Didn't mean to take over, but I was getting frustrated and posted.
And kept posting, not that I'm superstitious.

Williams fly out to end the inning.

After 5 complete Texas leads 7-1. Texas has 6 unearned runs.

All good. It is frustrating sometimes with the hitters.

 

[david ficken]

Top of the 6th,
1 out single for HC. Saunier is up to 50 or so pitches. Another single. Texas is making a pitching change to Hamilton.

 

[david ficken]

Hamilton walks the bases loaded. Only 1 out. Throw to 3rd to pick off the runner. Wow. 2 outs.
Strikeout to end the top of the 6th.

 

[david ficken]

Mendoza leading off the bottom of the 6th. Mendoza called out on strikes. Galvan up. Galvan flyout. Belyeu groundout.

After 6 complete Texas leads 7-1

 

[david ficken]

Hamilton with his 2 strikout. 1 down in the top of the 7th. Groundout. Quick 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th for Hamilton.

 

[david ficken]

After 7 complete Texas leads 7-1

 

[david ficken]

Hamilton has retired 7 in a row. Heading to the bottom of the 8th

 

[david ficken]

Bottom of the 8th,
Borba leads off with a 4 pitch walk. Gasparino walks. Farmer came in for Williams, now up. 2 on no outs. Farmer infield fly rule and flies out to 1st. Mendoza up. For some dumb ass reason a double steal results in Borba out and Gasparino at 2nd. 1 on 2 outs with Mendoza up. Schloss with his head looking down amd shaking his head after that. Mendoza groundout.

No doubt. Who tries to steal before the pitcher even enters his stretch?

 

[david ficken]

Top of the 9th. Hamilton back out there.

Leadoff single. Strikeout. 1 out. Fielder choice. 2 outs. Strikeout

Texas wins 7-1. Winners bracket. 88 home regional wins.

Both teams had pick-offs that potentially killed rallies.

 

[Baron]

Interesting score, TCU is losing to USC 7-1.

[david ficken]

We will be facing UTSA tomorrow night at 8PM. Again on ESPN+ for TV or Longhorn Radio network.
UTSA is winning 10-2 in the bottom of the 8th. They are the home team. Believe they will also be the home team tomorrow night.

 

[BWilk55]

Schloss made a bit of a risky move in throwing 2ndary arms today but against an overmatched team the strategy worked out. Now we can throw our number 1 against UTSA tomorrow and still have our top bullpen arms available.
