Tevas v. Sam Houston May 17, 2022

[Chop]

3 up
3 down
Again
For Zane Morehouse and the Texas D

 

[Chop]

Faltine tags second and then to Ivan for a double play!

 

[Chop]

This Contreras guy for Sam H is batting over 400 with a bunch of homeruns. He’s from El Paso—like Ivan.

“El Paso” must be Middle Castilian for “Home of the big sluggers.”

 

[Chop]

Cotreras with a double to the wall and an RBI.

7-1 us.

 

[Chop]

Sam’s wild reliever walked Hodo.

 

[Chop]

Sam’s third baseman robbed Ivan. Nice diving catch of a low line drive though.

 

[Chop]

Zane Morehouse
5 innings completed
1 run scored by the opposition
Around 67 pitches
Still going.

This is what we’ve been looking for as a 4th/mid-week starter.

 

[Chop]

Sam’s new reliever gets a place on the all-name team:

Gavi Coldiron

 

[Chop]

Major league play by Sam’s SS right there to make the grab and gun down Ardoin.

 

[Chop]

Another hit by Messinger. Dude’s batting over 360.

 

[Chop]

Start of the 6th.

Enter Southard with his 98 mph fastball.

 

[Chop]

Southard’s living dangerously— hanging some sliders/breaking stuff up high. But he’s getting the outs.

 

[Chop]

Ouch!!

Southard drilled a batter in the ribs with a fastball. And at his velocity—that’s gotta hurt!

 

[Chop]

Balk.

 

[Phil Elliott]

9 more outs to get. 7-1 UT.

 

[Chop]

K to end the inning. Southard set him up with fastballs (maybe a changeup in there too), then got him chasing a slider in the dirt.

Middle of the sixth.

Still 7-1 Horns.

 

[Chop]

Some big dude from New Jersey takes the mound for Sam H.

 

[Chop]

Campbell! Ground rule double!

 

[Chop]

Double Daly!!!!

RBI

8-1

 

[Chop]

Hodo hit on the forearm. Glazing shot. 2 on. No outs.

 

[Chop]

This New Jersey guy likes to live high in the zone. And guess who’s on deck…

 

[Chop]

Todd almost hit into the double play, but he beat the throw to first.

 

[Chop]

He’s not backing down to Ivan. He’s still going high in the zone.

 

[Chop]

E by shortstop on hard grounder.

9-1 us

 

[Phil Elliott]

E6 on the Ivan grounder to plate 1. Now 9-1 Horns with 1 out, bases now loaded after a HBP as I was typing this.

 

[Chop]

New Jersey man nicked Murph on the arm I think. Bases loaded for Silas.

 

[Chop]

Silas popped up

it’s up to Skyler.

 

[Chop]

Out on hard hit grounder up the gut. Good stop by Sam H. It looked like the fielder on second bobbled the pitch/throw, but it’s called out, and no official protest.

Woah! We should protest. TV review shows he never had control of the ball while on the bag.

 

[Chop]

And out comes Pierce to make his case.
