As I mentioned yesterday, I will keep up with this thread for about the first hour of the game, then my input will be spotty. If any of you folks want to chime in and assist, that would be much appreciated.

Hook Em!

Movement in the lineup today with Kody replacing McKenzie at 2B and Travis Jones making his first appearance of the season at 3B. 

Augie said that SA/SU would be basically identical lineups, but Sunday may see some shuffling to get some different kids some looks.

Safe Travels!..

Liking with what I have seen so far.

 

[Donald Boyles]

Kacy a little emphatic on that 3rd out in the top of the 5th..

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Duke in to pitch after Connor walks first batter of the fifth. Fielder's choice, caught stealing, and a groundout later, we go to bottom of the fifth still 3-0

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Freshman Nick Kennedy up in the pen

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Gurwitz - good AB, fights off 5 foul balls, rips a stand up double into left center on the 10th pitch of the AB

Boswell - groundout to 2nd, runner advances to third, 1 out

Mathis - another good AB, fights to a full count, draws a walk. Runners on the corners

Barrera - Tres got glanced by a foul ball while in the on deck circle, gets a bloody lip to show for it. Ump takes a look, let's him keep playing (can't play if actively bleeding). Anyway, Tres makes good of it by ripping an RBI single back up the middle.

4-0 Texas, runners on 1st and 2nd
