From last night

 

[TB14]

I only got to watch the last 2 innings. Any reason Harrison came out after 3? His pitch count didn’t seem too high. I just worry about his arm troubles in the past.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 1 complete Texas leads 1-0. Mendoza scores from 3rd from failed pick off attempt allowing him to score.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 3 complete Texas leads 2-0. Flores hits a homerun in the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 3.5 Texas leads 2-1. Volantis gives up a lead off double that scores, but gets the next 3 guys out.
Volantis thru his 4 innings of work is at or under 50 pitches thrown. Compare to the Santa Clara pitcher being over 60 pitches and hasn't yet started the Texas half of the 4th.

 

[Baron]

What's up with the nazi umpires checking the hands and gloves of each pitcher as they enter or leave the field.

 

[Baron]

4-1 Texas at the stretch.

 

[Baron]

One hell of a double play by Texas to end the top of the 8th.

Offense wasn't as explosive this series. Averaged 6 runs a game against pitching that I assume is not at the level of quality we will face in conference play.

Pitching was pretty great all weekend. Giving up 2 runs a game. Again, not the level of offenses they will face in the SEC but a pretty dominant performance.
