I think that’s what Pierce said.

T7

Madden issues a leadoff walk

KS, KS and a CS end the frame

EVERYBODY STRETCH!

B7

Texas gets a leadoff walk from Zubia, then Miss St goes to the pen.  In comes Landon Sims, who Ks the side.

Horns trial 2-0, thru 7 complete

 

[Huskie1]

Horns are clueless at the plate.

 

[HORNfromETX]

Bad 2nd strike by the umpire, but Hodo didn't even take the bat off his shoulder on the other 2 down the pipe.

 

[UT1983]

The team may have made it to Omaha but the bag with the bats sure didn’t 

 

[TexCoyote]

18 K’s end of the 7th inning. I said the other day they won’t be a factor because not enough hitting. Pitching and defense can carry you only so far. They got a lot of young guys and Pierce recruits good so hopefully they will keep getting better

T8 sees Hansen come in to pitch.

T8

Hansen gets a ground out, gives up a single, gets a FC U3 & a KL ends it

Horns trail 2-0 headed B8

Faltine/Ardoin/Kennedy due up

 

[Huskie1]

For as bad as the offense has been, Horns are still in it

 

[Huskie1]

Well, so much for my optimism 

 

[joeywa]

B8

Once again, Horns go in order. 

Texas hitters have struck out TWENTY times tonight.  TWENTY.  Inconceivable. 

Horns trail 2-0 headed to the 9th

There is a lot of youth, which is not an excuse, but even the sophomores only got in what?, 2 months last year. 
 

 

[java]

Go, Antico!

 

[java]

We have life.

 

[joeywa]

T9

Miss St retired in order

B9, leadoff dinger from Antico

 

[UT1983]

Well damn.  Got to get those damn bats out earlier. 

 

[joeywa]

B9

Runners on the corners, 2 outs

Hodo hits into a 4-3 ground out to end it. 

Horns fall 2-1.

We'll be back on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Eastexhorn]

2 and Q?

 

[texbound]

Exactly what i was nervous about heading into Omaha. A lot of those high scoring games in the regionals and super were helped by a lot by walks.  Madden pitch a hell of a game, Bednar just pitched a better one.  That's baseball.

I have some extra golf club covers to help get the bats warm for Tuesday.  Paging Pedro Cerano, paging Pedro Cerano!.
