Gurwitz leads off the Texas eighth and you know the OSU closer will be up and ready at a moment's notice now.
He faces Robinette now and he pops up a bunt for one away.
Marlow up at the top of the order with one down.
The count runs full and he walks for the tenth walk of the game for the Horns.
Johnson up with one down and one on.
A fly ball goes to left for two away.
Payton bats with two down and one on.
Well Mark can you take one out of the yard to tie things.
Not this time as a grounder to second ends the inning.
Eight played in this one and OSU leads 6-4 and you can bet the closer will start the ninth.

First game today, Horns lead nearly the whole game 1-0, before giving up 3 in the 8th and losing. Tonight, they go up 4-3, then give up 3 again in the 8th, to trail going into the 9th. Need a small miracle to pull this out. We can't put teams away with a super closer, and OSU does what good teams do. Find a way to score late to win. Come on Horns.

John Curtis is back again as the ninth starts.
He was shelled in the first game and took the loss.
He faces Case leading off.
He K's swinging for one away as the 2-3 put out completes the play.
Saxton is the top of the order with one away.
A chopper to first is two down.
Cornell bats with two away.
A big hook gets him swinging to retire the side in order.
One chance left for Texas as OSU leads 6-4.

Robinette stays on for the ninth as the closer stays in the pen.
Barrera leads off for the Horns batting righty.
A ground ball toward the hole and the diving attempt by the third baseman goes off his glove for a lead single.
Hall runs for Barrera at first.
Carter bats as the tying run with no outs.
I bet the closer is up now for OSU.
No, it's a lefty up in the pen.
A fly ball goes to left and the centerfielder drops it and then Hall goes for third and is thrown out for one away.
Hall held up and then went for third in a crazy play all around.
So Carter is at first with one out instead of the tying runs on with no outs.
Texas keeps shooting itself in the foot.
So Hinojosa up with one down and one on and he drops a single in right to put the tying runs on.
If Texas loses now they will remember that play and all the men left on base.
Shaw bats with one down and two on.
A ground ball to second is two down and the tying run is in scoring position now.
A new centerfielder comes into the game for OSU.
So it's up to Clemens with two down.
A ground ball goes to second to end the game.
OSU wins 6-4 and give me a few minutes to reflect and sum up this mess.

Well that was ugly wasn't it, as a late lead is blown again to lose both games today.
Runners left on base everywhere as Texas had ten walks in the game. Payton kept Texas in the game.
Then for some reason the coaching staff leaves in a spent French to blow the lead and add one.
Finally Texas has a chance to at least tie the game on a big error by the OSU centerfielder, but a baserunning mistake by a pinch runner no less snuffs that out.
I'm sorry, but I don't see Texas hosting a Regional and as I said earlier, going to Rice as a #2 seed wouldn't be a bad thing for this team.
Texas now has a 3-9 record against the top three teams in the conference and though they come close many times, they just never seem to get over the hump in must games.
We all just have to wait for tomorrow and Monday to see where and who Texas will play in a Regional now.
