The House of Blue

Also, as little sense as it seems to make this is an elimination game. Winner to the championship game, loser heads home.

Solid first inning from Littrell, with only a 2-out walk to blemish the frame. Cats coming to bat in bottom 1st

UK gets a runner to 2B on a 2-base error, but Maile and Reed strike out to end the bottom 1st. 0-0 headed to the 2nd.

Miss. State leads 1-0 after a golf shot dumped into RF, SAC bunt and single up the middle

Littrell tightens up, gets out of the 2nd with only the 1 run allowed; Miss. State 1, UK 0; B-2nd

Riddle's homer and Lucas Witt's single up the middle followed 3 straight K's by Pollorena. MSU coach John Cohen to the mound to talk.

Miss. State applies the pressure again with another leadoff single, SAC bunt, SAC fly and two-out sinking liner to CF that plates a run; MSU 2, UK 1; B-3rd

Cousino showed nice patience in that AB

Cousino steals 2B, but it was a bang-bang play; Then McCarthy scalds a ball that hits Cousino in leg, which means he's out. Tough break. This after McCarthy missed what would have likely been RBI double by inches down RF line.

Gary Henderson said during in-game interview he wanted Littrell to get pitches down. Did better job in 4th; MSU 2, UK 1; B-4th

Another leadoff single and SAC bunt to move runner to 2B for MSU. That's how Bulldogs have scored both of their other runs too.

Cats get 2-out single by McCarthy and walk by Maile; Runners on 1st/2nd; State bringing in lefty to face lefty hitting AJ Reed in B-5th
