The game begins with Gage Green, the Cowboy catcher leading off against lefty Dillon Peters on the mound for Texas.
You don't see many catchers in the lead off position in a high level of baseball, Biggio did and some others. Still it's rare.
Green steps batting left handed. OSU is wearing some very bright orange "Halloween" looking uniforms that they use to wear back in the 8i0's that I remember and didn't like them then either.
He flairs one the opposite way that drops in front of Johnson for a lead off single.
Donnie Walton, the shortstop, bats righty with one on.
He tries to bunt and fouls two off.
He gets the bunt down with two strikes, but Peters fields and goes to second for a 1-6 force for one down.
The relay was late to first.
First baseman, Tanner Krietemeier, bats righty with one down and one on.
A pitch in the dirt goes as a wild pitch to send the runner to second.
He K's swinging on high heat out of the strike zone for two away.
Zach Fish, is the DH, and bats right handed with two down and a runner at second.
He flies one to right center that Payton ranges over and makes the catch to retire the side.
A base runner and nothing more. So Texas comes to bat for the first time looking to get on the board first.

OSU wins 2-1.
Again Texas can't hit decent pitching and it results in another loss. Two hits won't get it done in many games. It's just the way these games go. Sometimes Texas wins if the pitching is just outstanding.
It's a fine line to walk and today it was just too narrow a line again.
At least Payton coninued his streak.
Somehow you knew it would probably come down to a third game and it has.
OSU will now remain ahead of Texas no matter what happens tomorrow. It's a must win for Texas if it has hopes of winning the conference.
Hopefully some kind of offense will show up tomorrow and Thornhill will keep the pitching at it's usual level.
Clemens bats lefty with one down.
The count goes full and he K's swinging for two away.
Felts is Texas's last hope with two down.
The count runs full as it has all day it seems.
He walks to put the tying run on with two down.
Hall comes in to run for Felts.
So it is now up to Marlow who is still hitless in the series.
A fly ball goes to right and the wind knocks it down and the catch is made and that ends the game.
OSU wins 2-1.
Again Texas can't hit decent pitching and it results in another loss. Two hits won't get it done in many games. It's just the way these games go. Sometimes Texas wins if the pitching is just outstanding.
It's a fine line to walk and today it was just too narrow a line again.
At least Payton coninued his streak.
Somehow you knew it would probably come down to a third game and it has.
OSU will now remain ahead of Texas no matter what happens tomorrow. It's a must win for Texas if it has hopes of winning the conference.
Hopefully some kind of offense will show up tomorrow and Thornhill will keep the pitching at it's usual level.
Yep, runs are a struggle for us.
So we've scored five runs in the last five conference games. No wonder we are 1-4 in those games. This team has regressed since the start of the season.
