Western Michigan at UK

UK looking to take advantage of a bad bullpen again, but they'll only get the 2. 12-6 going to the 8th
 
12-7 after a Plastiak base hit into center. Runners still at the corners.
 
Felker hits for Fogel and he delivers to make it 12-8.

Hazelwood warming up for UK.

Broncos have no one warming. Crazy
 
Two run double off the glove of a diving left fielder. Looked like that should have been caught. Didn't get there very fast.

12-11 Broncos finally going to the bullpen. Their coach is bad
 
Wow. Anu got picked off at third. They faked to first and then threw to third and picked off Anu.
 
So we go to the 9th with UK down 12-11.

Cats had a chance to tie with Liebert at the plate but they get picked off at third instead.
 
We go to the 9th with UK trailing 12-11.

8, 9, 1 due up. Liebert, Thrasher and Ritter.
 
Liebert goes down swinging. Thrasher grounds out to the pitcher. Ritter base hit into the alley for a two strike single.
 
That ball was supposed to be outside and it ran high and over the middle and Ritter poked it past second into center.

Jump 2-2 count. Then he fouls one off before looking at a ball to get a full count. This is a huge at bat. Plastiak has been hot. Foul ball resets it. Another foul as he battles. Pop fly into shallow center and the centerfielder drops the ball. Lol wow. Ritter scores. 12-12
 
More free baseball as Plastiak grounds out to the pitcher.

McCarthy ran for Jump, so he'll take over in left.
 
Harney coming back out. UK has 17 hits in this one. Should end up winning this. Just have a better bullpen.
 
Harney gets them in order. So we go to the bottom of the 10th. Cats with a chance to win this 12-12 game.
 
Felker grounds out to second. Estep up and he pops out to second. Similar spot that Jump popped up to, just on the opposite side of center. Anu grounds out to first. We go to the 10th still tied
 
Headrick sounds tired and like he's ready to go home.

Chopper back to Harney for the first out.

Little liner and Harris works to his left and dives and catches it. Good play by Harris.

Error by Plastiak on a routine throw to first by Harris. Just didn't catch it. They're giving the error to Harris? Haha that's criminal.
 
That error could be costly as it was a routine play and the 9 hole hitter. So this flipped the lineup and adds to Harney's pitch count. Harney did fall behind 3-0 but gets a 3-1 fly or to Mccarthy in right to end the Broncos 11th.
 
Harris lines out to third. Put a good swing on it, but just right at him.

Liebert works a full count. He swings and it's a foul ball in and out of the catcher's mitt. So he stays alive. Walked him. Broncos giving UK back the favor of giving them every chance to win.

Thrasher hit by the pitch. Right off the upper arm.
 
Ritter lines one into right and the right fielder dances around and makes a leaping catch for out 2. Everyone stays put.

McCarthy up. The extended net saves UK as it was possibly catchable in foul territory by first, but it hits the net first. He battles but ends up flying out to right.

Going to the 12th tied at 12
 
Harney still in with 37 pitches thrown. He ends up hitting the leadoff man. Harney might be tired. Ball comes off the turf and hits Liebert in a soft spot, so he's getting a breather.
 
Broncos trying to play small ball and get a bunt down, but he fails as he fouls off two attempts, both were probably balls that he attempted at. He fouls off what could have been ball 4. Just a por at bat here as Harney has a bit of a struggle with his control. He works it back to a full count. Strike three. Then a caught stealing for a em out throw em out.

That was probably another ball 4 on a hanging curve. What a huge turn of events. They're gong to review. Not sure they can change this. Poor decision by the runner to slide feed first and not slide on the outside of the bag.
 
Doyle moves to second on a wild pitch. Strickland burying curves in the dirt and getting swings. Guy isn't seeing it at all and he gets another one for a half swing strikeout.

12 to 12 going to bottom of 12
 
Once again no one warming up in their bullpen. So dumb.

Plastiak full count walk.
 
Cats win 13-12. Felker rolled into a tailormade DP but beat the throw and then Estep singled to move him to third and a throwing error scored him. 4 errors by the Broncos doomed them.
