Let's play two!

Go Hoosiers!

 

[Stu Jackson]

Back at Cliff Hagan Stadium for this matchup.

Freshman righty Cal Krueger gets the start for IU, freshman lefty Zack Thompson for Kentucky.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Thompson had a career-high 10 strikeouts in six innings against IU back on May 9, a 5-2 Kentucky win in Lexington.

I am settled in for this one on the couch. Love a good chance to take down the Cats, in anything.

Geez, two hits for UK. Maybe I should change the channel. Jinxed it.

Kentucky 1, Indiana 0 heading into B1.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione was irate after that tag out. Not sure what he was upset about. Had a very length, heated conversation with the home plate ump.

Tony Butler solo home run. His fourth of the season.

Sowers with a hit. What a regional for him. Runners on first and second for IU, two outs.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Bottom 1st: IU's Tony Butler hits a leadoff home run off the very first pitch and takes it deep to left. Matt Lloyd strikes out swinging. Luke Miller walks. Craig Dedelow strikes out swinging. Logan Sowers singles to shallow center, advancing Miller to third. Matt Gorski strikes out swinging.

Kentucky 1, Indiana 1 heading into T2.

Sowers is now 7 for 10 in the NCAA tournament after that last hit.

Solo home run for UK's No. 9 hitter. Cats lead 2-1.

 

[Stu Jackson]

This might get ugly in a hurry.

This might get ugly in a hurry.

Indiana's bullpen does not perform very well when playing with a deficit

 

[Stu Jackson]

Top 4th: Mahan grounds out to first. Cottam goes deep to left center for a solo home run. Marshall walks. Carson singles through the right side, advancing Marshall to third. Heady singles to left, scoring Marshall and advancing Carson to second. Pompey walks to load the bases.

Pitching change for IU: Junior lefty B.J. Sabol replaces Krueger.

With Sabol on the mound, White grounds into a double play.

Kentucky 4, Indiana 1 heading into B4.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Game-changing 6-4-3 double play there. Kentucky had a very good chance of blowing this game wide open with the bases loaded.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Bottom 4th: Dedelow strikes out swinging. Sowers strikes out swinging. Gorski grounds out to shortstop.

Still 4-1 Kentucky heading into T5.

 

[mk23]

Hope you're right Stu. Only game changing if we come back. But I'll agree that was damn near a miracle move. Bringing in a lefty against one of only 2 righties? Whatever works, I guess.

Yeah, should've said *potential* game-changing play

 

[Stu Jackson]

Still 4-1 Kentucky heading into B5.

[Jordan Wells]

Rally.

Never mind. Blah.

Playing percentage baseball means zero to this staff. Could've easily been 4-2 with basic baseball smarts.

Why aren't you coaching? Jesus.

 

[RBB89]

Thompson is a stud. That guy is going to have a good career.

 

[mk23]

I'm far from Jesus. Dumbass. But I know baseball.
