Walla up and Etier gets gunned down by the Aggie catcher

[warrior]

Not a good inning for Texas, to have 2 guys picked off. 3 walks for Texas but no hits.

Gonzalez - F8
Wood - HBP (3-2 count)

Warrior - take over when you want. These updates are cutting into my drinking.

 

[Horn87]

wouldn't want to see the video of Augie on those two...

 

[warrior]

Top of the 3rd, really nothing to report, Texas still has no hits.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Walla drives one to the wall for 1st out.
Felts lazy fly to RF for 2nd.
Loy rips a single to LF - first Horn hit of the game.

Payton with a single thru the box - 1st & 2nd, 2 out

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Tant draws a walk to load the bases.

 

[warrior]

Loy and Payton with 2 out singles and Shepherd walks to load the bases, come on Horns get some runs!

 

[warrior]

Weiss strikes out with the bases loaded. Aggies batting in the third, no score.

 

[Texas___Fight]

 

[H-D Rider]

After 3 innings, Stilson's pitch count has got to be getting up there!

 

[Bill in Sinton]

What a wasted opportunity. Of course having two straight outs didn't help. This is starting to be one of those frustrating games but maybe we can eventually get runs. Come on Horns!

 

[Chest Rockwell]

That was a "tip your cap" pitch by Stilson. Weiss couldn't have done anything with that other than foul it off.

 

[warrior]

Aggies with a leadoff single in the third, hits are even at 2, no score.

 

[warrior]

Aggies bunt the runner to 2nd, 1 out.

 

[warrior]

Aggies get a 2 out single and lead the Horns 1 - 0.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Well it took almost 2 years, but the Aggies have scored at Olsen Field.

 

[warrior]

Horns batting in the 4th trailing 1 - 0.

 

[warrior]

Montalbano with leadoff single and he is bunted to 2nd.

 

[accuratehorn]

Sounds like we have made several crucial mental mistakes, and been hosed on at least two umpiring calls so far. We should be ahead.

 

[accuratehorn]

Now Montalbano with a base hit, bunted to second, and Etier draws the fifth walk of the game from aggy ace. Two on one out.

 

[warrior]

Etier walks, 2 on with 1 out. Come on Horns get a clutch hit.

 

[accuratehorn]

Aggy sends 42 pitchers to the bullpen, Stilson's cheese is starting to smell.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Stilson is on the ropes. 69 pitches so far.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Felts up with runners on 2nd & 3rd. 2 outs

 

[accuratehorn]

Cohl Walla batting, 1-2, now 2-2 on a dirt ball. We need to answer aggy run. Fly to center, both runners move up, Motalbano tagged, Etier advanced on aggy error on throw. But now two outs. Ball 1 to Felts.

 

[accuratehorn]

No error ruled on the bad throw, home field scoring.
Now it is 2-2, now 3-2 on a pitch that almost hit the batter.
Easy out ground ball, this is the suck so far.
