We got a single and a walk, but I could not believe that with 2 outs and runner on first, Keyes took a 3-0 pitch for a walk. Come on man, swing the bat! .. With 2 on, a long drive that stayed inside the park at the longest part of the field .. 0-0 to top of 2nd.
Brandon is not doing great, but not losing total control either. 3 hits, 3 walks, 3 Ks, 2 runs through three inning. A ton of pitches too. 60 through three innings!
Tucker doubles to start bot 3rd. Yikes, 2 good hits snagged at 2nd base. 2 out. Amazing, how we just cannot hit something to get more runs. 5 hits and a bunch of pretty good contact so far but nothing much to show for it. Total funk, and massive amount of bad luck too. Now a groundout. Leadoff double wated. 1-2 to 4th.
Groundout, walk, groundout, triple. Run scores. 1-3 behind. Now brandon walks one more. Runners on the corner, 2 out. Workman is done for the day. Jungmann comes in after 3.2 innings of work from Workman.
Bot 6th. Leadoff double by Belt. Passe ball moves him to 3rd. Keyes single. Finally. 2-4 !!
Yet another solidly hit ball, but goes to the center fielder. This is unreal. We are actually hitting the ball quite well but stuff just not happening well enough. 1 out.
Top 7th. Leadoff (almost) double kept to a single by the good work from Tant. Sacrifice moves him to 2nd. Nice K by Jungmann for second out. An unofficial intentional walk to Cruz. Now the batter moves into a pitch and gets an HBP. Loaded. 2 outs. HUGE swing and a miss K by Jungmann. Extremely smart pitching there by Jungmann, all through the inning. Superb work, not allowing them to get hold of anything to hit and throwing perfect pitches at perfect times! GO Horns.
5-4 to bot 7th. Let us get some insurance runs, horns.
Pitching change for us, but oh boy. Leadoff walk by Dicharry in 4 pitches. Come on horns, let us not mess around.
Dicharry throws another ball for 5 straight, and Skip comes in wit the hook immediately (first time that Dicharry has had to go three days in a row, so Skip not taking any chances). Austin Wood comes in. Ruffin also warming up.
Crap. A single. Runners and 1st and 2nd and nobody out.
Bunt. 1 out. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.
Another rather unofficial IBB. Loaded with 1 out, again.
Big K for second out.
2-run single. And we are behind ONCE AGAIN. Lord, have mercy on me!
Leadoff walk by us in bot 8th. Ke.Lusson on first.
Loy again beats out a throw on a great bunt.
Preston can't pt a bunt down and strikes out. Come on, man!
Kyle Lusson takes the first two pitches, swings/misses. K again. Yikes.
Bot 9th. Tucker caught looking on an iffy inside 2-2 pitch. 1 out.
Keys groundout. 2 out. Belt goes to third.
Rupp down 0-2. Last pitch. Check swing, appeal, no. 1-2, foul, checkswing again, appeal, no again .. 2-2 .. And he hits a double to left ceter!!!
AND A HIT from Loy .. Pinch runer Etier comes in but is caught at the plate on a very close play. DAMN, so close. What do we have to do to beat a Kansas team, Lord?
6-6 to the 10th inning. Next inning is the last one, as the damn 4.45 pm curfew comes in.
unbelievable....why can't we beat a team from Kansas? Why do we win 10 in a row and then not have the killer instinct this week? Nothing makes sense!!!!
Come on Horns...please pull this out in the bot 10th.
