Stanford - game 2

2 walks and a hit to start game, Texas with bases loaded and no outs to start game.

You just have to be smarter on the base paths than that, especially with no outs.

You have to make the line drive go through or make sure it is caught. Just a killer.
 
Another base running error trying to go to third on a ground ball
to short. We have enough trouble scoring without giving away
outs.

Still no score.
 
Peters works around a couple of hits and gets out of a jam.

Still no score after three.

Pitching change for Stanford to start the 4th.
 
Lead off walk for Texas, then a sac bunt.

Then two straight outs and another runner left in scoring position.

Still no score.
 
Lead off single and a wp puts a runner on second with no outs
for the Horns and guess what.

Three straight outs and another scoreless inning for Stanford
pitching. This is really frustrating as Stanford still leads 1-0 to
the bottom of the fifth.
 
Hinojosa doubles with one out, but two ground balls strand yet
another runner in scoring position.

Stanford leads 2-0 to the bottom of the sxth..

Ty Marlow in to pitch for Peters who seemed to be tiring.
Good outing for Peters again, but will get tagged for the
loss if we remain silent with the bats with running in scoring
position.
 
Nothing going right for Texas as Felts drops a foul pop for an
error.
Then Marlow walks him, balks him to second and then a sac
bunt moves him to third with one out.

Pitching change for Texas and Duke is in to face the lefty
hitter.
 
A two out single and now another balk is called and out comes
Augie to complain.

Duke gets out of further trouble and Stanford leads 3-0 after
six innings and it feels like a lot more the way we are hitting or
or not hitting.
 
When you struggle to get anything across a 2 run deficit seems overwhelming and three runs is a canyon between you and the other team.

When it rains it pours.


Texas loads the bases on a single, error, and walk with one out.
Hall has a 3-0 count and then K's and Weis flies out to left.

Stanford still leads 3-0 and it just seems almost like we will never score again.
 
A FC moves the runner to second and a single makes it 4-0
Stanford and this is getting out of hand if it weren't already.

Boardman is removed and the new pitcher for Texas is Cox.
 
Boardman gives up a single to make it 5-0 and he is gone.
Hollingsworth comes in and gives up a single and he is
out.

Runners on first and third as Bellows comes in to pitch.
 
Bellows finally gets a K to end it. This looks like last time we visited the Sunken Diamond now.

Stanford in total control now 7-0.
 
Hall is hbp and with two outs Stell cues one over the pitchers head for an infield single and they move up on a wp.

Weis finally singles on a full count to plate the first Texas runs.
Payton grounds out to end it.

Stanford wins 7-2. Well at least we finally scored.

Bad game all around had base runners all over the place that
were left stranded. Base running errors, one that led to a bases loaded triple play in the 1st. Made some more fielding
errors. Just can't hit in the clutch at all.

I expected a tough series on the road for the first time against
quality competition. But this is pretty bad.

This is why you better take those mid week home games seriously and win as many as possible. You may well need
those down the road as we did last year.

I think Augie may have some things to say after this effort.
I doubt he will be giving a post game interview, but if he does
it might be memorable.

No post game interview due to technical issues they said on
the audio, maybe so they did have some during the broadcast
they said. But I bet Augie had some tech issues himself and
was pretty upset.
