Arkie not doing much with Luke H tonight....top of 4th and down they go.


And from what I've seen in the CWS it won't be long before some team takes the plunge and tries to sign Heimlich despite not drafting him.  Probably once one team

decides their moral and ethical concerns are not so important after all, I expect he would be in a position to conduct an auction.

Could end up with some serious money...not sure if there is any salary limit on free agent players.

Meanwhile, OSU starts the bottom of the fourth with back to back hits....double lost in the sun to LF and then a single to CF....and piggies in big trouble.

Arkie strikes in the top of the 5....got out of a mess in the 4th....funny call on play at 2nd but I did not get to see the replay...but inning ended without the beavers scoring despite a couple hits.

 

Now arkie has back to back hits and one drives in a runner who walked ....and LH looking to be in trouble.....with 81 pitches at this point and some control issues maybe..yep….loaded the bases with a hit batter....

Arkies bring up the top of their order.....

And another hit batter brings in the lead run and leaves bases loaded...….bullpen hustling to get ready.  Typical college game..pitcher cruising and all of a sudden the pitcher can't throw a strike......just amazing....

arkie up 2-1

Slow bounder to 2B who bobbles it, can't get a handle and runner scores and everyone else is safe....E4 and score is 3-0

Heimlich has totally lost it....and he's gone …..with bases loaded and 1-0 count on the batter at the plate....

piggies up 4-1 and left bases loaded....got lots of help from LH and the beavers...only 2 hits but error and a couple hit batters kept things moving along for Arky though the had a chance to totally blow it open....and failed to get a solid two out hit.

T5 was a big inning for the hogs.  Knight is still throwing well and just got a SC Top 10 play from his 1st Baseman.

Talk about dodging bullets....piggies get out of trouble again....a shot to 2B with two runners on....batter hit it right on the nose but 2B made a nice grab to end the inning.     OSU guys can get their bats on the ball...….wonder who their hitting coach is..?

Oregon State catcher got right in his pitcher's face after that last walk......guy was looking great and as before with no warning he loses the strike zone...bases loaded with two outs.....chance for piggies to break it open....again....

Boy, it never looks easy for the piggies….have given up 7 hits and only have 3 themselves but they still have the lead......another OSU runner left on base and that is probably it for Knight....96 pitches and has wiggled off the hook a number of times tonight to keep OSU to just one run.

Top of 7th and piggies still leading 4-1....

This umpire is calling that big hook a strike no matter where it crosses the plate or even if it doesn't cross the plate.  If the catcher catches it on the outside corner at the batters chest, it was not a strike.

Hats off to Blair Knight for a very good outing to finish up his great career at Arkansas. 

Gutty performance tonight....never had an easy inning but hung in there and made clutch pitches when he needed them

Best inning of the night for Arky.....and a tremendous throw from LF nailed the OSU batter trying to stretch a single into a double.    The runner was a dead duck as they say.....

Concerning that play the announcers wouldn't shut up about: Regardless of the call at 2nd, there's no way the OSU runner on 3rd shouldn't have scored. There were three separate moments when he should have gone home and in all likelihood would have been safe, yet there he was still on 3rd when the dust had settled. That's pretty much how OSU played the entire game, just a half-beat from center. Here's hoping they come out on fire tomorrow.

The only pork I like is when it's sizzlin' over the heat!

OK game is under way in the 2nd inning....OSU with three hits already but still 0-0 and Arky at bat in the bottom of the 2nd...Arky being the home team tonight. 

BTW, if you missed, Arky nailed an attempted thief....might have gotten the sign and pitched out and had him by a couple yards to end the inning 

But back to this half of the inning.....Hit batter '(maybe he was HBP) and two runners on and one out.  OSU not seeming to get the benefit of the umps lately....

piggie runner at 2nd is getting a lot of attention from pitcher and catcher....both with attempted pick-offs.....close but no cigar.

Great play by the OSU 3B saved a run.....shot down there along the line .....fielder got the runner at 3rd so still two runners on base and 2 outs now.

OSU pitcher having trouble finding the plate....bases loaded with a walk and behind.2-0 and batter helps him by swinging at ball 3.....and now a wild pitch gets by the catcher and the first piggie run scores without benefit of a hit....

And he ends up walking the hitter and bases are loaded again...has only thrown about 2 strikes in his last 8 or 10 pitches....

Arky leaves the bases full......pop fly to CF ends the inning.....like last night, piggies have not been about to get clutch hits but still manage to push across a gift run to take the lead.

Murphy pitching for arky tonight....thought it might be Campbell but expect he will be ready if needed to close Ii out.  BUT Murphy got 'em 3 up and 3 down pretty easily that inning and has started through the beavers line up the second time which is where something things change for the pitcher...

Still 1-0 ...bottom of 3rd....

Gotta give the piggie fans credit.....they have showed up in mass and it sounds like a home game for them.....
