Pitchers' best friend.

That's one way to get out of a leadoff walk

 

[Will Baizer]

Bottom of 5th:

McCann and Mathis both get out while I was gettting popcorn.

Tate Shaw walks though. So 1 on. 2 out.

Shaw is picked off on a steal.

2-6 on the out.

Going into the 6th Blair Henley still on the mound.

 

[Will Baizer]

Top 6th:

1st batter ground to Hamilton. 1 out.

Henley is over 100 pitches now. No one in the bull pen.

2nd batter double off the first pitch.

Man on 2nd. 1 out.

3rd batter ground to Boswell.

4-3 out and runner moves to 3rd.

2 outs.

Blair Henley is done for the day 

Beau Ridgeway is coming in for relief.

He walks his batter and now Nolan Kingham comes in

Kingham picks off the man on 1st with a 1-3-6 pick off. Caught him in a pickle.

Strands the man on 3rd and Texas still leads 5-4.

 

[joeywa]

Certainly not a bad day for Henley, but not dominant either.  Let's see what Beau can do

 

[drgilbert]

Gotta love the pick off

 

[Will Baizer]

UCLA just basically changed up their entire line up. Every position changed defensively.

Bottom 6th:

David Hamilton blops it to left.

It takes a wicked bounce left and Hamilton turns a single into a double.

Lead off double.

Kacy Clemens knocks it into left field for a single. The left fielder bobbles the ball so its an E7.

Hamilton takes the error and scores.

Man on 1st.

TEXAS LEADS NOW 6-4

Austin Todd bunts the ball and moves Clemens to 2nd.

1 out. Runner on 2nd.

Brett Boswell gets ball 4.

Runners on 1st and 2nd. 1 out.

UCLA changes pitches.

Ryan Reynolds bunts the ball over to get the runners to 2nd and 3rd.

2 outs.

Travis Jones gets the 2 out walk to load the bases.

Michael McCann gets the 2 RBI single and moves the 1st baseman over to 3rd.

If McCann isn't starting Tuesday than Pierce is crazy

TEXAS LEADS NOW 8-4

UCLA balks and Texas scores a run and moves a guy to 2nd

TEXAS LEADS NOW 9-4

Patrick Mathis flies out to left field to end the inning

 

[joeywa]

UCLA just basically changed up their entire line up. Every position changed defensively.

Official scorer is cussing Savage right now. 

 

[Will Baizer]

McCann is hitting .500 this year and 3-4 with 2 RBIs today.

 

[streettopeschel]

McCann is hitting .483 this year and 3-4 with 2 RBIs today.

pretty good for a backup.

 

[Will Baizer]

Pierce just took out McCann and replaced him with Michael Cantu...

Defensive substitution.

 

[MikeV73]

Ucla's pitcher Mora any relation to the football coach?

Longhorns still lead 9-5

 

[joeywa]
