The House of Blue

Luke Maile ripped a single to LF and then came up grabbing his hamstring. Williams doubles to RCF but Maile stops at 3B. May be hurt?

4-3 on WP... come on JT

Now UK's other catcher, Michael Williams, takes a shot on a pitch in the dirt. His backup is Maile, who is at 1B and already hurting

Phillips works around Roberts' 2-out double to get UK through T-6th trailing 4-3.

It was UK's 7-8-9 hitters in that half-inning but you still have to make an ace you have on ropes work harder than 10 pitches in inning

Phillips strands Miklos at 3B with a fly out to RF. Phillips has retired 9 of last 11 batters. Kent St. 4, UK 3; B-7th

Oops, thought I had updated. Cousino ripped a liner to RF that skipped off top of diving RF glove for a triple. That ended Starn's day. McCarthy grounds out to SS on first pitch but Cousino was off with contact and scores to tie the game at 4.

Henderson is sticking with Alex Phillips to start the 8th but Tim Peterson has been warming for last 2 innings. He's ready if needed.

Roberts does it again. Lines an 0-2 pitch into RCF to score the go-ahead run. He's 5-for-5 with 2 RBI; Kent St. 5, UK 4; T-8th

Why pitch to him?

J.T. Riddle does his job with SAC bunt to move Williams to 2B. Now it's up to ucas Witt and Zac Zellers to bring Williams home w/ tying run

Lucas Witt grounds out to 2B, moving Williams to third. Now it's up to Zellers with 2 outs.

Kent State brings in a lefty to face the lefty hitting Reida. Looks like UK will counter with right-handed pinch hitter Thomas Bernal, who is 8-of-19 on year.
