This would be a perfect time for another clutch Clemens HR.

3 runs in 2 games. Guess the Texas hitters were too busy reading how good they were.

Nah.  I think they just didn't care about being in a tournament that held not very much up side for them.  Winning the conference and an RPI/SOS where it is should ensure a host spot.  The lower seeded teams in the tourney, (all of which won their games yesterday,) had to win the first game.  Outside of WVU, the others are not in the mix for the CWS tournament without a solid tournament showing.  Sure, Texas could have solidified their hosting spot with a W today, but outside of running the table and winning the conference tourney, they didn't stand to improve to a top 8 seed, and even then it would be questionable. 

Go home, get out of Oklahoma and rest up a bit.  Work on some things this next week and come into the CWS ready to play some ball at the Disch.
