Kentucky v. South Carolina (Friday)

[Comebakatz3]

 

[Comebakatz3]

7 pitches is all Hjelle needs for the top of the first!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

With that walk, Becker has reached base in all 30 games this season.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

END OF 1st: South Carolina 0, Kentucky 0. Hjelle had 1-2-3 inning in the top half. Cats strand runners at 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Seems like we had a good chance there but Cottam ripped one right at center.

 

[AgesBlue]

Cats had an opportunity to plate a run or two, but Hill is a tough pitcher.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Hjelle looking sharp tonight. 6 men up, 6 men down, heading to bottom of 2nd

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

6 up and 6 down for the Hjelly man !

 

[Jeff Drummond]

‪B2 - #Kentucky 1, South Carolina 0. Trey Dawson RBI single puts Cats in front. ‬

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Pompey RBI single makes it 2-0 Cats.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

‪B2 - Cats pull off double-steal, and SC error makes it 3-0. ‬

 

[Comebakatz3]

3-0 UK!!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Good timely hits by Dawson and Pompey. Then a good time to put pressure on the opposing defense and it pays off.

 

[AgesBlue]

Good inning, putting up a 3 spot !

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Excellent start, let's keep it going!

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Hjelle seems off

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Hes gonna need to rely on his defense staying in front of hits, just not hitting his spots today. Great d guys.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats turn the inning ending DP, lead 3-0 bottom of 3.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

SC starter Hill already up to 70 pitches in the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Wow.

Bases loaded.

Do something here Dawson....

 

[Jeff Drummond]

B3 - Kentucky 4, South Carolina 0. Dawson draws bases-loaded walk.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Wooooo

 

[TheySoSensitive]

3 run double for Pompey. Wooooo

7-0

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Followed by Pompey 3-run double off the wall in RF. Kentucky 7, South Carolina 0. B3

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Man, they've walked us 7 times.

Wow.

Just get the outs, Hjelle.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Top 4th. Hjelle has 2 Ks. No runners on base.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Hjelle strikes out the side in the T4.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Rung em up. UK up 7-0 Hjelle has 5 Ks. Entering bottom of the 4th.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

If UK can put a few more up here you could really break Arkansas following that 3 up 3 down top of the 4th.

Let's go boys.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Hjelle man is dealing, he got his mojo going !

 

[Comebakatz3]

6 earned runs against Adam Hill... love it!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Man, they've walked us 7 times.

Wow.

Just get the outs, Hjelle.

We can kill teams when they walk us... but it seems that we struggle more when we don't get the free passes.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

Leaving the bases loaded ain't gonna cut it A Rod.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

What a defensive play to end the 5th. Becker fields a ball deep in the hole between first and second, Hjelle comes off the mound to cover and makes a long stretch to record the out. Cats maintain 7-0 lead over Gamecocks.

 

[AgesBlue]

BECKER with a defensive gem, also Hjelle was johnny on the spot covering 1st base !

 

[Jeff Drummond]

B5 - Kentucky 8, South Carolina 0. Squires infield hit, Dawson gets caught in rundown, but scores to extend the lead.

 

[Old_Red]

Squires had a good at bat and then a bonehead base running error.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Hjelle is dealing tonight: 1-2-3 6th

6 IP, 2H, 0 BB, 8 K

 

[Old_Red]

Two players back to back with no official at bats coming to the 4th time through the order. Can't remember seeing that.

We're talking about that in the press box right now. Crazy.
