UK vs UCSB finale ( Sunday ).....

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats go for the sweep today at High Noon. Justin Lewis goes today, he pitched beautifully last Sunday with no win to show for it.
UK has won the 1st 2 games by 1 run each. Cats have scored 5 runs, on 12 hits, and won both games. Also doing it without Evan White getting a hit, 0-5 with a walk. Shows other players can pick it up, which is the sign of a good team !
Here's to another Cat victory today, and a sweep of a top 25 team, something that would look great on a post season resume.

Can we keep the TV broadcast with Flynn and Piecoro?

 

[Comebakatz3]

Evan White ROUND TRIPPER!

 

[Comebakatz3]

White put UK up, which is huge in this series. Lewis pitching very well and has 3 Ks through two innings. Evan White also being extremely versatile and flashing the leather with an amazing scoop at first.

 

[Comebakatz3]

A couple walks and a good sacrifice bunt lead to a 2 out 2 run single for Reks. Kentucky up 3-0 in the bottom of the 2nd with UCSB going to the bullpen. They've really struggled on Sundays.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kevin Chandler coming in for the Gauchos. He has an ERA of 6.00 in just 3 innings of work.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam takes the first pitch into left field and scores another run! 4-0

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam also singles to left and scores Reks who tests the left fielder's arm to put uk up 5 zip

 

[Comebakatz3]

Outstanding two out hitting by uk.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis still working extremely well and efficiently. 5 strikeouts through 9 hitters. Going to the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another new pitcher. May see a lot of these today.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kentucky threatening again in the third. Squires sent one right back up the middle and Heady got hit by a pitch once again.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Sacrifice bunt by Carson and then White flairs one to shallow right but not deep enough to score Squires. Reks skies one to left to end the threat.

 

[Comebakatz3]

No strikeouts for Lewis but he's still pitching clean frames.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another new pitcher for the Gauchos. Going to try to get everyone work in this one.

 

[Old_Red]

Seems like we've broken their spirit today. We are crushing them based on the radio broadcast.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam reaches on an error by the third baseman and then Pompey hits a strong one into center to send Kole to third. They try to pick off Pompey and the ball gets away and Cottam scores. Mahan gets an infield bunt single! Pompey does get picked off trying to be too aggressive. UK up 7-0

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heady gets an RBI single to left center 8-0!

 

[Comebakatz3]

New pitcher for UCSB. Cats are all seeing the ball pretty well today.

 

[Old_Red]

Can they bat around again? Really love the fact that they are getting it done with two outs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heady caught leaning. A big inning, but we have to make sure we don't run ourselves out of innings in the future.

 

[Old_Red]

2nd runner picked off today. That's not good. Will be a good teaching moment this next week,

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis still doing great. 51 pitches through 5 innings. Working efficiently. Thought that the Gauchos had a home run but Pompey caught it at the base of the wall.

 

[Old_Red]

I'm not going to mention it but I am watch the scoreboard with interest as I watch the zeros march on.

 

[Comebakatz3]

I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Comebakatz3]

UK defense doing well to back up their pitcher. Going to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

I'm not going to mention it but I am watch the scoreboard with interest as I watch the zeros march on.

Shush. We see nothing.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats rolling with a 12-0 lead after 6 innings !

 

[Big_Blue_1018]

One thing positive about this weekend. The starting pitching has been fantastic.

 

[Old_Red]

Darn...

 

[Old_Red]

Justin Lewis gives way to Machamer to finish the game. Brilliant pitching by Lewis. The starting pitching was great all three games.

 

[Old_Red]

Machamer struggling... Surely 12 runs is enough of a cushion.

 

[Old_Red]

Twas enough. Great weekend for the Cats. Dominating the final game while sweeping a good team.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

WOW, a sweep of a 2016 CWS team. That should build our self esteem greatly. Out scoring the Gouchos 17-4. Big props to Justin Lewis, 8 innings of 1 hit 1 run baseball with 0 walks and 8 K's.
On to Tuesday and another 2016 NCAA tourney team in Wright State, keep it going Cats !

 

[Comebakatz3]

Man so close to a perfect game for Lewis. Was so fun to watch him work.
