Game 2 - Texas vs OU (Recap & post-game added)

[Matt Cotcher]

T7th cont'd

<Baker with a diving tag on a SB attempt, 1 down>

Evans - Single down the RF line that Shaw cuts off before Evans can stretch it to a double

Here comes the rain!

Ake - Shaw with a long run makes a catch, F9 for 2 outs

Skip out to pull Culbreth for Ty Marlow.

Sliding catch by Shaw in short RF at the foul line for out #2, and Shaw makes tough plays look routine. 

 

[joeywa]

That's what you want from a reliever coming in with 2 outs, 1 on-an F7 on one pitch.  Nice job Ty!

EVERYBODY STRETCH! 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

T7th cont'd

Mendenhall - first pitch swinging goes F7 to end inning with 1 LOB

Headed to bottom half with UT in front, 4-1.

 

[joeywa]

Quan Cosby singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the stretch today.  All that was missing was the Harry Carey glasses! 

 

[joeywa]

That was not your typical Ben Johnson AB.  Ugly swing chasing a ball out of the zone on the KS. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

B7th - Garza back out to pitch for OU

Marlow - K's on heat

Johnson - K's swinging 

Cantu - K's swinging

Garza sets 'em down in order.

On to the 8th with Horns in the lead, 4-1.

 

[joeywa]

Cantu's AB wasn't spent watching pitches.  He was really hacking up there. 

 

[joeywa]

A Kirby Bellow sighting. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

T8th - OU has top of the order due

Carpenter - gives one a ride to LCF but Johnson is there, F7

Johnson out to get Marlow, Kirby Bellow in to pitch.

 

[joeywa]

The 3-run 6th by Texas is the first crooked number inning by the Horns' offense in 22 innings. 

 

[joeywa]

The Texas ground crew delivers a fresh load of dirt to the mound for Bellow.  Wonder if he phoned in the order?  Is it like Dominoes where you get it in 30 minutes or less or it's free?

 

[joeywa]

Spieth drops two strokes on 17 with a double bogey.  Still up by 5 strokes on #18.

 

[joeywa]

Boswell flashing leather at 3B!  Nice play.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

T8th cont'd - 1out with nobody on base

<UT grounds crew out to do a little work on the mound after the rain.>

Alspaugh - nifty spin & throw by Boswell gets him for 5-3, 2 outs

Aikin - K swinging needs a throw from Cantu

Heading to home half with Longhorns in lead, 4-1.

 

[joeywa]

Boswell


 

 

[joeywa]

Spieth finishes up today at -16 today.  Great up/down on 18.  He owns the 54-hole Master's Scoring Record. 

 

[joeywa]

Tres with a nice single. 

 

[joeywa]

CJ follows up with a single.  Horns with a little something working here in B8. 

 

[joeywa]

I'm not so sure I don't come back tomorrow with Cantu behind the plate again.  With as much as ou likes to steal bases, IMO he's the better option defensively at this point.
