The House of Blue

Hopefully the shuffling of the batting order pay dividends. McCarthy entered his senior season as one of, if not the, most reliable returning hitters on the team. UK really needs him to break out of his slump in the near future.

And that's not the only change. Zellers, Flynn, and Williams moving up in the line-up, with AJ Reed dropping back some.

UK *really* needs to take care of business this weekend.

Alabama has lost 6 of last 7 SEC games entering tonight; Also has 3 hitters batting under .200, 2 more under .235

Hearing some stories in the press box about the home plate ump for tonight's game. Apparently, he is widely viewed as the worst ump in the league.

Taylor Rogers gets out of 0-out, runners on corners jam with pop up, then fields own position to start 6-4-3 double play

Rogers strikes out the side in Top 2nd

Alabama coming right back at UK in T-3; single, infield single w/ throwing error by 2B, line drive single up middle; 2-1 UK; 2-on, 1 out. Rogers laboring here in top of 3rd; walks a guy to load bases after having him down 0-2; still 1 out

Kentucky has loaded the bases with nobody out here in B-3rd; cleanup hitter Luke Maile up

Alabama is going to give starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull the hook after 2.2 IP; He was already up to 77 pitches

Quick shutdown inning for Rogers in top 4th; UK 4, Alabama 2; B-4th

Kentucky 4, Alabama 2 through 4 innings

Kentucky has a solid threat snuffed out after pair of leadoff singles; Flyout to CF then hard hit ball right at SS for 6-4-3 DP; UK 4-2, T-6

Another relatively clean inning for Taylor Rogers (6.0 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K). Kentucky leads 4-2 heading to bottom of 6th
