Quintanilla has some nasty stuff

It will only get better.  Good problem to have.

Having nasty stuff is a problem?

B8

Horns are retired in order for the first time tonight.

Headed to the 9th, Horns up 7-1

 

[Johnstark23]

Ridgeway with some really amazingly bad luck in the 9th. 

 

[joeywa]

Horns call on Ridgeway to close it out, and he does, although he allows one run.

And by the way guys if you aren’t watching the Zeke and Zonk show that is Longhorn Baseball on LHN you are missing a Masters Level course on playing the game. No Lowell is a bonus.

Pitching looked great again. 

Also how many walks did we have? Seemed like we had as many walks as hits!

Henley and Co aren't looking too hot to start out.

 

[joeywa]

T1

Henley really struggled with command and location in the opening frame.  Purdue plates 3 before the bleeding stopped.

Horns trail 3-0

 

[joeywa]

B1

Horns retired in order.

Horns trail 3-0 thru 1 complete.

 

[joeywa]

T2

Henley settles in a bit in the 2nd.

Gets a 1-2-3 frame with a KS.

Horns trail 3-0 headed B2

 

[HORNfromETX]

7 spot for Texas!!

 

[joeywa]

B2

Don't look now, but the bats are alive and well

After a 1-out Bertelson BB, Reynolds with a single, Ford BB, McCann 3 RBI double and  Reagan 2-run HR.  Horns up 5-3

Ellis BB, Kennedy lines a rope over RF fence for a 2 run HR

Horns up 7-3

 

[joeywa]

T3 & B3 both went 1-2-3, including Texas hitters being retired with 3 KLs, (although I question the location of a couple of the called 3rd strikes.)

T4, leadoff IF single for Purdue is quickly erased on a 1-4-3 DP.  F8 ends the frame

Horns still up 7-3 headed B4
