UK will be wearing those classy pinstripes.

Not sure about a lineup for the Golden Griffins yet.

No Shelby in lineup. May just want to get Kessler in there. I'll ask and see if I can find out why.

So far, 0-0 through the first. Hill reached on an error and got all the way to third. Shinn also reached and moved over to second, but Reed struck out to end the inning.

Golden Griffins threatening with Thompson giving up a double with one out.

37 pitches for Thompson through 2 IP. Way too high. Gotta get more efficient.

I'd be surprised if they left him out there too long today with temps hovering around 35.

I wondered about that slide into 3rd when he didn't pop right back up. I'm not sure at game speed that anyone is really measuring out how much slide they'll get on the surface.

Whew. Unconventional double play with Lewis snagging a line drive and doubling off the runner at 2nd.

A double steal before Hill strikes out. Collett reaches on an error on second. UK scores 2-1.

They give Collett a hit.

Shinn strikes out and Reed follows him up with another strikeout. Wow. Struck out the side to limit the damags.

Going to the 4th UK down 2-1.

Daniel not reading the ball off the bat well.

Runners at second and third after two singles. 2 outs. Thompson gets a K to end it.
Still 2-1 going to bottom of the 4th.

Arod flies out to left center. Kessler hits one to deep center off the glove of the centerfielder for a double. This pitcher getting hit hard now.

Wow... Cam Hill is super mad as he squares to bunt with 2 strikes and is hit with the pitch. Home gives him first but 3rd base umpire says he offered and calls it strikeout.

You are right, it ain't pretty. Shocked that Cam Hill hasn't hit better !

Feel like it is a mix of some things. Faced all lefties in weekend one. Then he is also asked to bunt with 2 strikes several times and in one game this week he was asked to hit and run 3 times. Just don't think he's really been able to her comfortable and pick out his pitch to hit.
