Fant sent packing....
Gabe up 5 and only got 2 outs. His defense isn’t helping him much either.
On the plus side for the piggies...
…Fant will be available tomorrow!

Solid start
5 runs in the top of the first, already chased out the starter. I like this.

Is there a gamecast type of deal anywhere?
Work internet doesn’t support ESPN3.

is anyone actually watching the game?
Kilcrease just got strikeout #6, sounds like he’s just mowing em down. I want to hear how he looks.

I am
And he is DEALING. He’s given up a couple of hits but has pitched around them. His curve has a great bite and his fast ball is sitting on about 90.

Awesome
I’ll try not to jinx us, but when he’s feeling it we’re tough to beat. Keep it up Peanut.

I know it's a 9:30 game
And I know it’s Arky and not AU, MSU, or LSU, but I’m kinda disappointed in the attendance. Crowd doesn’t look very big at all.

Hoover is a pretty big stadium
I think it is a pretty good crowd for this time of day.
the winner of this game plays at 4:30 tomorrow
I bet it’ll be packed if we win today, although it is supposed to rain.

Great throw by Bennett
to get the runner and Peanut with another K to end the inning.

Not sure why that post re-did itself
Arky plates 3 in the 5th. Bama up 6-3 going to the 6th. Time to score some more runs!

Nice call! There you go. Finally found it on AM too.

Dugas goes yard to add one in the 6th.
7-3 Bama after 5 1/2

Arky gets a leadoff double
and 2 sac flies to cut the lead to 7-4 going into the 7th.

DAMN!
That was a brutal line-drive double play to end the top of the 7th. Still 7-4. Bottom of 7th now.

That may have been his best inning yet
3u3d with a K and two weak line drives. Looks like he regained his balance after a couple of shaky innings. Who knows how long CMG will go with him. If he can throw a CG in the first game of the tourney, that REALLY helps us out the rest of the way.

Game is moving along at a nice pace.

Stewart just about had his head taken off by a foul. Funny to hear it on the radio.

I miss hearing Stewart
Always thought he did a good job calling baseball. On another note…Peanut just tied his record with his 10th K in that inning.

He is very good, IMHO. I really enjoy him during basketball.

No luck for us

Bottom of 9th
Peanut out after 113 pitches. Smart on to close against the bottom of Arky’s order. Still 7-4. Smart just got a pop-up for the first out.

Really, really big win.
If somehow we can win one more at this tourney I do think we have a shot at getting an NCAA bid which for this group wpuld be huge.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
