Yep; we're in good shape. We go back to the top of the rotation; Thornhill Friday; French Saturday. Then figure it out for a best of 3.

So here is my question...the wife and I are going to the river walk (La Mancion) on Friday as part of our wedding present. Where is the best place to watch the game on the riverwalk? Check-in time is at 3 so I will have to have my ass planted well before that if game time is at 2.

agree. UCI takes a 1-0 lead if that ball isn't caught and has a man in 3rd with one out. Season saver for sure.

Miscalculations work out for UT
By Mike Finger
June 18, 2014 | Updated: June 19, 2014
OMAHA, Neb. — When it comes time to tell their grandchildren the story of how they won a College World Series game for Texas, maybe Mark Payton and C.J Hinojosa will tell the version everyone else saw.
Maybe Payton will reminisce about making a catch so spectacular, it made 24,337 mouths gasp at once, and maybe Hinojosa will talk about crushing a home run so unlikely that his coach joked “four players fainted.â€
Or maybe they'll tell the truth about UT's 1-0 victory over UC Irvine on Wednesday, and how they both messed up.
Right before he made a headlong, over-the-shoulder diving grab to preserve a shutout, Payton mistakenly thought he was about to hit the wall and took his eye off the ball.
“I felt like it was in the air forever,†the senior center fielder said.
Right before he launched a ball over the left-field bullpen for the first home run hit by any player in nine wind-suppressed CWS games this week, Hinojosa told himself to hit the ball on the ground.
“I missed my spot a little,†Hinojosa admitted, grinning.
If they keep making miscalculations like those, the Longhorns might never lose again. Those two plays, combined with another sparkling pitching performance from out-of-nowhere postseason ace Chad Hollingsworth, enabled UT (45-20) to survive a second consecutive elimination game at TD Ameritrade Park.
* * * *
“We'll see that catch more than we'll want to,†Gillespie said. “We've seen enough of it already.â€
* * * *
Instead, he hit an Evan Manarino pitch so hard that UT coach Augie Garrido said he “had a mild heart attack.â€
“As soon as I hit it, I knew it was gone,†Hinojosa said.
