Let's get it started.

Owls go down in order in the top of the first. Wake up all you sleepyheads.

J Simms starting for Rice after a brief but consequential intervention in Friday's game.

I don't bet but my money's on Simms to pull us out of danger.

Help. two on with one out for the bad fellows.

Oh man, there goes my non-existent bet. Single scores one for UAB with a collision at home as described by JPH

Two walks, two strikeouts and one big hit and Simms is off to a strange start. Got to stabilise and adjust and come on Owl hitters.

Cook with a one out single for the Owls first hit of the day. T2 1-0 UAB

Whenever I see UAB in print I want to put an SQ in front of it. I shall call them the SQUABS.

Squabs get a double play and we go to the bottom of the second down 1-0.

Now 2-0 Squabs. Come on rain.

Byrd throws out a runner at the plate to stop the rally. Simms shaky. 2-0 Squabii heading to the 3rd.

Aquino singles, we finally learn 12 seconds after it happened.

Perrott singles. 2 on no out for Ewing. Here come the bunt, squabs

Ewing bunts the runners over. Yay Byrd is up.

Is it anyone worried that our two stud pitchers are suddenly struggling down the stretch of the season? IMO, that's a much more serious issue than any hitting issues.

Byrd gets the RBI groundout. Stringer up. Runner on third with two outs. Stringer goes to 3-2 and walks leaving runners at the corners. for Ford who grounds out. 2-1 Squabs going to B3.

Yes, I worry about that all the time. They seem fragile at this point of the season.

Don't know FBO. I have voiced concern about inconsistency, which is somewhat related to your point, and I have been told there is no inconsistency. So, go figure.

Woot! Simms sends them back to the dugout 1-2-3 for the first time and did the sun just come out? I don't know. I'm not watching the video feed. GameTracker got brighter though.

Ratt a tatt-tat. HR for our slugger. 2-2
