safe on the steal, but not complaining

[WarTiger 3,896]

Martin allows 2 base runners but one caught stealing by Shea and a grounder to 3rd ends the top 1st.   Draper, McCrackin and Shea coming up

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper chops it to the left side, throw just in time.  1 out.  McCrackin up

[WarTiger 3,896]

McCrackin slow roller back to the pitcher.  2 out.s  Shea coming up

It did look like the tag was on the upper chest after the hand reached. That was called since the ball beat the runner on a perfect throw.  

[WarTiger 3,896]

What a terrific play by Justus Perry.  Ball deflects off Martin's ankle and Perry come off the base to field it and dives back to 1st in time to get the out.   Terrific play.

[AUBwins 10,064]

Let's get some hits. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Kentucky gets one hit but nothing else.   Perry,  Veach and Rivera coming up

[WarTiger 3,896]

I missed the first out of the inning.  Perry flies to center. (I also think the batting order posted on twitter is wrong).   That's not the order I have.   Tannon Snow is up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Snow walks with 2 outs.   Rivera up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rivera sharp bouncer to 3rd throw in time to end the inning.  No Score after 2.

My WatchESPN is working fine.  May be your wifi or browser. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Dowell, Podany and Draper coming up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Dowell lines one deep to left and its off the top (literally) of the wall and Dowell slides in at 2nd.   Podany grounds to 3rd.  1 out.   The hit by Dowell hit the top of the wall and appeared (to me) to hit the light poll as well then come back in.   I believe that should have been a home run.

[AUBwins 10,064]

That ball was gone. If a yellow line was on that wall like the majors it is a homer.  Great piece of hitting there.

[BhamCAT 47]

watch espn always works for me, but the lag/hiccups tonight are unlike ever before

Yes it did hit the pole. Dowell got robbed of a home run there.  But, no way for the Umps to see it without replay. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper hard chopper to 3rd. throw in time.  Dowell moves to 3rd with 2 outs.  McCrackin  up

[AUBwins 10,064]

Hope we bring her home so it won't matter.
