[aUTfan]

Ground out to 1b, unassisted.

 

[aUTfan]

Gasparino pop up behind the plate. End of the 2nd.

 

[aUTfan]

Lead off single to rf.

Cincinnati keeps putting the ball in play. No walks and no k's yet, defense has had to make a play on every batter.

 

[aUTfan]

and we finally turn a DP

2 outs. Flores-O'Dowd-Thomas

 

[aUTfan]

Double off the right center field wall.

 

[aUTfan]

FO to left. End of the top half of the 3rd.

 

[aUTfan]

Between inning discussion for all you guys on this game thread

Pitching - We've burned up Ace and Dup.

If we win today, we still have:

Grubbs for tomorrow
LBJ for the next game

 

[aUTfan]

O'Dowd FO to lf 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

Good discussion guys. Can't wait till the next mid inning discussion.

 

[aUTfan]

Thomas grounds out to pitcher. 2 outs.

 

[aUTfan]

Flores FO to rf. End of the 3rd, still Cincy 1-0.

 

[aUTfan]

Mid inning discussion:

Winner of this game plays the loser of the OSU/Tech game being played later tonight.

Who would you rather play? OSU and Tech are likely out of pitching for a 3rd game and I thought we would be but we still have a couple left.

 

[aUTfan]

Another awesome mid inning discussion, i can't agree or disagree with anyone's input on that.

lead off single for the Bearcats.

 

[aUTfan]

Easy ground ball to O'Dowd and everyone safe, O'Dowd tried to make a tag on the runner going to 2nd and then throws to 1st. Couldn't make the tag and by then the runner was safe at 1st.

Gage Boehm warming up.

 

[aUTfan]

And now a BB. Bases loaded, no outs.

 

[aUTfan]

and Hurley can't go more than 3 innings. The powerhouse Cincy baseball program that isn't going to make the tournament has Texas on the ropes.

Enter Boehm.

 

[aUTfan]

Boehm induces a DP, 2 outs but Cincy scores another run. Runner on 3rd, 2 outs.

 

[aUTfan]

our first k of the game. End of the top half of the 4th. Cincy 2-0.

 

[aUTfan]

Due up:

Powell
Belyeu
Schussler

This lineup is struggling today and considering they underachieved in the game last night i would say they have hung their pitchers out to dry so far in the Big XII tournament.

 

[aUTfan]

Powell with the 1st hit of the game, lead off single through the left side.

 

[aUTfan]

and just like that Belyeu ties up the game, no doubt HR!!!

 

[aUTfan]

Schuessler combacker, 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

Brown drops a beautiful bunt down the 3rd base line for a base hit.

 

[aUTfan]

Very good try by the 3rd baseman but 1st baseman couldn't come up with the throw or Brown might have been out.

 

[aUTfan]

Galvan hard hit ball down the 3rd base line with a bad hop and all are safe, 2 on, 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

Quick mound visit, Gasparino up.

Gasparino attempts a bunt but foul.

 

[aUTfan]

Gasparino nails the 3rd base line and scores Brown, Galvan moves to 3rd and Gas on 2nd.
