2 Walks in a row for Mayes brings Skip to the bump for a visit. With Cumberland coming up, Mayes needs to not make a mistake or this lead could be cut in half with one swing.  

 

[utisdabomb12]

Texas almost turned the triple play there. 

 

[sendero95]

Welcome to HornSports Mr. Sendero.

Ladies and gents, Sendero brings a wealth of baseball knowledge to the board. He knows his stuff.

And when you speak of him, speak well.

First time I've ever been described using the term "wealth" or "knowledge" but I'll take it!

 

[joeywa]

T6 cont; runners on 1&2; nobody out; Texas leads 6-0

Cumberland

Hits a dying liner to 2B; Baker traps it; flips to SS to get the out; Boswell throws it to 1B for out 2; throw from Kacy to Kody at 3B was not in time

So, this is scored 4-6-3 DP; Runner on 3B

Replay shows that Kacy wasn't on the bag at 1B; another break goes Texas' way

2 Outs

Halamandaris

0-1 take

0-2 fouled back left

1-2 up/away

2-2 dirt; Cantu blocks it, gets away, but close enough that the runner at 3B has to stay parked there.

K Looking; Cantu sold the heck out of that one.  Looked a bit low and Blue hasn't been giving us those.

1 LOB and Mayes works out of a rough start

Texas 6

Cal 0

[sendero95]

I have sneaking suspension Baker muffed that one. Really good to see Mayes come back after b2b walks with the K.

 

[joeywa]

First time I've ever been described using the term "wealth" or "knowledge" but I'll take it!

We may have takes some creative liberties when welcoming new members.  Just sayin'.
