Game 3: Texas vs OU (Recap & post game added)

[Matt Cotcher]

I'm tempted to taunt O'Brien about not even having warning track power, but since he hit the GW on Friday night, I'll keep my mouth shut.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Cantu has had himself a few good days behind the dish.

[joeywa]

T6 (cont) Runner on 1B; 2 outs; McKenzie on to P

Carpenter (1-1)

2-1 in

3-1 low/away

3-2 take; WAY inside.  Wow.

IF single that Baker knocks down deep in the hole to his right, no play for him.

New P is going to be Malmin

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Situational spot for McKenzie and he can't get Carpenter. Skip doesn't hesitate and goes straight to Malmin.

It's obvious how much the coaches want this win and how they feel about a one run deficit compared to two.

Texas needs to string something together here.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Tasin is at 75 pitches & no action in the OU bully.

Good to see Shaw make solid contact. He's all the way down to .215.

[Matt Cotcher]

Garrido talked about them over-reacting at the plate when they realize they're about to lose. This is a good test of that...
