Cats vs EKU tues...
- Thread starter Black Diamond Cat
- Start date
Good news, Ryan Johnson back in RF after being struck in the face down in Houston.
3 up and 3 down for Harper, looked good. We have Jeff Piccoro in the both doing color along with Dick Gabriel, Jeff will add some energy to the broadcast.
Squires leads off with a 2 bagger, but is thrown out on a great play by Colonel RF trying to go to 3rd. 0-0 going to the 2nd.
End of 1: UK 0, EKU 0. Cats got a leadoff hit by Squires but he was erased on nice throw from RF to 3B trying to tag up.
Double by SEC Player of the Week Luke Heyer and a double by Ryan Johnson makes it UK 3, EKU 0 - B2.
End of 2: #Kentucky 5, EKU 0. Should have been an even bigger inning for Cats but Colonels get out of bases-loaded, no-out situation with a K and double-play grounder.
EKU plates 1 run in the T3rd, it is now 5-1 UK. Did anyone else hear them say on the broadcast, that Luke Heyer was the National player of the week ?
Only thing the Cats aren’t doing exceptionally well right now is running the bases. Too many easy outs on base paths. #nitpick
Cats got a runner thrown out at home, and leave 2 more stranded, I thought they were going to answer your rally cry !:smiley:
Harper probably deserved better that inning. I don’t think Johnson read the double or triple very well coming off the bat. Both could have been outs with a good jump.
Kinda stinks to have your 3 hole safety squeezing.
I know order isn’t as big of a deal after the 1st inning or 2, but that gets to me a bit. Guess that’s just me thinking about a traditional 3 hitter tho.

Luke Heyer grand slam has extended Cats' lead to 16-5, B7. He's come off his SEC Player of the Week honor and started working on defending it this week.
From 6-5 in the top of the 6th to 11-5 in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs. That include a strike out by Dawson where he reached on a passed ball by the catcher. Grand slam by Heyer puts him up on Collett for the HR team lead. 16-5 Getting brutal.
Heyer deserves 3 spot. I know some don’t want to rock the boat, I’m sure he is a team player...but he needs as many ABs as possible.
Cats will most likely end up with 15 hits batting .428 for the game with 5 doubles and 3 HR's.
