Flower Mound being repped tonight on the mound!

 

[joeywa]

And Craig Way is BACK on the radio broadcast.  Awesome!

 

[joeywa]

Zeke & Dunn on the call on LHN.

 

[joeywa]

Texas in Burnt Orange jerseys, white pants with burnt orange pinstripes, burnt orange socks and white caps with burnt orange bills.  Very classic look.

CC Islanders are wearing royal blue caps, jerseys and under sleeves, socks and dark gray pants.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Considering what happened in Lincoln and the mess that is Austin traffic, there's a decent crowd on hand for first pitch.

 

[joeywa]

And we're off

No score heading B1

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Perfect start for Johnston:

1. Throw to the mitt

2. Involve your defense with routine grounders

 

[joeywa]

B1

Note: I REALLY like the move of Marlow to leadoff.  He tends to take more pitches than Johnson, and I personally think that's necessary from a leadoff guy.  He needs to tell the other hitters what he's seen.

Marlow

1-0 away

2-0 up

6-3; 1 out

CJ

0-1 fouled away right

FO4 at the wall in shallow RF; 2 outs; wind held that one up in the field of play as it looked like it was going foul

Great play by 2B

2-1 take

2-2 fouled back left

KS; That ball was above the letters.  Horrible call by Blue.

1 LOB

2 in the books; 0-0

 

[joeywa]

LHN had the camera angle at ground level behind the plate for that last pitch, and that pitch was clearly up. 

Slim needs to start chirping at the ump a bit.  Maybe he can turn around and call with his good eye.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I liked Cantu jumping on the 1st pitch after the first four guys lulled Harris into thinking the Horns would take several pitches.

Smart play by Gurwitz to take the out instead of trying to make the perfect throw home. Guilford's wheels are too good for that.

Andy McGuire to the bump to pitch for Texas

 

[Matt Cotcher]

It doesn't get talked about much because of the Marlow-CJH tandem up the middle, but Boswell's defense at 3B is fun to watch. Cannon for an arm.
