UK vs. UF Game Thread

[TheRef]

Since we will be playing the winner/loser of this game, figured I would do a game thread for this. First pitch at 4:35 PM CDT is a foul ball.

Austin Cousino walks after an 11-pitch AB. 1 on, no out.

[TheRef]

Florida pitcher may have thrown to 1B to try and hold Cousino more than he has thrown to the plate.

Kuhn hits it straight to the third baseman but he can't handle it. No throw and both runners are safe. 2 on, no out for HR-king A.J. Reed.

Said this in another thread, but fits here as well:

UK is that team you hate to see on your schedule. They seem like they're either really hot or really cold. If hot, they can ruin your day in a hurry. But because they go cold so often, they're not ranked high enough to make wins against them as good as they should be if you beat them when they are hot.

And if they are hot and beat you, the loss can look a little worse than it should.

[TheRef]

Sorry about that, guys. Computer decided it needed to restart. Shouldn't have any more interruptions. Currently it's bottom 2nd UK still leads 2-0 but UF has a runner on second with no outs.
