Kentucky vs Oakland - game 2
- Thread starter Old_Red
- Start date
Sorry... Started at 5:30 probably. It is now the bottom of the 2nd and we are down 1-0. Went 123 in the first inning.
Walks Schultz in 4 so I guess he's either distracted by Shelby or went to the same party that our team went to. Two on, no outs. Double steal but Schultz gets caught. Collett singles up the middle on a mistake pitch, scores Shelby. 2-1 Kentucky. The give the error to the 3rd baseman on a hard hit from Harmon. Passed ball puts us at 2nd and 3rd. Hits Rhodes to load the bases, still only one out. I thought we just knocked the starter out in the bottom of the third but they eave him in. Holen gets an infield hit to short. The throw was off. Collett scores. 3-1 Still bases loaded and one out. Zeke Lewis singles to right. Another mistake pitch scores two and we have Holen on third. Grace singles up the middle on a high fastball, scores two. 7-1
Driving out the starter Nolen finally. Oakland committed a Mingione, keeping in the starter too long. We have Grace at first with one out. Estep up and singles to right, moving Grace to third. Estep steals second, well they call it defensive indifference. Shelby hit ti hard to 3rd, knocked down but no play, drives in Grace. 8-1. Schultz plunked to load the bases with one out. Collett doubles and scores 3. Harmon seems to be behind most fastballs. Pops up for about the 3rd time today. Two outs. Rhodes singles to left and scores Collett. This was a very solid sing. Holen up again strikes out swinging after not swinging on a ball up and over the middle. Probably should have swung at the one. An 11 run inning puts the Cats up 12-1.

Lewis grounds out to first. Grace hits a ball that the SS goes deep to get but can't make the throw. Estep bounced a ball down right field line where the pitcher tries to do a swipe tag. Called safe. The replay appears to show that he didn't get him but the review goes against Kentucky. Two outs and Grace on 2nd. Shelby strikes out. He swung at a change up for strike two and almost lost his helmet. He lost it on a double earlier. Must have sized the helmet before he cut his hair.
Ramsey comes out in the 5th and covers first to get a ground out to first. Ramsey really seems to like a big lead. He's pitching really well. Got a ground out to 2nd. Estep gets an error on the throw to first. A high chopper that Lewis sprints to field and bounces a hard throw to Collett. That was a good pick up. Ends the top of the fifth.
They walk Schultz to lead off the bottom of the 5th. Collett flies out to left. Harmon takes a called 3rd strike on a change up. Pitchers seem to have his number now. Rhodes spanks a nice single through the infield past 3rd. Holen pops up the SS to end the inning.
Lockhart in for Ramsey. Only 81 pitches for Ramsey and was looking good. Seems like they are trying to get the staff more game experience. Braden Daniel makes a nice pick up on a throw from Grace which bounced about a yard from Daniel. Rhodes catches a deep fly about an arm's length from the fence. Grace then made a nice play deep in the hole with a good throw to first to end the top of the 5th.
Lewis up and batting from the left side with another nice single through the right side into right field. Grace pops up to the infield. Estep doubles to center to score Lewis and then is out trying to get a triple. Chasing the third pitcher. Shelby pops up to the fist baseman to end the 6th.
Gambino in for Lockhart to start the 7th. Walks the lead off. Gabriel says we are playing on a 11 run rule so we need to hold them here. 4 pitch walk to the 2nd batter. Gambino must have went to that party with the rest of the pitchers. We've shown control issues all day. Walked the 3rd batter on 4 straight. That is 10 straight balls. Stops at 11 balls and gets a deep fly that score the runner on third on a tag up. Gambino walks the next batter. He's gone and Carson Coleman coming in with the bases loaded and one out.
Carson Coleman comes in and throws three straight balls and then three straight strikes. Then got the final out of the 8th on a fly out to center. We are on a 10 run rule so Kentucky wins 13-2.
