Melendez HBP, Stehly with a hard grounder to SS who bobbles and can't get the ball to 2nd before Melendez. Melendez left the bag thinking he was out but a review had been called prior to him leaving the bag. 2 RBI double by Todd. Texas 11-3

To the top of the 9th. Coy Cobb out to close things out. Low pressure inning of work for him

Final 11-3 Texas. Very nice win. No major bullpen work needed. Bats looked good. Exactly what we needed

I know that we want to be kind, generous people, but shouldn’t this thread be preserved for posterity.

The ad for Aggieland Outfitters, you know!

I did take a picture just in case.

How many more innings can Olivarez pitch this weekend?  Same with Cobb?

Pretty low stress outings for both yesterday. May not be available today but I could definitely see both being ready for action Sunday.

That is good. Hansen put the team in a great position. 

I am hoping Gordon ate his Wheaties this morning and a raw steak for lunch. Get ‘em tiger!

Hook ‘em!

ps:  Dallas Baptist will be at their best tonight fellas, so bring your A game!

Another question, how did Huston pitch game after game, closing?

At least it seemed he did.

Another question, how did Huston pitch game after game, closing?

At least it seemed he did. 

He appeared in 39 out of 70 games in 2003 and 31 of 73 in 2004, so about half of the games. He did pitch on average 1.8 innings per appearance. I'm not going to dig too far into it but I imagine he was capable of going back to back days or even 3 in a row in the tournament if needed.

He did. It was pretty amazing.

And he drank a lot of Gatorade and water to avoid the cramps.

Wayne, are you talking about Huston or Hansen?

 

[BWilk55]

Top 1: Gordon gives up two free bags but recovers to strand the runners and put up a 0

 

[BWilk55]

Bottom 1: La Tech pitcher makes quick work of Hodo and Kennedy. Has Melendez in a 1-2 hole but hits him and then hit Stehly. Todd with a weak ground out to end the inning.

Gordon had cramps at the end of his game in the Big 12 tournament. That’s why he got pulled from the game. 

 

[BWilk55]

Top 2: Gordon gives up a 2 out single and a double. Gets a strike out to strand 2 more runners. He has labored so far, over 40 pitches already. 0-0

 

[java]

Ouch. 

 

[BWilk55]

Bot 2: another 2 quick outs for La Tech's pitcher but Dylan Campbell gives him the "you hang it, I bang it" treatment and parks one in the left field bullpen. Texas up 1-0

 

[BWilk55]

Bot 2nd : Trey Faltine becomes the 3rd Texas hitter to be HBP which leads to some consternation and a warning to the La Tech dug out. Hodo strikes out to end the inning. Texas 1-0

 

[BWilk55]

Top 3: Gordon hasn't been great but has been consistent. Another 20ish pitch inning, stranding 2 runners after giving up 2 singles. Texas 1-0
