****Texas vs Rice Sat DH Thread****

[Harrison Wier]

Hamilton hits a swinging bunt and is out at first. Another missed opportunity there

 

[Will Baizer]

A nubber in front of the mound for Jones. Its a 1-3 ground out and inning over. Texas strands two off of 2 walks. Still up 2-1 going into the 5th.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Johnston needs a quick inning here

 

[Will Baizer]

1-3 put out off another ball back to the pitcher. 1 up, 1 down.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Ugh. E4 on Boswell. Johnston needs his defense to back him. 

 

[Harrison Wier]

And of course Proctor gets a base hit on the first pitch. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out

 

[Will Baizer]

E4 to Boswell and that puts a guy on 1st. Ball hit back to Boswell and it gets by him again. Runners on 1st and 2nd. 1 out. Top 5th. 

 

[Harrison Wier]

Big K there for Johnston. Blew a 90 mph fastball right by him

 

[Harrison Wier]

Johnston gets out of it. Getting one more inning from him would be big for Texas

 

[Will Baizer]

Texas start the Bot 5th with the top of their line up.
Travis Jones
Kody Clemens
Austin Mathis

 

[Harrison Wier]

Since it's a double header, there are only 7 innings in this game

 

[Will Baizer]

Travis Jones leaves it a little too high to CF. 1 out in B5th.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Good reaction play by Salinas. Clemens rolled over just enough for him to get the chopper

 

[Harrison Wier]

Mathis puts a nice drag bunt down the 3B line, but pushes it a bit too hard. Out by half a step at first. T6 coming up

 

[Harrison Wier]

Leadoff single. Johnston leaves it out over the plate. Needs a grounder. Rice may play small ball.

 

[Will Baizer]

Johnston started off throwing 41 pitches threw 16 balls. 44 pitches over last 3 innings and 10 balls.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Perfect pitch from Johnston. 6-4-3 DP. 2 outs

 

[Will Baizer]

Texas gets the a 6-4-3 double play! Two outs in T6th.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Johnston is hitting 94 with over 90 pitches. Stamina

 

[Will Baizer]

Fly ball to LF to end the top of 6th. Longhorns get out of the inning with a double play and F7. Still lead 2-1 going into the bottom 6th.
