[TheWalkingHorn]

It was a hot one out there today, but I loved being back at the Disch!

 

[giveemhell]

Could be, or DuP as a starter for an inning or two...

Please, no...

 

[WorsterMan]

Great seat and view WH!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

One down... many to go.

Bill in Sinton: Focusness Horns!!

 

[aUTfan]

Our Bats were hot
I count 12 hits. That's outstanding!


Our #1 National Fielding % Matters
Also, UT has the #1 fielding % in the country. Errors on us are few and far between. Early in the game, Air Force got to see what a few errors (on AF's D) can do to your momentum and to the scoreboard. Our first point or two were largely due to Air Force errors.

That is super important, good pitching and defense will win more games than offense.

Good to see you back WH... you should post more often!

 

[Chop]

La Tech’s bats caught fire in the 5th and 6th innings. They now lead DBU 11-4.

 

[giveemhell]

Down year for DBU, but we still need to hire their coach after Pierce leaves (whenever that might be).

 

[aUTfan]

La Tech’s bats caught fire in the 5th and 6th innings. They now lead DBU 11-4.

Yeah, after the in the park grand slam I switched to the tcu/Louisiana game.

 

[mchammer]

Yes, but our pitching drops off significantly in games 3-5. At that point, we need fielding and batting.

 

[FWHORN]

Gordon gets out of first no damage. Horns get two men on base from hit by pitch themselves in the bottom of first but strand both. 0-0 through one.

 

[aUTfan]

Gordon needs to keep the ball down in the zone. Keeps throwing too high

 

[FWHORN]

Gordon gives up a single and a double in the top of the second but strands them both in scoring position. Playing with fire but still 0-0 headed to bottom of second.

 

[aUTfan]

HR Campbell, on a rope!! 1-0 horns

 

[aUTfan]

Dang, third bean of the game already and beaned the wrong one, Faltine doesn’t take that lightly, mouthing to the pitcher.

 

[FWHORN]

1-0 Texas through two full.

 

[aUTfan]

Living dangerously but Gordon getting it done. LT left two on again but no runs. See if we can get some runs now.

 

[FWHORN]

Gordon keeps playing with fire in the top of third but gets k with runners on corners and strands two more (that is 6 through 3 innings). Horns need to get bats going.

 

[FWHORN]

Had to step away for a bit, it’s now 1-1 in top of fifth. Horns have got to get some offense going.

 

[FWHORN]

Tristan Stevens now in for Gordon in the sixth still tied 1-1 with runner on first.

 

[FWHORN]

Gordon went 5 and a third, gave up nine hits and one earned run and is responsible for runner on first. Stevens gets pop out but then gives up single and there are runners on the corners.

 

[FWHORN]

Tristan gets huge K to end threat. Headed to bottom of sixth still tied 1-1.

 

[FWHORN]

Horns get base runner in bottom of sixth but can’t do anything, La Tech starting pitcher is in the 90’s with his pitch count but is in control. Headed to seventh 1-1.

 

[mchammer]

Gordon, not throwing his best, only allowed 1 run. Gamer.

 

[FWHORN]

Tristan gets out of seventh with no damage stranding two. All day the Horns have played with fire. Got to get some runs as at stretch it’s still 1-1.

 

[mchammer]

We need the runs.

 

[FWHORN]

Horns finally chase La Tech starter and have runner on first with one out in bottom of seventh.

 

[WorsterMan]

Ivan RBI !!

2 -1 Horns baby!!

 

[FWHORN]

Melendez with RBI single and Texas retakes lead 2-1, runners on corners.

 

[WorsterMan]

Staley RBI !!
3-1 Horns!!!
