FINAL

Texas 2

Texas Tech 1

Parker French throws CG.

 

[joeywa]

Really big to get a CG out of French. This could be a long week of baseball.

 

[streettopeschel]

Some serious onions from French.

Now, Go Bears!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

In his post-game comments, Garrido said the decision between Mayes & Culbreth for the next game will be made this afternoon. They'll see which team wins (TCU/Baylor) and whether they have a L or R lineup.

 

[JimR]

the last pitch ending the game was about a foot outside, but i'll take it!

 

[Worster1]

Whew, that was close.  French was money today.  Glad that run we missed back in the early innings didn't come back to haunt the Horns.

Go Bearz!
