Runner steals second and now 2-1 count.

Nixon wanted to play with them, like a cat, before he pounced for the final kill.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Well we didnt play like #1 tonite but you gotta be able to win ugly sometimes.

 

[Chop]

One weird (and costly) inning where we fielded like Rice. Hope we got that out of our system. Blame it on the cold….

 

[FWHORN]

3 errors was really the difference in the game being so close or being a solid kind of mid week win. TAMU CC only had two hits so it was self inflicted wounds that led to a closer than it needed to be game. Silver lining is that Texas had to play three innings late of tight ball to get the win and Nixon had a chance to get a save. Alabama comes to town Friday for a three game set.

 

[Chop]

Skye Messinger with the go-ahead deep sac fly!!!

5-4 us

I’m tellin y’all — that dude is clutch. It ended up the difference in the game.

Fairgrounds Field - Robstown, Texas


Saw an Aviators game there at least 15 years ago in someone's luxury suite; watched the Longhorns in a super regional against Vanderbilt. Lot of events still held nearby at the Bourchard fairgrounds.

Last night's game at Whataburger field was about as cold as a baseball game ever needs to be. Was 37 degrees as i was walking to my truck. Really enjoyed sitting by the longhorn dugout and seeing the players up close. Was really tickled to be able to watch Nixon close the islanders out.
