Right. Just keep us in it. Bats are going to have to come through big to advance today.

Kubal gets an infield single to deep short. 1 on. 1 out.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Rutledge grounds up the middle. SS fields and tags bag but throws wild to first, so Rutledge get 2nd. 2 out.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Wilson strikes out on a 3-2 pitch. After 3 innings, LSU 2, Bama 0.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Phares yields walk to Clark to lead off top 4th.

 

[Tider in Illinois]

Can't defense walks.
Need to make them put the ball in play in this big ballpark.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Pickoff attempt.....throw get away from 1B. Runner down to 2nd.

That was a lazy defensive play by Bentley. He was way too nonchalant about catching that pickoff throw.

We need to tighten up defensively and on the hill. Can't afford to fall much further behind.

And just as I say that, Matthes makes a critical error. Unreal. That's a couple that he's missed this week.

Phares did just that, but Matthes drops fly ball in right. 2nd and 3rd nobody out. Ouch.

 

[Love the Ping]

Matthes' error just cost us one run. Now the top of LSU's order is up and could make it two unearned runs this inning.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Phares get a grounder to first, no advance by runners for the 1st out.

Then a fly ball to CF, runner tags and scores from 3rd and other runner tags and goes to 3rd.

Strikeout by Phares ends the inning. LSU 3, Bama 0. Mid 4th.

 

[Love the Ping]

Pretty good job of damage control by Phares after two errors.

Down 3-0, gotta start putting some hits together. Our lefties have hit this guy hard (Avila hit, Bentley hit, Odle line out), now the righties need to find it. Good chance to push one across with Avila leading us off this inning.

 

[Tider in Illinois]

Could have been another big inn. by LSU. Good job limiting them to 1 run. We need to keep it close till the bats awaken.

Bottom 4th....Avila loops one into LF.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

May singles to left. 1st and 2nd, no outs.

 

[Tider in Illinois]

Just what we needed

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Bentley flies out to LF. I think we are now 0-4 with runners in scoring position. 1 out.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Matthes lines one just inside LF line. Avila in, runners at 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

 

[Tider in Illinois]

There you go guys.
