Texas-Boston College Game Thread

Wood still out there for the bottom of the 12th. He's tossed 65 pitches, per Moreland.

Wiswall goes down swinging for Wood's sixth strikeout in five innings of work. One down.

Belfiore lifts the first pitch to shallow right. Lusson waves everyone off and reaches to make the catch. Two down.

Butera quickly trails in the count, 1-2. Woods 76th pitch of the evening blows by Butera for strike No.3 and out No.3.

To the 13th ...
 
Kind of concerned 2 runs against an unranked team and 3 errors, outside of pitching not exactly playing horn baseball this evening.
 
Jeez...these lefties have stymied the horns.

The BC shortstop and 2nd baseman are playing in the outfield. I'm surprised the horns haven't tried to drag bunt or something to create some offense.
 
Defense wins championships but you cant win if you dont score runs and having the best staff in the country does you no good if you cant frickin score.
 
TEXAS FIGHT!

Problem with this pitcher's duel is Wood entered the game two innings before Belfiore. And now, after 76 pitches and 5 and two-thirds, I'd imagine Woody is done.
 
Amen defense is great but you have to have offense also. These closers will not pitch again in this tournament so huge win whoever wins this game.
 
Rupp begins the 13th for Texas. He's quickly down in the count, 0-2, then waves desperately at strike three. That's FIVE strikeouts for Rupp. Four is the Golden Sombrero ... I've no idea what five Ks is ... other than pathetic.

Loy grounds out for out No.2.

Clark lines one just foul. It would've been extra bases had it not landed wide of the right-field line. Belfiore behind, 3-1. Clark fouls one off to work the count full. Clark drives the payoff pitch down the left-field line for a two-bagger. Man on!!!! Man on!!!!

Lusson up. Two outs. C'mon, Kyle. Come through.

Check that: Tant Shepherd in to pinch hit for Kyle.

Shepherd digs in. Belfiore delivers. Strike one.

Next pitch gets by Shepherd. Strike two.

Tant with a routine grounder to second, and Texas remains 0-for-the-day with runners in scoring position. Awful.
 
Daqmnit. Somebody get an HBP or something. Or jack one out somehow.. Crap.

Come on Horns. 2 down top 13th,

R.J.
 
a base hit??? what the hell?!?! you've got to be shitting me?!!?!?! too bad there's two down. if ever were the time for a clutch hit... Please Lord, come on!
 
I don't believe it: Wood remains on the mound for the bottom of the 13th. Bottom third of the order up for B.C.

Lawrence somehow fouls a ball off his foot out to second base. Count still 2-2. Augie has a word with the ump. Play resumes as Wood paints the outside corner for strike No.3 and out No.1. Terrible video angle, but that pitch looked outside.

Wood quickly ahead of Sudol, 0-2. Next pitch is grounded to Loy, who tosses to Clark at first. Two gone.

Melchionda chops the first pitch to Torres. The throw is on target and in time.

To the 14th ...
 
The number of pitches both ace closers are throwing tonight is exhibit A of why so many Major league teams get hacked at college coaches. Not saying that either team is in the wrong here but this is a heck of a lot of pitches for "closers".
 
What a show by Wood! .. 6.2 innings, ZERO hits, 1 walk, ZERO runs...

Now, somebody get a run somehow .. Please, i am begging you!

R.J.
 
you gotta wonder how eagles fans feel about not being able to hit a closer for 7 ******* innings. lol and to think we're frustrated... this is getting absurd on both sides....
 
Belfiore still in for the top of the 14th. Rowe up.

Rowe gets under the first pitch and flies out to center. One gone. Hernandez up.

Hernandez shows bunt but takes a pitch for strike one. Video getting choppy.

Hernandez runs the count full before singling to right. Man on, one out. I repeat: man on, one out. Tucker up.

Tucker takes a pitch outside for ball one. He then hits a 2-1 pitch to short, who makes the throw to second in time. Looked safe to me, and I honestly believe I'm being objective there. Two gone, Tucker on ... first.

Belt drives one to center for a single. Tucker moves to second. Texas would be leading if that bang-bang call at second had gone the other way. Torres up.

Double steal moves Tucker and Belt to third and second, respectively!!!

Torres runs the count to 2-2, then ends the inning with a strikeout.

We can still win this, but that ump at second base made a bad call. From the poor video we have, the throw looked late.

Anyway, gotta move on. To the bottom of the 14th ...
 
Anyone else seeing a big delay in posts on this board? It's about 9:38 now and I'm seeing posts with a timestamp of 9:03 just loading now.
 
Fwhorn: It is no big deal if the pitcher is not going to pitch again in the regionals. Both these pitchers are done for the regionals, pretty much. Wood is pitching like he is a starter. His pitch count is nothing to worry about...
