Aklinski draws a walk but otherwise UK goes quietly.

On another note, I think camo baseball hats look silly. Ok to wear them as a tribute (which Bama may be doing?) but making them a regular thing irks me.

Bama pitcher now getting a very favorable strike zone.

UK got the first two on with a single and then an error on a double play ball. Collett tries to bunt then over (WHY!?!?!) and Cottam strikes out before Dawson bloops one to center for an RBI single!!

1-0

Bama pitcher is throwing a lot of pitches that look great to hit. Helps he gets the extended strikeout on Cottam and the 3 bunt out on Collett

How the heck do you bunt with Collett with 2 strikes when 1 swing of the bat can produced 3 runs. Just dumb!

Hjelle with the K ... bama returns the favor leaves one on the bases at 3rd..

Becker play probably saved a run.

Nice play by Becker. Saved a run. 'Cats are going to have to get the bats going, with a 2-run deficit to make up.

Ground out to first. Top of the lineup seems like they are struggling.

Another base hit for bama

This is a game we have to have. We should sweep Bama but we certainly can't lose the series. Losing today would be a terrible start. Of course, it's still somewhat early, but it kind of feels like one of those games.
