1 pitch 1 out for Mayes. Fly to center. 1 out T2nd

 

[Will Baizer]

Swing and strike 3. 2 outs. T2nd.

 

[joeywa]

Love the early strike on the scoreboard aided by 2 out knocks

 

[Will Baizer]

infield base hit. Bounces by Mayes and Reynolds. Both try to barehand it to no avail. Eh. Oh well.

Man on 1st, 2 outs. T2nd

 

[Will Baizer]

Strike 3 to end the top of 2nd. Two Ks in that inning. 39 pitches total for Mayes. 24 strikes.

 

[joeywa]

Mayes may have thrown fewer pitches in 2 frames than Richmond P did in 1. 

 

[Will Baizer]

Line drive to left and McCann turns a single into a double with his running.

Double to start the B2nd.

 

[Will Baizer]

4 pitches and 4 balls to Mathis.

Men on 1st and 2nd. No outs.

Zane Gurwitz is up and showing bunt.

 

[Will Baizer]

Zane should just sit in the box and let the Richmond pitcher try to throw strikes.

Oh well. He bunts and get an infield hit. Bases loaded. No outs.

 

[Will Baizer]

I'm calling a run walked in.

 

[Will Baizer]

So Hamilton hits into what appears to be a DP. Instead it's a 6-4 FC and E4.

2 runs cross. Texas is up 4-0.

1 out in B2nd.

 

[Will Baizer]

4 pitches 4 more balls. 

2 men on base. 1 out.

This game will go on forever.

 

[Will Baizer]

Texas pulls off the double steal. Men on 2nd and 3rd now. But Kasey takes a ball to the face. Ouch. He's all good though.

 

[Will Baizer]

Austin Todd gets a ball down the 3rd baseline.

2 RBI double.

First double of his career.

Texas now sitting on a 4 run B2nd.

Boswell is up now.

 

[Will Baizer]

1 pitch, 1 swing, 1 base, 1 RBI.

Bret Boswell with another RBI.

Texas up 7-0 and Richmond is retiring their pitcher after 65 pitches.

 

[joeywa]

65 pitches in 1 1/3 innings.  OUCH

 

[Will Baizer]

This game is over unless Texas has an absolute catastrophic collapse on defense.

 

[Will Baizer]

Reynolds is up. Already had an RBI single in the 1st.

Flies to left. 2 outs. B2nd.

 

[Will Baizer]

And Trace Busey is out on a 3-4-3 put out.

Texas leaves the inning with a 5 run inning.

Texas goes into the 3rd up 7-0 and forcing Richmond to switch pitchers after 1 1/3
