UK-Auburn Sunday Doubleheader

[Comebakatz3]

Question as Malley comes in to pitch, is Carson Coleman injured, because he threw a perfect inning down at Arky, and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

They have been oddly careful with him for some reason. I understand that he struggles with giving up walks, but he is nasty and dominant with strikeouts. Seems like they'd use him more when they need a big strikeout but they don't. I really didn't like that they took him out against Arky.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Aklinski pops up to end the inning. This wind is crazy. Short stop ran from his position all the way to right center before the center fielder finally took it.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Machamer on for Cats trying to nail down these last six outs.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Cats going to Mach to get the last 6 outs.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Hazelwood has been a great addition to this bullpen. Like that kid a lot.

Agreed, loved his stuff when he came in with bases loaded.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

1-2-3 for Mach

 

[Comebakatz3]

Mach makes pretty easy work of it. Going to bottom 6.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Agreed, loved his stuff when he came in with bases loaded.

I liked all of it but the pitch he left up. That was a bad pitch that is possibly a home run most other times.

Becker goes down swinging to start the UK 6th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Collett with a string grounder through the right side for a 1 out base hit. Lewis going to run for him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Heyer has left some very good pitches in the zone today. Still, he's got a strong eye and he works a 3-1 count after looking at the first pitch. Full count on a foul ball and he keeps battling. Walked him.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinn going to pinch hit now

 

[Comebakatz3]

Shinn advanced the runners with a ground out to third before Cottam grounds out up the middle. 1-0 going to the last inning.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Tough break on leadoff single for AU. Can O Corn pop up to LF but with wind today Pompey was positioned way over in LCF. It drops.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Pompey is just not a great outfielder. First batter bloops one into left and Pompey doesn't get a good read and it goes for a hit.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Luke Jarvis doubles off the RF wall to tie it at 1-1.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Sac bunt moves the runner. Off the wall in right for the next hit and we're tied.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Auburn takes 2-1 lead on single to RF. Mach catching too much zone here in 7th.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Tapper into right gives Auburn the lead.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Kind of felt like this would happen.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Four of Auburn’s six hits on the day have come here in the last inning.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

Ugh, what a disaster. Really needed Mach to come in and close this out and couldn't do it

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another single to put runners at second and first with one out.

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Auburn executes where UK cannot, Cats have been dissapointing in SEC play for sure !

 

[OldRed]

Boy they have a bead on Machamer.

 

[Drewmagnum]

Gonna need another rally.........

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ugh, what a disaster. Really needed Mach to come in and close this out and couldn't do it

So far this season we've been unable to find a single pitcher that we can fully rely on. Everyone is inconsistent.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

And another run crosses on a smash single to LF. Auburn 3-1

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hanging breaking ball into the corner scores another run. Down 3-1

 

[Tannerdad]

Our pitching sucks. I thought it was going to be our strength

 

[Comebakatz3]

Crazy that they are not going to take him out.

 

[OldRed]

He's leaving things out over the middle of the plate.

 

[Drewmagnum]

Hung the breaking ball.....ahead 1-2. Baseball is a brutal game.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Hung the breaking ball.....ahead 1-2. Baseball is a brutal game.

It's up in counts where we've made those mistakes this year.

Pop up to short for out two.

 

[Jeff Drummond]

Another scorched line drive to center makes it 4-1.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Another single puts UK down 3.

 

[law1127]

We have to find an effective closer! I was hoping Belanger and Ming would develop some pitching , to offset our hitting. My opinion is as bad as the weather has been , it’s affected our pitching in practice and getting warmed up properly.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

This is not a CWS team. Had high hopes after the Houston weekend and then at home against Texas Tech, but no way we can overcome our pitching staff.

 

[Tannerdad]

Is there some reason that kid is still pitching???

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

' Where have you gone Logan Salow, our Cat nation turns it's lonely eyes to you ' ???

 

[Comebakatz3]

Ground out to second ends the threat. UK now down 4-1. Brutal 7th
