Texas vs. Kansas weekend series

[david ficken]

Thru 6 complete Texas leads 6-1.

LBJ has thrown so far a gem of a game with 97 pitches thrown getting 11 strikeouts, 1 run, only 4 hits and I believe only 1 walk. 

 

[david ficken]

After 7 complete Texas leads 6-1.

LBJ has gone 7 innings now 12 strikeouts. He has done what this team has needed which is not needing the bullpen and he has thrown strikes.

 

[david ficken]

After 8 complete Texas leads 6-1.  

Ace Whitehead starts the 8th and get thru the 8th with no issues.

 

[david ficken]

Bottom of the 9th Ace Whitehead is back out.  

 

[david ficken]

Texas wins 6-2.

Whitehead allows 2 to get on before getting 1 out. After getting tje bases loaded, then Andre D. comes on gives up 1 hit then gets 2 strikeouts.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Whitrhead gave just what was needed. Some one must step up tpmmorow after Whitt's short stay on the mound. Who will it be ?

 

[BWilk55]

Bad day for Lucas Gordon but he has been solid as the #1 starter. LBJ has seemed to solidify himself as the #2 now. Witt could be the answer for the #3 starter, at least for 3-4 innings by the end of the year. 

 

[tejasrulz]

ou beat WV yesterday so that helps.

Texas has to win today and take at least 2 of 3 from WV later this month to stand a chance at winning (or tying) the Big XII.

okie lite and K St still have to play each other and 1 more Big XII series (okie lite at ou, K St  at TCU) so hopefully they will have some additional loses. 

 

[tejasrulz]

Bot of the 3rd tied at 2, Kansas has a man on 1st w/no outs.

 

[tejasrulz]

After 3, Kansas 3 - Texas 2.

With 2 outs and a man on 1st, KU hit a triple. There was a play at the plate however the ball popped out of Galvan's glove while attempting the tag. If he could have held on to it, he would have been out.

 

[tejasrulz]

In the top of the 4th, Galvan hits an infield single and advances to 2nd on an E5. O'Dowd hits a single to CF to score Galvan to tie up the game. 

Going to the bot of the 4th tied at 3.

 

[tejasrulz]

Sthele gives up a 2 out walk but survives by striking the next batter out. Going to the 5th tied at 3's.

 

[tejasrulz]

Brown can't check his swing on what would have been ball 4. Texas strands a man at 1st, still tied at 3's.
