Turns out she was unjustly accused. It <em>was<\/em> beach night. No one else knew it:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar12\/mar47.jpg\" alt=\"fans\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The guy that made our cable and Internet problems all better.

I was pecking away at something in the library and she was fascinated by the dramatic bird chatter going on just beyond her reach:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar12\/mar50.jpg\" alt=\"Allie\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>You want fries with that?

He had three unearned runs given up behind him, but he had another solid outing today:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar12\/mar53.jpg\" alt=\"Koger\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Aubie is looking for a series sweep:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar12\/mar54.jpg\" alt=\"Aubie\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>But he would not find it. For the third game in a row LSU-Auburn was in doubt until the last pitch, this one. Kody Ortman had the  unenviable task of being put in as a pinch hitter. With the tying run on first Auburn took out a guy that was 2-3 on the day and batting in the .330s for a cold player with about half his average. Ortman hit it well, driving the ball crisply into centerfield:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar12\/mar55.jpg\" alt=\"Ortman\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;  but the ball was caught, the game was over.
