Just a few minutes away. UK actually going to go with Justin Lewis in this second game. I suppose that makes sense with it being a double header.

Hopefully Lewis will not continue his trend of being terrible in the first two innings.
Ground out to second to start the bottom 1st.

We need a sports psychologist to understand why we can't get through the first two without giving up runs.
Arkansas hasn't exactly been lighting it up this year. Southern Cal put the clamps on them for the most part in this same park. Hope we can limit them to one run this inning.
Lewis is nasty most the time but early on he will inevitably throw several meat pitches that are almost always hit out. He's given up 5 home runs in 4.1 games.
He got out of the first but UK again behind the 8 ball down 2-0

Heyer looks pretty silly as well. 4 strikeouts for Campbell. Making us look terrible. Not encouraging in our two at bats so far.
Johnson takes a fast ball off the body to get a base runner.
Interesting that Johnson hits with a helmet with no cage but runs with one with a cage.

Cats offensive numbers overall have been very good, but this team strikes out too often (and watches too many strike 3's).
Lewis gets a grounder to Dawson's right but he's got to run too far to get the double. Still, UK gets the runner at second .
With two outs and their red-hot Cole due up next, Lewis walks a batter on 4 straight balls to load bases for Cole. Then throws a wild pitch to score a run and move other runners up.
I'm unimpressed with Squires. Poor at blocking. Throws aren't that strong and at times he's poor framing at the bottom of the strike zone. I feel like his arm was much better a year ago.
Lewis gets a K to get out of it.
This weekend has been a total debacle so far. I can't think of a single positive so far. Let's get some hits boys, come on
Nothing about this game is a positive. Going to let Campbell get out of this easily and he may just dominate us. 36 pitches for him through 3. Not hitting it hard or working counts.
Aklinski needs to be moved down the lineup. Hell... the entire lineup needs changed in my opinion.

I agree, he's got good speed so I understand wanting to get him on base, but he's the second-worst batter in the lineup.
The speed isn't that great. It's okay but not blinding.
Another RBI single. We're going to get dominated in this game.
