This ump's strike zone is terrible.

B2nd

Clemens - Ahead 3-1 and draws the BB, runners at 1B & 2B, 1 out

Gurwitz - K swinging on an off speed pitch, 2 outs

Baker - Ahead 3-1 & thinks he has a walk, but strike 2 called, then L7 for out #3, 2 LOB

Heading to 3rd, still tied 1-1

 

[utisdabomb12]

OU's starting pitcher has thrown about 45 pitches through 2. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

No RBI on the double play

That's what I thought, but the official scorekeeper called out RBI? Is it different since they had to tag Barrera at 1B?

 

[Worster1]

Let's hope the Horns work the starting pitcher to lot's of throws and he gets tired while giving up some runs!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

T3rd

Ake - F8 on a 2-2 pitch, 1 out

Carpenter - F6 as Baker backs up into shallow LF, 2 outs

Alspaugh - Solid single to CF

Hermelyn - Bloop single falls in, in front of Johnson, runners at 1B & 2B, 2 outs

Aikin - 4-3 ends the threat

Whoever drew up this OU roster, hates America. These names are ridiculous to type.

Headed to B3, Texas 1 - OU 1

 

[utisdabomb12]

Barrera is over swinging. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

B3rd

Marlow - Gives a 2-2 pitch a ride to CF, but L8 for out #1

Johnson - BB
Barrera - 5-4-3 DP, Barrera's second of the night

Headed to 4th, 1-1

That's what I thought, but the official scorekeeper called out RBI? Is it different since they had to tag Barrera at 1B?

I don't think so but I'll look it up

T4th

Neuse - Single up middle that Baker can't reach

PB on Barrera on 1-2 pitch allows Neuse to advance to 2B

Tasin - 6-3 grounder for out #1 and the runner moves to 3B instead of a DP, 1 out

Skip to bump

 

[utisdabomb12]

This Baker kid is legit. 

 

[joeywa]

Joe Baker is solid. Nice D freshman.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

T4th cont'd

Shaw - Behind 1-2, nice play by Baker who was playing in, holds the runner, 6-3, 2 outs

Haley - 6-3 strands Neuse at 3B

Headed to home half, UT 1 - OU 1

 

[Johnstark23]

I don't think so but I'll look it up

Page 93 of the ncaa rule book says no RBI if the batter runner is put out at first

 

[ToadHallGangster]

Oh, yeah!

 

[utisdabomb12]

Thanks OU.
