Two Down One to Go

The Rebels have dropped the first two games on the road at Kentucky this weekend. Was not able to watch the game last night due to DotTV not working as it seems to always not work. However I did watch Saturday game, the Rebels never really got runners on base until the eighth inning. In the eighth the bases were loaded with one out. Logan Power took three pitches straight down the middle without taking the bat off his shoulder, followed by Justin Brashear's strike out looking. Down 3-2 in the ninth, Jon-Jon Hancock led off with a hit, but try to advance it into a double and was thrown out. Hancock does not have the speed to advance to second on a hit like that. Nor did the Rebels need him to be at second. A runner was all we needed and then we pulled this inexcusable move, and lost 3-2. It is a must win game tomorrow for the Rebels as they can not afford to get swept.
