UK vs Vanderbilt - Friday evening

[Old_Red]

Just noticed that no one had started this. Probably someone will beat me to it. Sean Hjelle starting out very smooth.

 

[Old_Red]

6 straight batters for Hjelle. Now can we do more than a walk in the bottom of the 2nd.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

5 SO's thru 2 inning for Hjelle

 

[Old_Red]

Big inning brewing in the bottom. Bases still loaded, no outs, and Squires with an RBI via HBP so one run in.

 

[Derek Terry]

Really a good chance for UK to put some distance on Vandy early in the game. Three runs across, bases still loaded for Reks with one out.

 

[Derek Terry]

Cats finish the inning with five runs.

 

[Old_Red]

I counted 48 pitches on Raby though 2 innings. This could allow us to get into their bullpen early in the first game.

 

[Old_Red]

42 pitches by Hjelle through 3.

 

[Old_Red]

26 pitches in the bottom of the 3rd. 2 more runs with two sacrifice squeeze plays.

 

[Old_Red]

8 pitch top of the 4th. I like the way this is going for the weekend.

 

[Old_Red]

20 pitch bottom of the 4th but can't get Evan White in. I was kind of hoping for a few more batters in that inning to drive Raby out in the 4th. At 94 pitches through 4, he is getting close to being done.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Hjelle dominating this game

 

[teach them linear]

Don't say it but gotta watch it. Go Sean!

 

[Old_Red]

Raby makes it through the bottom of the 5th so no big advantage to the Kentucky staff on this game.

 

[Old_Red]

Hjelle might not make it out of the top of the 6th. Two straight hits to start the inning.

 

[Old_Red]

Season high runs scored against for Raby. Nice start for the weekend. Bottom of the 6th sees a reliever.

 

[Comebakatz3]

7 to 1 in the bottom of the 6th. Hjelle doesn't have an amazing Era because of a few bad innings here and there, but he's pitched pretty darn well on Friday nights as a whole. The Era does not tell the tale.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Lost his no hitter in the 6th, gave up a run, but Pompey and Heady with 2 defensive gems !

 

[Old_Red]

Stover came in with an ERA of over 7. Is Vandy conceding the first game?

 

[Old_Red]

How about that? Pompey hits a 3 run HR.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

How about that? Pompey hits a 3 run HR.

Yep, a 3 run bomb on a 3-0 count. Cats up 10-1, good response to the Vandy run.

 

[Old_Red]

Seems like the Cats are in cruise mode, not pushing Stover. It would be nice to get more into the bullpen. Hjelle is done in the 8th.

 

[Old_Red]

They're going to get 3 innings out of Stover. We really didn't do what we could have to use up Vanderbilt's bullpen. Could come back to bite us in this series.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Cats still lead 10-3 going to the 9th, lets go 3 more outs !

 

[Old_Red]

Raby had 6 ER all season and he got 6 of those in 5 innings tonight. He went from a 1.40 ERA to a 2.76 ERA. Knocked him out of the top 10 in the SEC. Would have been nice to continue to pound their pitching.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Victory is ours!

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

CATS win, CATS win, CATS win, now are 20-7 on the season 6-1 in the SEC !!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Have to love Friday night wins in the SEC. Two games to get one and win the series. Very encouraging that we swung the bats that well.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Guys don't want to get too excited, but these guys look really good

 

[BigBlueFan1963]

CATS win, CATS win, CATS win, now are 20-7 on the season 6-1 in the SEC !!

Anyone know when they're scheduled to be on tv again?

 

[law1127]

Why are we listed in second place in the East Division of the SEC,when we have the best record at 6-1?

You can't look at the schedule at UKathletics as it has a place for it but it always says "not available". If you go by the 2017 baseball media guide (make sure to go to page 6 which Adobe Reader says is page 8), it will be April 15, 16, and 18 on the SEC network.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Here's my favorite thing so far... in 7 games we're still hitting. 320 in SEC play.

Saw that on SEC page, just a goof up, we have a better record than USC in both SEC and regular season !
