out to talk to him.
 
Hunter Rigsby making his season debut. Finally off of medical protocols. Looking good to start. Throwing downhill.
