5:03 pm
we bring you the sights, and sounds from troy, alabama. >> let's take a look at this play. watch the replay on this one, even with the battle glove, sometimes you can't hold on to it. and sullivan walked and scored in the 2nd inning . when troy got a run on a couple of base hits, and a wild pitch, that is sullivan in there. he has a little platoon situation. a left-handed hitter. nice job on the slider to go the other way.
5:07 pm
5:08 pm
it was bang, bang, but i think absolutely the right call. rowell just didn't get the right foot back on the bag in time to get the run. am by texas tremendous feet enjoyed by rowell. left-right action there. tripped last night. that was his own base hit. the 2nd baseman have been very busy, especially mr. fujita. scooped them all up at 2nd
5:09 pm
base. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ground ball to the right side early for the trojans of arkansas - little rock. and feldmann hit by a pitch. coming up on on comcast sportnet southeast, new orleans -hournettes basketball. tune in for hornets tonight, followed by the tip off. arkansas - little rock will use base runners by whatever means they come. >> it is the second time today that ray has hit a arkansas - little rock batter.
5:10 pm
right here, trying to run to the plate. we will see if the little rock is getting a little aggressive on the base pass, if this happened via the steal or what not. kind of quiet other that be the one solo homer in the 1-sst. offensively really have not threatened, at all. and feldmann lead from 1st. lifted into shallow right center field and steven felix makes the catch out there for out number 2. what i am seeing from ray, he plunked feldmann with a fastball. he is not throwing it down the middle. outside corner. he is making these ualr hitters
5:11 pm
make a good pitch. i am sure you might hit somebody will you make a pitch from outside, but the benefits are outwavinged. and feldmann has been a good base stealer this year, although he has run infrequently, 6-7 right now. and that is the second highest base-stealing total among the starters today. 2 outs for casey mccollum, as tyler ray is settling in very well. allowing a 2-run to houston in the 1st. fastball, strike. >> feldmann would be a beast if he was on troy's team. they don't have a starter with more than 2 stolen bases in their line up. they just do not run much.
5:12 pm
the old baltimore orioles with an earl weaver. >> yes, but 4 or 5 years ago led the nation in stolen bases. and adam godwin with the dodgers in the minor league. you have the ying i can't think. a guy that led the nation, then for the most part you don't run that much, at all. 2 balls and a vehicle.
5:13 pm
>> that is exactly what arkansas - little rock needed. got the runners started, ground ball left side. short stop recovered, then a huge mistake by hoyle out in left field, and running in on it, he kind of almost acted like a do or die play when he could have easily set up, kept it in front. the runner would have just stayed at 3rd, but instead the bobble let to a ualr run. so an uncharacteristic error by the troy trojans. produce it is second run of the game for ualr. and rowell will try to make this a brand new ball game with mccollum at 2nd base and 2 outs. the mistakes by troy has led to this. you have the hit batter then the error in left field, but
5:14 pm
credit little rock for finding a by with the aggressiveness on the bases and the timely hit leads to the run. rowell can be selective at 2-0. tyler ray has walked nobody. hit a couple of batters, struck 2. only allowed 2 base hits. a 2-0 pitch. and the outside edge there. >> yes. perfect 2-0 pitch. amazing how quickly the tide changes. because ray seemed to be completely in control of little rock, then all of a sudden you get a good hitter up there, and then one is on 2nd base, and houston on deck. rosado able to locate it for

[musying ♪t's ght, ♪ ♪h, all r. f noumove alonh weight loss on of any to f f teoais p morrmat onginn, g figritiorg. troy lead in the middle game of this series after winning last night. it is already football season on comcast sportnet southeast. catch more great spring games over the next few weeks from other top acc and fcc programs,
5:17 pm
including clemson, georgia, ole miss and more. go to www.csse.com. that is where you will find spring football. speaking of spring football, troy concluded it's spring season today with its annual spring game pretty well attended across the street. and steven felix continues his hot waves. >> that is when you know you are going good when you don't even hit it really well. that ball all over his hands. he was able to fight it off for a base hit that. is when the tide start to turn for a hitter, when those bleeders start to fall in there. felix has a brother that plays in the pittsburgh pirates minor league organization. ies brother was a pitcher here in troy, and his dad is
5:18 pm
reasoning listening on the troy radio broadcast on the internet. he is a private contractor working over in afghanistan, so, of course, with the time difference, sometimes they will have to get up at 2:00 a.m. over there to listen to his son play. i suspect somebody in the felix household is making tape of this game and sending the disc over to afghanistan, don't you? >> let's hope. felix at 1st base. his mom is one of those front row fans at every home game.
5:19 pm
so, rivera hit it between the stitches, but could not drive it past killingsworth. >> right on the line, back to left field. kind of goes with the game of baseball, felix gets a jam shot on the hands, it falls. there you see anna felix, the mother of stephen felix, and the other brother, michael, who was and all american pitcher here, drafted in the 2nd round of the pro drafts. great baseball player in the their family. 2 going. nice by done by casey mccollum in the 3rd. retired. 1-3. and felix moves to 2nd base on the chop to 3rd. >> really impressed with golden
5:20 pm
and how he was able to kind of right himself and regroup after a very shaky one-plus innings to start this game. 3 quick runs and now settled in and looks like a million bucks. and chase whitley delivered a big blow in the 1st when the trojans scored twice. he had a 2-out rbi double. followed steven felix's home run, with 1 up. and felix is at 2nd base. 3-2, troy leads. 2 outs in the 5th. >> wow, this is an rbi hit
5:23 pm
we are in the 6th inning in troy, alabama. it looks as though this will be a lot of sunshine from now on. and houston has provided some sunshine to the ualr trojans. >> i think houston has a nice swing. look at him trying to bunt right there. the guy can roll. 9 stolen bases, top in the team. great combination of the power, 8 homer to lead the club. then the 9 stolen bases, as
5:24 pm
well. all around great player. good 2nd baseman . he will be getting the attention of the 1st out. and a dandy breaking pitch. beyond left field, by the start of next season, there will be a baseball plaza out there, concrete, concourses, championship flags and places for people to watch the game. that is the reason there is a chain linked fen, and not a solid fence, because people will be on the other side with an excellent opportunity to see the game from a good advantage point. that will be coming next spring, for sure. ray slammed it down for a
5:25 pm
moment, stumbled and unable to pick it up. >> tough break by ray. did a nice job of knocking it down. looks like he will have an easy recovery. makes a nice save, but kind of stumbles right there. and tyson parks says it will be the #nd infield play of the game. if parks comes around to score, it won't be so funny for mr. ray. and parks mother was in the hotel workout room this morning. they are in nebraska. his mom is a family medicine doctor who travels to see most of the games. his dad, i am told is a principal, a student principal in nebraska. they don't live far from lincoln, but his mom louvres baseball and travel to most of
5:26 pm
the games. -- loves baseball and travels to most of the games. one of 26 new faces on the roster. >> yes. i read the roster earlier. he is the one new guy from nebraska. >> yes. you would have had a chance to meet his mom, too, but i know your workout came much earlier. >> i think i got my 10-miles in while you were sleeping. how far was that walk? >> more than 10-miles. i have to be honest. runner breaking. ray to the task. >> not really good communication that time by troy. because, parks stole way too early. took off, tried to guess --
5:27 pm
look at the slip right there. parks tried to guess when he was going to pitch. pitched too soon t. lack of communication leads to an easy base. so now they will get two cracks out of the runner in scoring position wilson twice has grounded out to fujita at 2nd base. and brown is on deck. 2-2 to wilson. from tyler ray. and that was behind him.
5:28 pm
>> 4 steps before the runner even got home, they have to be calling 4 steps, 4 steps, trying to steal the base. good pay off for landis wilson. >> and he will have to have the last pitch, it went behind wilson. that got the bullpen stirring down on the troy side. they will start talking a little bit. you know, baseball, like no other sport keeps a plethora of statistics. the minutia in this game is sometimes unbelievable. 3-2 pitch. you can pretty much count on a foul ball. it happens almost 2/3 of the time. and it happens again. bet with the house. so, 2 straight, and the bullpen down there is stolen. an number 39, thomas austin
5:29 pm
there. they know that todd mcrae this year is -- tyler ray this year is a guy that goes more than 5 innings. the 3rd 3-2 pitch. lifted into shallow right field. fujita headed out. felix coming in. the ladder who makes the play. that was a good 3-2 pitch right there. he get those arms extended. now scott scott norwood is going to want to have a word with his hitter, nate brown. he needs somebody on the team to step up and get a big 2-out hit. this is an important moment for the team. nate brown could be
