Thru 7 complete tied at 2.

Put a gold star next to LBJ for his relief of Burke. He is showing that he has some nasty stuff when he just goes out to pitch and not be thinking about it.

Top of the 8th. Texas takes the lead.

Texas now leads 3-2.

Thru 8 complete Texas leads 3-2.

LBJ has gone 6 inning with just awesome stuff. Will have to see about next weekend if LBJ becomes a weekend starter.

 

[david ficken]

Shaw comes in with 1 out in the 9th.

LBJ 6 1/3 innings with no walks, 6 strikeouts and giving up only 3 hits.

Very good news after last weekend (more on that later).

If I may elaborate please for those of you who didn't watch the game. TCU led off the 9th with a single which led to Texas pulling LBJ (who had a great outing) in favor of Shaw. A sac bunt put the TCU runner at 2nd. Then a TCU single put runners on 1st & 3rd with 1 out. Not sure why they didn't send the runner home but they didn't. The next batter hit a flyout to LF, the runner took off for home and Brown threw him out at the plate for the game ending double play!

I watched both games and multiple times during both of them the announcers stated how much the ou sweep of Texas, in Austin, hurt the Horns chances of hosting a regional. They also mentioned today that the last time ou swept Texas in Austin was in the 1950's!

I'm not sure who is behind the Hornsports twitter but they always have great baseball content

Pitching tommorow? Whit starts goes one inning, Hurley next? Or Stehle. 

Tole and Shaw should be good for a couple innings each . We will see tommorow.

I agree. They win on Monday and sweep next weekend at Kansas then. It might be a winners takes all against WVU in 3 weekends idf it plays out right.

We should've won at least 1 if not 2 of the games against ou sux. We should've sweeped Baylor as well,but didn't. 

As for Witt it's  not 1 inning, but 20 pitches you D.A. so hope for 1 inning. 

Can't  believe they didnt send their catcher on a single towards Cambell, but guessing they fear his throw over Brown's throw on a sac fly to short left field. Glad that he threw accurately. For the double play.

 

[Eastexhorn]

As for Whitt it's not one inning, but 20 pitches you D. A. ?

The throw was a little off but beat the runner by so much it gave the catcher plenty of time to cover the plate. Nice way to end the game! ?

 

[david ficken]

It's been ugly so far today. As I thought 2/3 of an inning for Witt.

It's 13-4 TCU in the bottom of the 5th. 

Also, Hurley, and Tole each going only 2/3 of an inning each.

 

[david ficken]

Texas is on it's 7 pitcher in the bottom of the 6th.

The score is 15-6 TCU.  Texas has scored 2 runs in the top half of the 5th and 6th. TCU has scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th.  

Texas has 3 outs and hope to score at least 2-3 more times in the top of the 7th; while keeping TCU from scoring anymore runs to not having the run rule used on them.

If you would have told me before this started that Texas would take the series, I would have been happy. A sweep would have been awesome but a series win on the road isn't bad.
