Anu with a seeing eye single through the right side and beating the shift.
Harris draws a full count. UK looking to put runners in motion on 3-1 count and Harris fouled it off. He battles but grounds into a twin killing.
Liebert with a double into left center. He got new life after a foul ball popped out of the glove on a strong attempt. He took advantage and got the double.
McCarthy up and hits a rather weak grounder up the middle that short gets to and throws him out to end the top of the 2nd.

0-1 pitch goes over Liebert's head and advances the runner at first. Next pitch goes past the diving Ritter up the middle and there are runners on the corners with 0 outs.
Big out as a blooper goes into shallow center and not deep enough to plate the run as Harris catches it. That was Reeves, who has been dangerous.
Ugh. Ritter gets one he takes to second himself but he sails the throw to first and Norton scores to tie the game 1-1. Should have ended the inning. It's an error on Ritter on the throw. All American candidate has to make that play.
Bosma worked ahead but didnt get a strike call and ends up losing the hitter and giving up his first walk. Runners at 1 and 2 with 2 outs.
5 straight balls and out comes Roszel to settle down Bosma. The visit didn't work and he throws two more balls and loads the bases.
Another ball. That's 8 straight. He finally gets back in the strike column. UK bullpen already getting loose. I think Bosma found it and this hitter isn't seeing the ball that well. Strike 3 swing and a miss.
Bosma pitches out of trouble and the game stays 1-1 going to 3.

I've been distracted trying to fix my wife's new phone to work the way she wants. I just heard that we have outhit JSU 9 to 3 yet lead only 3-1. It doesn't help hitting into double plays or getting runners picked off but players who don't have much real game experience have to learn some time.
Leadoff walk for JSU.
Lee ends up getting a K to strand 2 that were walked and or hit by a pitch.
3-1 going to 8

JSU hasn't taken advantage of men on. They've stranded 7 so far. I guess you can also attribute that to UK pitchers shutting the door.
I miss tracking things via a box score. The only one I can find on the game is the one on SECSports which is way behind on this game. It shows still 1-1 for this game.
EDIT: Just looked at the box score on JSU's web site and it is up to date and looks good. You would think UK could link that so we have a box score for games that Kentucky is playing. Online stuff for UK athletics besides basketball and football is pretty lame.

Is there not a live stats link on ukathletics.com?
If that continues to be a problem then I'll see if I can keep a sort of box score for UK to let you know who is hitting and what not.
Another walk for UK by Fogel and JSU going to the pen.
I think that we're seeing the big difference here between UKs bullpen depth and theirs.
Hatchcock pitching again.

There isn't one. If other teams have their act together like JSU, we can just use that.
JSU does have a link for live stats on their schedule on their own website.

I apologize for today and yesterday. I'll usually post a link to watch a free live stream for the game but I have been completely occupied.
I hope to do better in the future.
Jacksonville State had taken out their middle infield for pinch hitters and the replacements botch what might have been a double play and everyone is safe on the Estep grounder.
Anu grounded to third and the 3Bman tries to tag Fogel. He misses him, but Fogel overslides the bag and ends up out. Fielder's choice.
Harris another hard hit that goes into right and it scores a run 6-1. Cats at second and third. Harris having a great day and weekend.
Liebert has had a big day as well with a couple doubles and he gets ahead 3-0. Again. I think you're seeing the bullpen issues for the Gamecocks. Liebert walks.
McCarthy gets another chance. He'll face a new pitcher. RBI ground out to third for McCarthy.
7-1.
Ritter now the last man of UK hitting around. He has a hard hit grounder to the pitcher and it's off the pitcher and it scores a run and everyone is safe. 8-1.
Jump grounds out to end the top of the 8th
8-1. Cats with a big inning.

Weird that the online stats on UKathletics for the first two games show only 9 hitters having plate appearances. That seems weird to me. Not one pinch hitter nor a single substitution in the field before Rubalcaba getting a break with Liebert catching today.
Cats have been getting some clutch hitting in key moments. That has been a positive this weekend.
Fogel calls of Harris in shallow right to start the 8th. Harper pitching now in relief of Lee.
Another fly to right for out number 2.
Harris out to shallow center and again called off by Fogel.
8-1 after 8

Plastiak stays in to hit again. He strikes out this time.
Fogel up. He's hit in the head and he's fine and takes his base.
Estep is one I might expect to see UK PH for as Church could come in. He doesn't. Estep going to hit again. Wonder how healthy Church is? Wild pitch advances Fogel.
Single for Anu to score Fogel. 9-1
Estep takes home on a wild pitch and Anu at 2nd. 10-1
