Kentucky vs LSU:

Walks first batter on 7 pitches
Gives up single
Fielder's choice leaves runners on the corners (1 out)
**Substitution - R. Mullan comes in for L. Harris**
Brown advances to second
Hitter gets on with what should be second out, but fielding error leads to score
Single loads the bases
Strikes out next hitter (2 outs - would have ended the inning if not for earlier error)
Wild Pitch #1 - Runner on third scores, other runners advance
Wild Pitch #2 - Runners on second and third score
Walk
**Substitution - R. Schwartz to p for R. Mullan.
Batter struck out - End of inning


Auburn vs Alabama:

Walks first batter on 7 pitches
Second hitter reaches on fielder's choice - Out #1
Runner advances to second on stolen base
Hitter walks on four straight pitches, wild pitch during at bat advances runner to third
Wild Pitch #2 - Runner on third scores, runner on first advances
Hitter walks on 5 pitches
**Substitution - Johnston, J. to p for Brewer, G..
Hitter lines out on 3-0 count - Out #2
RBI single for second run
Ground ball - Out #3



Interesting tidbit:
Both innings started off the same - walk the first batter with a 3-2 count (both of which included a foul ball). Both innings had a fielder's choice.

Totals:
Kentucky pitching: 2 hits, 2 walks, 2 wild pitches, 2 strike outs, 3 runs
Auburn pitching: 2 hits, 3 walks, 2 wild pitches, 0 strike outs, 2 runs


I'd say Auburn's was rougher as the error for Kentucky is why those two wild pitches occurred (the inning would be over after the strike out if not for that)

Bases clearing on consecutive wild pitches going in our favor was not on my bingo card.

It was an ugly weekend for Auburn. I didn't expect to sweep you but i also didn't expect to get swept. Congrats.

Bama fans never miss a game when Bama or LSU are playing.

Can you imagine having bet on that occurring?

I can't even fathom the odds of clearing a bases loaded scenario with the batter never leaving the box (except to get out of the way of the runners).

That at least explains Kentucky

Auburn just imploded. I have no illusions that Alabama's pitching staff is among the elite, but the way the Auburn game went (plus the opener against Florida), that's gotta help these guys' confidence. Holding the #5 team in the country to 4 total runs over 3 games is no small feat.

It's amazing how much of your success in baseball is directly attributed to the confidence of the pitcher or batter.

Well, it's way more streaky than other sports (though I think basketball can be similar if a normally good shooter gets nervous and missing their shots).

I think pitching is more impacted than hitting, but it has its place.

A tale as old as time (maybe the late 1800's).

I think it’s Kentucky. You at least expect a spirited game no matter the sport with bama and auburn. Y’all are going to play each other with full effort. We don’t have that with Kentucky. We were down a lot and could have easily given up. If not for the bush league tenneresque behavior of the Kentucky lineup, we likely would have. So thanks Kentucky for lighting the fire that burned the frick out you.

Kentucky sucks at everything.

Even the last Kentucky Derby was won by Arabs.
