If nothing else it’s good to see Burroughs scramble things up. Hopefully the Dawgs will play some inspired baseball today.

Arkansas answers in the 2nd with a double, advance on a fly ball, and an error on McLeod (originally scored a single). Tech 3-1 after 2.
That makes 14 of 15 games that Tech opponents have opened their scoring in the 1st inning (9 times) or in the 2nd inning after not scoring in the 1st (5 times).
Arkansas ties it 3-3 in the 3rd on a leadoff double and fly ball HR to right center.
Tomkins warming up.
Walk and another 2-run HR off Smith to make it 5-3 Arkansas.
Another failure by Tech starting pitching.
After several loud strikes followed by a triple, the hook comes out for Smith after just 2.2 innings. 5 hits allowed (2 doubles, a triple, 2 HR).
Tomkins in and he can't find the plate (7 balls before a strike). Three straight walks makes it 6-3 Arkansas. 8-3 Arkansas after the fourth and fifth walks. Way too slow a hook here.
23 pitches and 20 balls.
Harland in.
10-3 on the first single of the game for Arkansas.
10-3 Arkansas after 4.
Seeing our pitching woes makes me really appreciate Kyle and Cade. Maybe it’s my selective memory, but those 2 seemed to succeed more often than they struggled.
It’s even worse than I expected.
No fight at the plate. 10 straight batters for Tech retired after getting the 3-0 lead.
Knight in to pitch the 5tth wearing a protective mask. Wondered why he hadn't worked recently.
Embarrassing weekend performance.
Does this group just lack leadership? I find it hard to accept that this group is any less talented because when they are good, they are actually great. Our coaching hasn’t and won’t change. It has to be the lack of urgency and fire from the dugout.
10-6 Arkansas in the 6th after two errors set up an Evans 3-run bomb to left.
Have to question why Evans wasn't playing from day 1.
Matulia's stiff neck actually might be a huge plus in the long run because Evans doesn't see the field otherwise.
Nobody can replace Taylor Young on the field, and apparently that extends to the clubhouse too. Somebody has to step up and lead. And fast.Originally Posted by techman05
Williams to pitch the 6th.
I agree about Taylor being a special talent and consistent contributor. I just didn’t see us struggling this badly with this group.
Williams retries Arkansas in order in the 6th. Still 10-6.
This stupid announcer is killing me saying Cordona. He did it all day yesterday
Nice move LB��
