Baseball vs Kentucky

[SaltyTiger 6,069]

Apparent extended weather delay. Postponed until tomorrow at 1:00 CST. Double header with game two 40 minutes after game 1. Oh well, already had a few beers on ice stolen from Marriot Grand National.

[SaltyTiger 6,069]

Hate to a schedule change on road trips. Hopefully not battling weather this series.

Thanks for the info. Forgot the game was tonight. Hopefully we'll be able to play all 3.

Storms are isolated but have been nasty little boogers, including hail and rotation.  Best that they postponed.  Tomorrow is clear so both games tomorrow will be good and only 40%chance on Saturday.  Higher chances on Sunday so need to get it in before that.

Reports of up to 3"of hail in Lexington yesterday (baseball size ironic enough)

Sounds like batting practice to me...

I’m an AU alum and current UK doctoral student.  I’m so excited I finally get to watch an AU baseball game in person after years and years of not living in Auburn!

[tgrogan21 6,197]

Moore grounds out.

DiChiara walks! Rambusch walks! Peirce singles to load the bases.

Carlson and Howell both strike out. Disappointing to not get any runs there.

Barnett gets a lead off k. Walks the next batter. Fielder's choice to the next. And then gives up a double. Run scores.

And he walks the batter after. Another game that's looking like we'll have to go 6-8 innings in our bullpen.

1-0 Kentucky runner on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.

 

[tgrogan21 6,197]

Strike out looking to get out of the danger with minimal damage.

1-0 Kentucky T2nd

[tgrogan21 6,197]

Farquhar gets a 2 out walk but nothing else for Auburn. 
 

Kentucky gets a lead off single and a 2 out bunt single and another run scores  

2-0 Kentucky T3rd
