All right, we'll use yours I guess.
First time this weekend I will be listening to basketball instead of baseball. Still watching both.

I started mine first. 56 minutes ago. Thought sure my IT help would keep me from getting to post, but finished (with him doing nothing but telling me all would be ok - great).
He's getting that inside corner. He'll live there.
UK facing a guy with a 7.20 ERA. That is a big change.

Single off the right field wall puts them at the corners.
Lewis always struggles in either the first or the second. Never fails.

Texas Tech's McMillon touches them all, a 3-run homer to RCF that gives the Red Raiders an early lead here in T2. Cats will have to play from behind once again but hasn't been a problem all weekend.
yikes, that guy murdered the ball. pretty terrible pitch by Lew. Come on boys, let's limit the damage.
So... what, if anything, can be done to help Lewis get through the first two? How do you fix that? It seems like it's basically automatic.
Still in a spot with another walk and then a dying quail single to left. Holt now up and he pops out to third. Huge out.
Good grief, that should have been strike 3. Now bases loaded. That call could loom large. The crowd is pissed off.
Basketball team looking great. Knock on wood.
Lewis throws a gorgeous changeup and doesn't get the call on a full count. That thing had the hitter crossed up and was just nasty. Should be out of this. Lewis not getting the strike zone he was earlier.

The home plate umpire is hosing Lewis. That last walk was a strike out.
Justin Lewis escapes bases-loaded jam without further damage after the 3-run HR. UK pitchers have really worked around potential disaster in this series. It's been a big key.
Excellent pitch, royal screw job. Luckily, he got the next guy looking.
Man...baseball gods don't like us so far today. Everything right at someone. Becker the last victim.
END OF 2: Texas Tech 3, Kentucky 0. Red Raiders starter Sublette has a funky delivery, and it's helping keep Cats off-balance early today.
Mingione rips into home plate umpire after call goes against UK’s Heyer. Justin Lewis has been squeezed hard so far, so standing up for his guy. Tells ump he’s going to make him throw him out if it doesn’t change. Crowd goes nuts.
Dear Lord we're screwed if this guy is going to give them that pitch! Never hit the zone at all and they got it again. Hell.
That pitch is just not hittable. At the shins at outside. And a straight pitch with no movement.
Here we go. Dawson goes up 3-0 before getting a strike at the knees and then walks. Runners on second and first. Johnson singled.
One out.
One out.
Troy Squires comes up big again, 2-run double down the RF line to cut the deficit to 3-2, B3. He had 4 hits and 4 RBI last night.
Squires down the right field line!! Dawson and Johnson score!!!! Squires is beating with runners on. Great double and probably could have tried for 3.
Tech going to Killian. This kid has good stuff. 0.00 ERA with 11 strikeouts to just 2 walks in something like 10 innings pitched.
