Cantu

0-1 take

0-2 swing

1-2 up

2-2 dirt/away

2-2 fouled down 3B line

Single up the middle; will score as an IF single as it glances off the mitt of the P and dies off the back side of the bump.

Not pretty, but a single in the books.

B2 (1 out) Runner on 2B

Johnson

Pitching change for UTSA

JR LHP Hodgson in to pitch to Johnson

 

[GBT]

So far Marlow is the only batter who looked like last year.......Swinging at crap not making pitcher pitch. Others have looked solid early on, going deep into the count. Mayes looking good thus far on the hill after 2 innings.

 

[Johnstark23]

Hodgson has the wild thing look going

UTSA folks in the press box say Burns is battling multiple injuries and was likely only going through the order one time regardless of how he felt.

Markham

Mayes steps off, steps back on

1-0 misses down

Grounder to 3B, deep behind the bag, throw just not quite in time.

IF Single

Runners on 1&2

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Barrera's lack of experience at 1B showed there. 

 

[GBT]

Kid was safe....Boswell had trouble coming out of glove, and we need Clemens at first.....His stretch would have gotten him due to being taller than Barrera.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Beautiful double play.
