4:55 P.M. Texas-Mizzou Elimination Game II

[FWHORN]

Aggy has beaten K-State so winner plays them tomorrow for tournament championship.

I am pretty meh about this game. Want to win but frankly at this point Texas should have done enough to clinch a national seed and you dont want to use up arms or have any injuries so safety first today and if necessary tomorrow.

Just read on Bevo Beat that Thornhill is pitching for the Horns. Big 12 site now has the game at 4:55.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Bevo Beat says that Kelly Fick will start for the Tigers. Fick is a reliever and this is his first start of the season. Record is 1-2 with a 4.98 ERA. Hope our bats can get to him early.

 

[FWHORN]

I guess Milner is also available along with McKirahan. Play for today but dont use anyone so much that they cant come back next week with full rest.

Thanks for the updates. I am on a golf course in Denver, CO, so keep the updates coming.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Did the pre game announcers just say Milner is pitching? I guess Bevo Beat was wrong.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Seems to be standing room only again.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Milner looked sharp.

Bill said they only sold 3-4K tourney tickets and none of the games have had that much.

TIME FOR THE TOURNEY TO COME TO ROUND ROCK. or at least Frisco.

 

[ElginHotSausage]

Mizzou takes a 1-0 lead on a two out double in the 2nd inning.

 

[TXbigdog]

Is the video run by amateurs or what? Seems like the Big12 could do better than this.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Milner allowed two hits, single and a double as the Tigers take the lead 1-0.

 

[ElginHotSausage]

the Horns are 6 up and 6 down.
trail 1-0 after 2 inn.

well, we didn't see it, thanks to the interns doing their spring video project, but Loy made a diving catch for the 3rd out.

 

[ElginHotSausage]

still nothing 9 up 9 down for UT.
through 3, trail 1-0

 

[FWHORN]

Bats really silent early.

 

[ElginHotSausage]

mizzou 4th:
a groundout but now two walks has Milner in trouble

 

[ElginHotSausage]

Hoby gets a fly out to center and a K to get out of it. on to bot of 4

 

[FWHORN]

Big K there to end threat, now lets get some runs Horns.

 

[FWHORN]

Leadoff single and SAC bunt so Horns have shot here.

 

[FWHORN]

Grounder moves runner over but two down for Weiss with runner on third.

 

[FWHORN]

Weiss grounds to second to end inning.

Insert my annual I hate giving up outs with the bunt rant here (and yes Augie has forgotten more baseball then I will ever know and I concede he is best coach in college ball but I really cannot stand his always bunt strategy).

 

[ElginHotSausage]

Loy breaks up the perfect game with a single
Payton sacs him to 2nd
and goes to 3rd on Shepherd ground out, where he dies on a Weiss groundout.
Horns have hit at least 5 groundouts to 2B
through 4, trail 1-0

 

[ElginHotSausage]

quick inning for Milner,
on to bottom of 5

 

[FWHORN]

Quick 1-2-3 for Hoby there pitching well, needs some run support.

 

[FWHORN]

Lead off single.

 

[Horns11]

Didn't last long

This team doesn't have the potency to do anything other than strand players.
