Wofford follows up the walk with their first hit against Hjelle, a seeing eye grounder to right. Shinn was able to keep the runners to just one though.
SEASON OPENER: UK vs. WOFFORD
- Thread starter Jeff Drummond
- Start date
Double steal for Wofford, but Hjelle man gets a strikeout and is one out away from getting out of this jam.
Double steal for Wofford. First jam of the season for Hjelle with runners on second and third. Now a big strikeout, two down.
Hjelle gets a deep fly to right field to end the threat. Great response by him after that double steal.
END of 4: Kentucky 5, Wofford 0. Hjelle works around a walk, a hit and a pair of stolen bases to keep the Terriers blanked.
Usually 98.1 fm the bull carries UK baseball.
Trey Dawson put a charge into one and had a good bead on it, but it is right at the left fielder. Bad luck on that one.
Too many strikeouts for Kentucky in this one. I think they have 7 after Pompey goes down on a full count.
Becker cranked one hitting lefty and hits it off the yellow part of the wall. It is the first non-home run and extra base hit for UK!

630 WLAP often has it as well. I think I used to always switch between those two on iHeart radio.
Pompey is 1-3 with a HR and 2 SO. That’s acceptable if we can get the bats swinging from the rest of the lineup. But, I agree with too many SO
Newcomer Aklinski with RBI single to drive in Becker, who had doubled off the top of the wall. Kentucky 6, Wofford 0 - T5
Yep, just want to see a few more hits that aren't home runs. Of course, they get two of those this inning and add a run, so that is very good.
Collette still seems to be pressing it a bit. He is making contact, but it isn't that hard. Still, it is a positive that he's getting the bat on the ball.
Might be the end of the day for the Wofford pitcher. Adam Scott is his name.
Shinn showing the glove on a dying quail that he somewhat shoelaces to get the third out. Very short and efficient inning for Hjelle.

I’ll take 54 from him all day. We know he can throw 115 on short notice, but, keep his pitch count low and our fridays won’t be as stressful
End of 5: Kentucky 6, Wofford 0. Three up, three down for Hjelle. He's allowed one hit, one walk and struck out three in his 2018 debut.
Have the remember it is still just game one and we have been facing a pitcher known best for striking guys out. I think we will see a lot of improvement in that area.
May have to do with Flash. Some devices don't handle it well (or at all).
Freshman Schwaner now coming on to pitch for Wofford. Scott leaves with 6 runs on 5 hits, all of the earned.
I am watching on my phone because I couldn't get it to stream on my TV or chrome book.
I agree and I’m telling myself that as well. But, we have seen teams continue swinging for the fences. Coach will get it worked out, first day jitters and our boys have done well minus the SO
Cottam with a single off the glove of the diving third baseman.
Ryan Johnson now coming in for Shinn.

I don't think it is a huge deal either way. We've just got to find something to complain about.
Johnson got under it and popped it up. Swing looked pretty good though. Squires again squares to bunt and bunts it right back to the pitcher to move the runner. Not sure I like that call there.
Whew, I thought the Wofford left fielder might have hurt his knee on a sliding attempt to grab a Heyer foul ball. The foul territory in this stadium is pretty big. Heyer got rung up on a nasty off speed pitch that hit the corner.
