UK vs Vandy ( Thur. )

[Comebakatz3]

Hjelle gets a swinging strikeout to end the inning. He's around 60 pitches. UK needs a biggie inning.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cottam finally gives UK a base hit!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Jeff Head has a big time outside strike zone.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Becker hits it hard but it's a fly out, the first hit in the air for UK.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heyer grounds one to third and they get a fielder's choice to second for out two. Third base is busy.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Squires is due. Would be huge for him to get something here. Would love to see him turn on one.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Instead, he grounds out to short to end the UK half of 4.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Headrick says a lot of SEC scores would favor UK if we win tonight. Not sure why he thinks that...

 

[Comebakatz3]

Have to wonder how much not getting BP today hurts us in this game?


Hjelle finally gets a quick clean inning!!!

 

[Jeff Drummond]

8 Ks thru 4 for Hjelle.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Hjelle really settling in now.

 

[Comebakatz3]

11 freaking ground outs. 11. Unreal.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Vandy is 9-15 away from this stadium.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Double to gap scores another run. Down 2-0 with no outs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another hit scores another run for Vandy. This one goes to right. 3-0.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Lewis doesn't need to be playing right. Not hitting and looks terrible out there.

 

[Comebakatz3]

4-0. Line drive into right and Lewis slips and it goes as a triple with one out.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Can't dig this hole any deeper. UK can easily get out of a 4-run deficit, but the bleeding has to stop NOW.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Technically goes as a double and an error. Lewis shouldn't play outfield anymore.

Hazelwood up in the pen.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Very bad inning for Hjelle. Still, it's just four runs and the offense has given him nothing.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

END OF 5: Vandy 4, Kentucky 0. Cats have only 1 hit heading into the 6th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Unreal how far outside Head is giving strikes to Fellows.

 

[Comebakatz3]

More ground outs and UK hasn't had a decent threat all game long. I'm so frustrated with the bad breaks that we seem to be having to deal with.

 

[Old_Red]

Auburn is winning so we better get with it on offense.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hjelle back out because he simply has to be with this short bullpen.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Headrick just laughing about the asinine strikezone of Jeff Head.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Headrick all over Cats for lack of focus.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Headrick just laughing about the asinine strikezone of Jeff Head.

Heard that, too. All he could do was chuckle. Apparently strike call vs. Vandy hitter was WAY up and in only a couple of pitches after Hjelle put one right down the chute for a ball.

 

[Old_Red]

Another error on Kentucky pitchers....

 

[Comebakatz3]

What the hell are we doing? We give up a 1 out walk with someone on third and we then allow them a delayed steal to take away the double play. So dumb!

 

[sluggercatfan]

Good grief this is ugly and very disturbing!!!!! If they let this guy go the distance because of low pitch count we will get shut out...Belanger needs to get off his ass and pull Hjelle. He has done all he can do. We are not going too score any runs!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heard that, too. All he could do was chuckle. Apparently strike call vs. Vandy hitter was WAY up and in only a couple of pitches after Hjelle put one right down the chute for a ball.

Two in a row right down the middle for balls.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Auburn is winning so we better get with it on offense.

Auburn in control in the sixth 8-4.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

END OF 6: Vandy 4, Kentucky 0. That will likely do it for Hjelle, who, at 123 pitches, went 6 IP, 4 R, 8 H, 3 BB, 9K

 

[Comebakatz3]

Whew... got out of that jam without giving up a run and Hjelle gutted out another inning!

 

[Old_Red]

We have twice as many errors as hits one of the biggest games of the year.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Squires singles with 2 puts! We've grounded out 15 times.

 

[Old_Red]

Marshall comes in and walks the lead off.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Everyone who needed to win tonight and this weekend is doing it... except us.

 

[Old_Red]

Man is the strike zone for Kentucky pitchers small.
