Sooners Go Down

[Chop]

2 runs for OU.

 

[Chop]

That’s the extent of the damage. Nixon living dangerously.

2-1 them going into the eighth.

 

[Chop]

Whitehead in for Kennedy — base hit to LF.

 

[Chop]

Two batters really chased balls well out of the strike zone for Ks.

 

[George Bailey]

Can we say Ivan is in a slump, or are we just seeing better pitchers than we did early in the season?

 

[Chop]

Nixon is out. Morehouse in.

Wasn’t Ivan on fire against Tech?

 

[Chop]

Morehouse throwing 96mph.

 

[George Bailey]

Oh for sure, but during the last three games including today, it just looks like he's not seeing the ball and sometimes swings to protect the plate. His strike three of his last SO was pretty weak.

 

[Chop]

Homerun Silas!!!



4-2 them

 

[Chop]

He walked Daly. 2 on. Winning run at the plate.

 

[Chop]

Diving catch in OF ends it.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

I guess we decided to mix it up and win just the first game of the series instead of the third.

What makes you think we will lose tomorrow?

 

[aUTfan]

It’s never good if our offense can’t score a run in 5-6 innings, some how the offense faltered today.

Saturday game reviews:

No. 8 Texas beats Oklahoma, 7-1, behind Pete Hansen gem - Burnt Orange Nation

Oklahoma rallies late in 4-2 win over No. 8 Texas - Burnt Orange Nation

 

[Chop]

Hope Kennedy is ok. He painfully left the game (while on second base) with a dinged up knee that was beaned while he was at bat.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Once again, I find myself having to say, 'I don't understand the balk rule.'

 

[FWHORN]

Watching this in person today has frankly been no fun at all. I was at opener and now this one and it looks like two very different teams. Absent a real turnaround today, the Horns are digging one heck of hole for the Big XII, for a National seed or even a regional seed.

 

[George Bailey]

Charlie foxtrot. Soup Sandwich.

But at least home tix and parking will be easier to come by now.

 

[Chop]

Gordon has his worst outing, but Harrison is throwing well, and the game is within reach. OU will have to hit their bullpen soon.

 

[FWHORN]

I am a generally positive fan and everything about this team says they are an elite group with top level pitching talent and a lineup the likes of which we haven’t seen in Austin for at least a decade. They can still turn it around today and this season but they sure don’t seem to be in any hurry to do so. Making another scrub pitcher look like an MLB prospect.

 

[Chop]

Murph knocks an RBI in.

 

[Chop]

And Chazz gets the hook
Hit the showers.
Enter Big Ben Abram. 6’7”

Abram had a good inning against us in a previous game.

 

[Chop]

2 men on. One out. Silas up to bat

 

[Chop]

K. Chasing…

It’s up to Skye Messinger.

 

[Chop]

Ground out.

4-1 them

 

[FWHORN]

Pouring gasoline on the fire as walk and infield single start OU’s sixth and Harrison gets the hook.

 

[Chop]

Exit Harrison
Enter Olivares

 

[Chop]

And Olivares gives up a three run homer…
