***CWS Opener: Texas vs Arkansas***

[Jameson McCausland]

Fletcher- Unassisted groundout to first base

3-2 Arkansas after 5

 

[Jameson McCausland]

New pitcher for Arkansas: RHP Barrett Loseke

Kingham's mistakes are hurting him.  Arky making him pay for them.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Top 6

Clemens- Line drive single into RCF

Zubia- Gets ahead 2-0 and the pitching coach will make his way out to the mound. Zubia grounds a ball to the SS, who steps on second for the force, but his throw to first sails into the dugout. Zubia moves up to 2nd.

Petrinsky- Flyout to LF

McKenzie- Flyout to RF

3 outs

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Bottom 6

Shaddy- Single up the middle

Gates- Opposite field single into LF

David Pierce out of the dugout and will make a change. Parker Joe Robinson will be the new pitcher

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Koch- Walk

Bases loaded with nobody out

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Biggers- Walk

4-2 Arkansas and David Pierce will make another pitching change. Josh Sawyer enters for Robinson

 

[joeywa]

Not looking good for the good-guys.  PJ didn't have it.  Walks two.  Ugh.

Let's see if Sawyer can step up on the big stage here. 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Word in the press box is we could be in for a rain delay here in the next 10-15 minutes

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Cole- Walk

5-2 Arkansas

 

[Jameson McCausland]

A storm is coming and the tarp is rolled out. The delay will be at least 30 minutes, but probably more.

Had I been the coach, given Kingham’s history, I would have had someone ready to go earlier. When Kingham goes downhill, he goes down fast and he simply cannot hold until someone gets ready. 

However, until Kingham tired he pitched really well.  He put it all together, mentally and physically. 

Kingham did his job. 

Fans are back out, but it’s going to be a while until the teams can go, I believe. 

Hook em!

 

[joeywa]

Hearing it's raining pretty hard at TDA. 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Although it appears the rain has passed through, we still may be close to 45 minutes from resuming.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

It won't be Josh Sawyer on the mound when the game resumes. Texas will go to the bullpen again

 

[joeywa]

Interesting.  Kam Fields?  Shugart? 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Interesting.  Kam Fields?  Shugart? 

The feeling is they will go with one of those two. I lean towards more Fields considering the situation and Texas trailing.

True, I just don't see putting Shug in there right now, down 4. 

 

[joeywa]

The one thing I do know, this team won't go down without a fight. 

 

[Adferrum]

Any idea when the game will resume?
