      McKay made mistakes to Heady and Pompey, and got an infield pop-up and a single out of it. It could have been much worse. Either one of them could have hit a home run.

      The line drive up the middle from Pompey just lacked altitude. He crushed it

      McKay leaves after 108 pitches, and continues his streak, with just one out short of the 8th inning. He leaves to applause from both Louisville and Kentucky fans, as they should.

      Evan White up to face the hard-throwing right-hander Sam Bordner, and he's 0-2 and doesn't look good against him yet. Great stuff coming from the mound. Beautiful pitch off the outside black, called a ball by the umpire, and it's 1-2. Thanks. Ball low, 2-2. Ball a hair low, and it's 3-2. Wow. Umpire could have rung up Evan on either. He's consistently inconsistent, the umpire is.

      Runners on 1st and 2nd will be moving on this pitch. Ball four, bases loaded for Reks.

      Single ties it, most likely, with Pompey on 2nd a pretty swift runner.

      1-1. Now 2-1, with fastball outside. Fouled away, and it's 2-2. Strike 3.

      Top 8
      Kentucky 2
      Louisville 4

      Cats have 8 hits, Cards have 8 hits; difference is that two of the Cards hits were home runs. Bordner looked unhittable there; I was just hoping he'd throw it away, but his control was good.

      Line shot to the center fielder, who is playing about 8 feet away from the 1st base bag wearing a 1st baseman's glove, and he snags it for out # 1.

      Now a real fly ball to the center fielder, and there are two outs.

      2-0 on the 3rd batter, pitch outside called a strike, of course (should be a strike, but it's hit-or-miss today), and it's 2-1. Now 3-1. Ball four, and we walked the #9 hitter.

      1-2 on the leadoff hitter, I won't comment about balls/strikes anymore.

      Chris Machamer is warming up in the UK bullpen.

      Salow with 18 throws to 1st. Not quite, but a lot.

      Double to LF, ball bounces slowly off the fence (it ain't a wall) and relay is high so a run scores, and that might do it. 5-2 Louisville.

      Too worried about runner. Two outs, just get the batter out

      Of course, we walked the # 9 batter with two outs. He's the one that scored. So far.

      Should've stopped at 17.

      Bloop hit scores another run, and it's 6-2.

      Mahan cost the Cats a run there

      We have six outs to score at least four runs. Gi-normous geometric hyperbolic parameter difference between a 2-run deficit with 2 innings remaining, and 4 run deficit (especially when you've only scored 2).

      If Machamer has been warming, I don't know why Salow is still in. He's not as effective, he's pitching to another right-handed hitter (Machamer is right-handed, of course), and there's a slim possibility if we win that Salow could pitch tomorrow after about 35 pitches today.

      Get him out.

      Walks the batter on four pitches. McKay up, now UK goes to Machamer. Of course, this goes to a righty-lefty matchup. We missed the righty-righty matchup a batter ago.

      Sorry to be grumbling.

      Salow, the relief pitcher who threw a ton last weekend, did not allow a hit through 2.1 innings of relief. He's normally a 1-inning closer. (I know he had that long stint in South Carolina, and CAN).

      I actually started to post that Kentucky should pull him after he induced the ground ball to get out of the bases loaded jam he inherited. That way you let him get the key out of the game, arguably, and have him available for tomorrow. You have to rely on others to get you the rest of the way anyway.

    Thanks, Harlow--I corrected it to 22. No idea, of course, and watch 18 be the right answer lol. Anyway, I appreciate the heads up.
