Kind of strange that UK baseball twitter hasn't posted a lineup, but we start in about 10 minutes.
Xavier at Kentucky
- Thread starter Comebakatz3
- Start date
Degen to start this. Got a popup to the catcher and then a looking K before giving up a 2 out double down the right field line. Then gives up another hit to give Xavier the first run of the game. Shultz takes a shallow fly to end the inning.
1-0 Xavier.
1-0 Xavier.
UK also picked up an error fielding the ball. It goes to Kessler trying to throw out the runner at home.
I have heard that Hazelwood may be in trouble for violating team rules and that's why we aren't seeing him tonight.
Daniel works a full count and gets a lead off walk.

Shelby strikes out swinging. Just ugly. Swung at something no where close.
Reed also draws a full count. Shelby wasn't patient like the others. Reed draws a walk. 1-1 with 1 out.

Schultz now up and he sees two early strikes, before grounding into a double play 6-3. Ming going to review. He will likely lose this... he usually does.
Call confirmed. UK leading 2-1. I like that we scored, but we got there with 1 hit and we failed to have a big inning and couldn't get any hits with RISP.
Deep fly to right is a fairly loud out one. A line drive to right follows that and UK gets out clean with a strikeout.
Going to bottom of 2 with UK up 2-1.

Hill grounds out to first. ARod quickly went down on strikes. Daniel draws a full count. That's the one positive so far, working the count... he gets a walk. Daniel tries to steal second. It's a pitch out and he is thrown out for the first time this season on his 12th attempt.
Not many other options. Schultz is playing instead of Lewis, who is hitting .190. You could maybe have Macciocchi or Curtis, but we don't have many middle infielders.
Degen thought he had a strikeout but it goes for a walk to start the third. Whoa! UK throws out the runner who steals second and goes past the base. He was safe initially.
Degen showing some wear. Daniels up in the pen. He walked the second batter of the inning as well. Degen gets a grounder to first. Reed goes from first to second and tries to turn it, but it's too late. Fielder's choice for out two. Degen done for the day after walking the third of the inning. Daniels coming in.
Will be interesting to see how long they let Cole Daniels pitch. Not sure he has pitched more than an inning or two.
Cole Daniels has been their designated early inning fireman this year. Seems to get the call whenever opponent gets guys on in the early innings.
Daniel hits the batter. Ming mad and says he leaned in. Didn't think you could review this. Could totally change the inning. Why would you lean in to ball 4?
Yep. He is pretty good at it as well. They just don't use him for long outings.
Terrible call after review. ThT guy totally dove into the pitch. The Ball was almost in the strike zone.
Daniels now coming out. Hmm... not sure I like that. Sounds like they may try to matchup. UK going to Lockhart now.
Lockhart gets a pop up that winds up out of play. Strike three! UK ends the inning with no damage done. That was a long one.
Shinn with a slide in triple! Almost with a home run. Whew. Not sure if they'll give him a triple on that or an error on the bobble.
Collett walks. They were very careful with him. Shelby one pitch one hit and one RBI. 3-1 UK. Runners at one and two.
Grounder for a fielder's choice puts them on the corners with one out. Pitching change for Xavier.
Schultz flies out to center. Pretty loud out. Hill battles and works a full count. He's done well fouling over several pitches, at least two or three before singling up the middle for an RBI. 5-1. Good piece of hitting there.
Hill seems to try to bait the throw to second to try to allow Kessler to score, but they just corral him back to first.
Rodriguez hits a 3 run home run. Wow... ARod... 8-1.

Really good to see Rodrigues hit something. And that was a no doubter.
