5:15 Logue strands a man at third to end the third. Eicholtz retired nine straight to open the April matchup against UK. He's been tough to this point.
5:10 Bama is all over Logue right now. The Tide already have four hits and have reached on two errors. He's leaving pitches over the heart of the plate and their barreling it up.
4:59 It could have been worse, but it could have been a lot better. Two RBIs by Webb gave Bama a 3-0 lead. Logue got a strikeout and a grounder to short to end the frame.
4:53 RBI walk gives Bama the lead in the second. A blown call at second and two singles loaded the bases with one away. Still only one out with the bases loaded for Hunter Webb.
4:42 Nothing going for the Cats in the first. Two groundouts and a deep drive by Shelby result in three quick outs for Nick Eicholtz.
4:37 Very smooth inning for Logue in the first. Two groundouts to the mound and a slow roller to first on eight pitches in the first inning. White, Reks, Shelby due up in the bottom half.
4:34 Logue gets a groundout to start the game and we are underway.
