We struggle on the stealing second base game. 

Their catcher was putting the throws to second on the money.

[Hognrock]

AState looked pretty solid. Not sure why their record isn't better than what it is. Maybe they were juiced for this one and we weren't but they looked better than their record indicates.

I was in Jonesboro this weekend. Drove by the stadium and notice about 12 people sitting in the bleachers and thought WTF?  Looked down on the field and noticed a game was going on. Not sure of attendance tonight but even 50% capacity would be an adrenalin rush for them.

Their catcher was putting the throws to second on the money.

And Helfrick was safe. Ump made an anticipation call, and there wasn't a good enough angle to call it conclusively safe, so they had to stay with the call on the field.

I agree. But their catcher was very good at throwing to second.
