I'm stuck with ole miss and kentucky softball on SEC network. ESPN App shows our game not started.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 1 complete no score. Both pitchers probably in the 20s for pitch counts.

I'm listening to Craig and Keith on the streaming of Lognhorn radio. It started at 7:00 PM 1st pitch probably 7:05

 

[longhorndon]

We are definitely blessed to have Craig and Keith! Listening to them until the TV portion starts.

Top of the 2nd, LSU gets a base hit, but left stranded at 2nd.

 

[david ficken]

Heading to the bottom of the 3rd with no score

 

[david ficken]

Texas strikes for the 1st run of the game in the bottom of the 3rd. Bunt for a single by Gasparino, a infield hit by Beyleu a blop single by Flores to bring in Gasparino.
Thru 3 complete Texas leads 1-0.

 

[david ficken]

Top of the 4th, Spencer walks the leadoff batter then gives up a 2 run homerun. Spencer is around 80 pitches does have 7 strikeouts.
Heading to the bottom of the 4th LSU leads 2-1.

Top of the 5th, LSU gets 3 hits and 2 SAC to help add to the lead 4-1. Spencer has thrown 95/96 pitches. Expect Duplantier to come in at the top of the 6th.

Heading to the bottom of the 5th LSU leads 4-1.

 

[david ficken]

Bottom of the 6th, Galvan gets a 1 out homerun. Texas leaves a runner on as Borba strikeouts to end the 6th

Thru 6 complete LSU leads 4-2.

 

[david ficken]

Top of the 7th, LSU has scored 4 runs off Duplantier. Howard is in now with 2 outs. Too many leadoff batters getting on and too many 2 out hits for LSU. Howard throws a WP allowing the runner on 1st to go to 2nd and after getting ahead 1-2, he walks the batter. Now he does strikeout the next batter.

Heading to the bottom of the 7th with LSU leading 8-2.

Thru 7 complete LSU leads 8-2.

 

[david ficken]

Texas loses game 1 8-2.

Game 1 notes:
Starting pitching. Anderson line 6 innings 101 pitches, 7 hits, 8 strikeouts, 2 runs
Spencer's line 5 innings 96 pitches 7 hits, 7 strikeouts 4 runs, 3 walks and I believe 3 HBP.

Duplantier before tonight's game only allowed 2 runs. Tonight's line 1.2 innings of work with 5 hits, 4 runs, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts on 46 pitches with the other 2 HBP

LSU 7,8,9 hitters did as much damage tonight as anyone in their line-up including the most likely freshmen of the year in Curiel.

Good news we only used Duplantier and Howard out of the bullpen. Glad to have Schloss as a HC as he said now we will see how we respond to getting gut punched.

 

[82Horn]

Look for Texas to rebound and hit ball better tonight.

 

[david ficken]

Solid quick easy 1st for Harrison in game 2.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 1 complete no score.
