Watkins laces a leadoff single into right field. Army wasting no time in answering Texas' three-run second.
Price shows bunt but can't connect and falls behind in the count, 0-2. He'll be swinging away now. Indeed, he does, but Jungmann sits him down with some high cheese. Way said Taylor touched 94 mph with that fastball. Niiiice. One gone, one on first.
Ernesto goes to 2-for-2 on the day by pulling an 0-1 pitch to right. Watkins moves to second, Ernesto on first, one out, Moore up.
Jungmann misses with his first two pitches to Moore. Skip coming out for a conference.
Play resumes and Jungmann comes back with a fastball for a strike. Next fastball misses high; count goes to 3-1. Next pitch misses inside and that loads the bases with one out. Henshaw up.
Henshaw with a great at bat, fouling off four pitches on a 2-2 count. He then works the count full before fouling off two more times. Jungmann then misses high and walks in a run. Army knots the score at 3 apiece. Bases still juiced, one out.
Jungmann jumps in front of McKague, 0-2. Next pitch is fouled out of play. Jungmann misses away for ball one. McKague taps a slow roller to short; no time for two--Loy has to throw to first for the second out. Army scores a run and retakes the lead, 4-3.
Koenigsfeld falls behind, 0-2, then flies to right. Keyes makes the catch to get the Longhorns out of the inning, but not before the Black Knights get two.
Expected better from Jungmann. Hope he settles down, though he won't have much longer--his pitch count must be near 70 already.
To the bottom of the third ...

Jungmann just needed t reach back and get a little more on that fastball. The Army batter was late on all of those.

Bad inning, but could have been a helluva lot worse. Let's get them back.

2-, 3-, and 4-hole hitters to lead off for Texas in the bottom of the third.
Loy works the count to 3-1, then lines the hitter's pitch foul to run the count full. Payoff pitch is grounded to short for out No.1. Torres up.
Torres flies the first pitch he sees to dead center. Ernesto makes a zig-zagging run toward the warning track and then catches the ball over his shoulder as he's falling to rob Torres of extra bases. Tremendous play. Two gone, Belt up.
Belt takes strike one. Next pitch nearly hits him to even the count. Belt skies the 1-1 pitch to left for the third out of the inning.
It's 1-2-3 for Texas for the second time in three innings.

If we have to play again they need to get that umpire off the plate. It looks like this is going to be a high scoring game.

Belt does crowd the plate pretty tight, I don't think the Army pitchers are going at him intentionally, it is just baseball. They battle over the edge of the plate.

Jungmann starts the fourth having already thrown 69 pitches. Just not very sharp today.
Polchinski works the count full, then swings and misses at the next pitch for out No.1. Jungmann now has 4 Ks on the day.
Jungmann falls behind Fleming, 3-1, and Rupp comes out for a talk.
Play resumes, and Fleming swings wildly for strike two. Payoff pitch goes for a ball and Fleming takes first. Jungmann's second walk of the game. Man on, one out.
Army puts on the hit and run and it works to perfection: Watkins chops a 0-1 pitch to right that places runners on the corners with one out and the top of the order up.
Price laces a 1-0 pitch through the left side to score Fleming. Army increases its lead to 5-3. Shinaberry and Workman warming up. Skip makes the call to the pen; Way and Moreland say it'll be Shinaberry. Not a good outing by Taylor.
Shinaberry on in relief. He inherits two baserunners (first and second) and just one out. Ernesto (2-for-2 on the day) is up.
Shinaberry starts Ernesto off with a called strike. Next pitch is lined into right. Keyes relays to second and the runners hold. Bases are juiced, one out, Moore up.
Texas again going to its pen. Shinaberry's out, Workman's in ... and he'll have quite a bit of pressure on him from the get-go.
Moore drills one to Belt that Brandon stops and keeps from escaping the infield. A run scores, but Workman covers the bag for out No.2. Army 6, Texas 3.
Workman sits down Henshaw with a check-swing strikeout and Texas is finally out of the inning.
We need to get some back. On to the bottom of the 4th ...
Elsewhere, UNC eliminates Kansas, 12-1, and wins its regional.
