OT: UK BatCats winner take all vs NC State

[Cardsstink]

Rain Delay, but It looks like it's on The SEC Network after this Florida game?

 

[ORCAT]

Not raining at all but I guess there might be something heading this way. Everything is precautionary right now. Someone in stands told me they heard game will start at 8:30 but not sure where they got that info. Pretty clear overhead at stadium at the moment.

8:30? Wow. Hour and a half delay. Strange.

Radar looks like some heavy stuff moving in.

 

[ORCAT]

Big bad dark clouds getting closer now with lightning present. They just announced we could leave stadium and reenter with stub. Gonna get nasty I guess.

Heavy winds and dark sky near Keeneland. Get outta there.

 

[ORCAT]

Dumping now. Trying to tell everyone to leave but no one wants to get out and get totally soaked within a few feet. Lots of thunder and lightning too.

Hoping for a whacky night that benefits the Cats. Super Regional would be phenomenal.

You're dumping? Should stay dry in the bathrooms then.

First pitch around 9:20. Gonna be a late one, not sure if I'll stay up for the whole thing or not.

Stay up??? I'm at the game, at least you're warm and dry at home and you're doubting staying up? C'mon, tough it out!

Nice first inning for Logue.

 

[Roe07]

Has a UK team ever made the Super-Regional? I know nothing about the history of the baseball team.

Nope

I am assuming that NCst has played one less game means that they had a bye???

It's double elimination. Their first loss was to UK last night.

 

[Untouchables96]

In 1988 the format was 8 regionals of 6 and the winners advanced to the college world series. UK was one strike away from beating Stanford to advance to it and lost on a walkoff HR and lost the next game 10-2 to be eliminated.

 

[Smashcat]

Early, but NCSU is looking sharper tonight than I expected.

 

[Bigblueincincy]

Damn that ball hung up a little too much.

 

[preacherfan]

It's double elimination. Their first loss was to UK last night.

But even so, NCst is 2-1 and we are 3-1. So, I am assuming a bye for them?

Correct we beat Ohio then lost to NCst the 1st time while NCst beat IU and then beat us so technically they did have a bye because they didn't play until last night when we handed them 1st loss of this region.

Double elimination tournament. NC State beat UK to send UK into the loser bracket. Loser bracket teams plays more games to get back to the championship game and then has to win twice.

 

[preacherfan]

Thanks for the explanations!! I really didn't follow this until last night so had no idea how we got to this.

 

[Roe07]

Cant strand these runners. Gotta score with 2 on and 1 out.

 

[bucslover68]

Score?

 

[Roe07]

Let's go boys!!

 

[Bigblueincincy]

Big hit! 2-2 still 1 out runners on 2nd and 3rd

 

[Bigblueincincy]

3-2 cats on the ground out to 2nd. Runner on 3rd with 2 outs. Top of the order for the cats

 

[Roe07]

Damn, shit gettin heated out there

 

[Bigblueincincy]

Crowd is rocking!

 

[Bigblueincincy]

NC State coach cries about everything!

 

[UK_Is_Good]

This atmosphere looks great. Wish I was there.

 

[ganner918]

Somebody who actually knows baseball, were those two ball calls NC State were pissed about good or bad calls?

They had a pretty good case. Especially on the first one.
