Texas vs Darmouth

[joeywa]

Most games in 30°-40° temps, (in my experience) are low-scoring affairs.

 

[BWilk55]

Spencer goes 4.1 innings (90 pitches) and now Riojas takes the mound with a runner on first.

That's twice now the Riojas has come in and put out a fire but after pitching in relief for several innings starts to lose his stuff. I am curious if Schloss is extending him a bit too far. Time will tell.

Aluminum bats in general don’t do well in cold weather. Saw a replay of the game, with warmer temperatures a few of those balls Texas hit would’ve most likely been gone.

Texas ties it up at 2 in the bottom of the 6th. If not for a high strike 3 call on Flores, it may have been more.

Pitching change for Texas, Duplantier pitched 3.2 good innings will now be replaced by Mercer. 2 outs and a man on second due to throwing error by Galvan.

Grubbs gets his 1st career save. Dartmouth started the inning with an infield single and a walk. Grubbs gets 2 Ks in a row and ends it with a groundout to first.

Final: Texas 3, Dartmouth 2

 

[HORNfromETX]

Not pretty, but it is a win. The weather looks a lot better tomorrow, so hopefully the bats will be better.

Cold and wet in the Austin area today, just a nasty day!

That’s a normal week 1 of the baseball season here in East Texas.

 

[david ficken]

Texas got the sweep over Dartmouth with a 4-1 win today.
D. Volantis gets the win going over 4 innings of work.

Onto the mod week game against Incarnate World, I believe.

So, Johan Williams now throwing, but nothing has been said yet about him being cleared to play.

After this past weekend the SEC has 11 teams ranked in the top 25 by D1 baseball.
