NCAA Super Regional: Texas v. USF

[Phil Elliott]

I was at the game. This team did what it has been doing all year long - when they get scored on, they come right back and score the next time at bat. They got a little help in the fielding error that let Ardoin on, but EK took advantage.

Phil - on TV the home crowd sounded pretty vocal and loud at times during the game. Was crowd louder at the game last night than a conference game?

Best crowd this year for sure but most games have not been 100% capacity so hard to say.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

And away we go with game 2.

 

[Phil Elliott]

BTW Kennedy was never 'benched'. They sometimes substitute Dylan Campbell for EK when the pitcher is a lefty.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

That almost looked like a golf swing on that hit.

 

[WorsterMan]

GIT 'ER DONE HORNS!!!!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Nice steal!

 

[Chop]

Hmmmmm

We’re swinging at more than a few pitches clearly out of the strike zone.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Ouch. That really sucked.

 

[ViperHorn]

Hmmmmm

We’re swinging at more than a few pitches clearly out of the strike zone.

So status quo.

Horns behind 2-0 in the second.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

So the Horns need a come-from-behind tonight - they can do it. Lots of innings left.

Potentially high scoring game tonight. I like our chances with our pitching staff settling down.

 

[Chop]

Nice grab butterfingers!

 

[Chop]

Nice execution Kennedy for the sac fly and tag.

3-2 Horns.

Fielders choice.

4-2 Horns.

 

[Chop]

Sullivan likely won’t last much longer…

 

[Chop]

Collin Sullivan, 3.69 ERA, 3-3, 88 SO, 14 walks.
Right hander. Low 90s fastball and a "sharp" curveball, resulting in many strikeouts. Starts and relieves. Prone to the occasional really bad inning.

4 runs and a man on. Bad inning indeed.

 

[Chop]

Sullivan gets the hook.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

4 runs and a man on. Bad inning indeed.

And it cost him and the team.

 

[Chop]

This reliever is pretty good, and he can go for a lot of innings. There's a long way left to go in this game.

Orion Kerkering 2.28 ERA, 5-3, 60 SO, 30 walks, 5 saves
Right hander. Big strong pitcher 6'2" 204. Fastball and sinker. Likes to "live low in the zone." Relief pitcher who can start; sometimes the closer. Got the save against Florida in the regionals. Got the deciding win over So. Alabama in the regionals as a reliever with 4.1 innings pitched.

Need 2 runs off this guy.

 

[WorsterMan]

TEXAS, FIGHT!!!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Nice grab butterfingers!

I love it when 2 guys go after it and they both come up empty-handed.

 

[Chop]

Indeed! As long as we're talking about the opponent's two fielders...

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

I love it when 2 guys go after it and they both come up empty-handed.

Unless they are wearing burnt orange. Then it sucks.

 

[Chop]

Stephens has settled down. 10 pitches 2nd inning. In the groove.

Long way to go.

 

[Chop]

I like/don't like the tactic of S. Florida putting that big tall homerun hitter as their leadoff batter. They know we don't want to throw to the guy. We'll have to see him more than any other hitter.
