SEC Baseball Tournament (Day 4)

The Razorbacks' SEC Baseball Tournament run came to a halt Saturday with an 11-1 loss to Vanderbilt at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. The Hogs were run ruled in the seventh inning. Four Arkansas pitchers gave up 15 hits to the Commodores. It could have been worse though. Despite the fact that it sprinkled steadily for a good portion of the game, Mother Nature held off the heavy stuff until the game was over. The next game, Georgia vs. LSU was rain delayed two outs into the first inning. That was at 1:54 p.m. It's now just past 6:00 p.m. and the game is expected to resume at 6:45 p.m. Thank God we got our game in and we can go home tomorrow.














Somebody in Arkansas' dugout crafted some rain gear for their Chick-Fil-A cow. I thought it was funny.

This might have been my last Hogs baseball game to shoot this season. Not sure yet and i feel like I've hit a stride as far as getting some good images. We'll see what happens with the NCAA Regional coverage.

SEC Baseball Tournament (Day 2)

All in all today was a good day of shooting at the SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Ala. What put the day over the top for me was the lead image shot with my remote camera, a D300 with a 300mm f2.8. Arkansas' game was a pitching duel until late in the game. The Hogs tied the game up 1-1 in the ninth inning. Georgia came back and won it in the bottom of the 10th on a play at the plate. My angle on the field wasn't very good and I didn't get a lock on the focus at the peak of the play. But my remote got all I needed. Lead art in the bag. After two days this is the only usable image I've made with my remote camera, but it's the one that counted the most.

The rest here is a mix of photos from Arkansas vs. Georgia and LSU vs. Alabama.



















The Hogs face Florida again tomorrow (Friday) in the loser's bracket. If they lose we go home on Saturday. If they win it could be another day or so. Either way I'm getting paid to shoot baseball for another day. Fine with me.

SEC Baseball Tournament (Day 1)

Arkansas beat Florida 8-5 and Georgia beat Ole Miss 6-3 in a day full of upsets at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. I shot both of these games today, one for work and the other (Ole Miss/Georgia) for the Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Miss. Here are some of my fav's from today.














The Hogs play Georgia tomorrow at 5 p.m. Brett Eibner is pitching. The last time he pitched against the Bulldogs earlier this season he pitched a complete, one hitter.
