UK-Arkansas Game 3
- Thread starter STUCKNBIG10
- Start date
Jeff Drummond @JDrumUK 1m1 minute agoKind of indicative of UK's weekend: Reks strikes out on a pitch that hits him in the knee to end 6th inning with 2 runners on base.
Cats get first two men on in the bottom of the seventh with no outs. They then try to bunt Shelby, including an attempt with two strikes, which he fouls off for a K. Lead runner tags on a fly to left leaving runners on first and third for Hairston with two outs. Hairston gets an RBI infield single to score Wilson from third to tie it up. Troy Squires then doubles off the wall in RC to score Mahan from second for a 5-4 win. Whew. Cats avoid a hideous sweep by scoring two with two outs in the bottom of the 7th for a walk-off win.
Glad they avoid the sweep, but they better pick it up and figure it out offensively ASAP if they want to have a good season and make the tournament. Been a bad two weeks for them.

UK wins. The team mobs Squires for his walk off hit. Guess they forgot the fact that they got extremely lucky not to get swept and played absolutely horrible all weekend.
Well, well, we got a win in game 3, doing it the hard way. Nice comeback, could turn out to be Big in the overall scheme of things !
Never did hearhow Storm Wilson got hurt, Becker I know from the collision at Louisville. But Wilson pinch ran in the 7th.
I believe we have Miami and Dayton on Tues. and Wed. we need to get our groove back and get 2 mid-week wins. Next weekend is at Auburn.

Wilson has a hyper extended thumb on his right hand and couldn't the bat. Able to run but not hit.
I wonder how long he and Becker will be out ? Hopefully they both get back soon ! Also, I wonder about Recks.
I found something interesting looking at the season stats, Doc Hairston has 4 HR's in only 56 at bats. Compare to Shelby, Mahan, and McNeil who all have 140 plus at bats. Maybe he can be our late season spark, who helps get us to the Ncaa tournament.
He is a career .300 hitter, always has swung the bat pretty good. He for whatever reason, has not gotten as many ABs as some others. The Cats need to get healthy, and take advantage of the good starting pitching we have gotten the last 3 SEC series.
Just an awful week. Even a win over UL would have softened the blow from this weekend.
Critical to win at least 4 out of 5 next week, as the schedule only gets harder the following week with South Carolina and Ole Miss.
