Villanova at Arkansas- Game 2

[ups_hog]

Bottom 6th

Reynolds lays down a bunt and he's easily safe, but Nova threw it away just to make sure.

Ficociello at the plate.  The pitcher throws over to first, it gets away (again) and Reynolds advances to 2nd.  Rick thinks someone should get the first baseman a new glove. 

Ficociello walks after a lengthy at bat.  That's 2 walks for Fic on 3-2 pitches after falling behind in the count.  Runners on 1st and 2nd. 

Pitching change for Nova.  New guys is sophomore lefty Matt Meurer. 

Bates absolutely crushes one over the wall, bullpen, and everything in right for a 3 run bomb!  He hammered that one.   11-1 Hogs!

Bosco grounds out to 2nd.  1 down.

Vinson flies out to center.  2 outs.

Morris gets plunked.

Reeves with a single into left.  Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Carver flies out to deep left center.  Inning over.

11-1 Hogs after 6.

Bottom 7th

New pitcher for Nova is senior righty Julian Diaz. He's a submariner.  Nova also has switched first baseman, presumably to patch the giant hole in the other guy's glove.

Bigham flies out. 1 down.

Reynolds singles deep into the hole at short.  Brian Anderson will pinch run for Reynolds.

Ficociello draws another walk.  1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Bates rips a single into right, and Reynolds scores! 12-1 Hogs.  That's already the 7th RBI for Bates this season.  Runners on the corners.

Serrano pinch running for Bates and he'll stay in the game to play right field.

Bosco flies out to left and Ficociello tags up and scores. 13-1 Hogs.  2 outs.

Vinson flies out to left.  Inning over.

Hogs lead 13-1 after 7.

Top 8th

New pitcher for the Hogs is junior lefty Ty Wright.  He's a Juco transfer from Texas.  Lots of defensive changes for the Hogs, which you don't care about at this point.

Fleishman flies out to Bleeker in right.  1 down.

Jones K's swinging.  2 outs.

Bochicchio (hitting for Wager) grounds out to 3rd.  Inning over.  Nice debut by Wright.

Bleeker draws a leadoff walk. 

Reeves flies out to short.  1 down.

Masters pops up to the 3rd baseman.  2 outs.

Mahan (hitting for Bigham) singles up the middle.  Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Anderson gets hit by the pitch.  Bases loaded for Ficociello, still looking for his first hit.

Ficociello K's swinging.  Inning over. 

Hogs lead 13-1 after 8.

Top 9th

Freshman righty Chris Oliver will make his Razorback debut and try to close it out.  Oliver is from Farmington, AR and went to Shiloh Christian.  I assume he was recruited to play baseball there.

Nelson doubles into right.

Carr K's looking. 1 out.

Clark at the plate.  Ball gets away from Reeves and Nelson advances to 3rd.

My God this game is dragging. 

Clark K's looking.  2 outs.

Calbi flies out to shallow right.  Game over!

Hogs win 13-1!  Game three is tomorrow afternoon at 1:05.

How about some highlights?

[HogNrock]

Bless their hearts, Villanova is just not good.  Their 1B and C seem to have trouble with catching the ball.  Tough to tell what we have just yet.  Thanks for the PBP and highlights.
