Texas v. Alabama February 25-27, 2022

[HornHuskerDad]

Now runners on 2nd and 3rd, two out.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Flyout to RF ends the inning. 4-1, Texas, going to top of 7th.

 

[Phil Elliott]

It took Bama 22+ innings to plate their 1st run against us. They cant feel too good down 3 with 3 innings left to play.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Very nice throw by catcher to pick off the runner at first - big out! Now runner on 3rd, 2 outs. And a strikeout to end the inning. Bama threatens, but no damage. On to bottom of 7. Still 4-1, Good Guys.

I see Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Company is still a sponsor of Longhorn Sports. Maybe it's time for some more insurance... Campbell is in scoring position on third...

 

[Phil Elliott]

Horns threatening again with runners on the corners 1 out.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Balk called now 5-1 Texas.

 

[Chop]

Balked him in!!!!
5-1 Horns

[Phil Elliott]

Stehly with a triple to plate Hodo. 6-1 UT.

 

[Chop]

I don't care how either of them spell it. Guys named "Staley" sure are good for Longhorn Baseball!!!

 

[Chop]

Now that was some good fielding by the opposition's 3rd baseman. Gotta give credit where it's due.

 

[Phil Elliott]

3 outs to get for the sweep.

Horns win 6-1!

[Chop]

8-0

#1 in the Nation

Allowed 1 run for Alabama during the entire series

Freakishly awesome pitching staff & D

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Very nice series sweep. Bama scored 1 run in three games.

 

[Chop]

I'd say Witt has certainly established himself as a legitimate weekend starter--for the Nations top team.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

And the Horns have shown they can win close games. It's always nice to get a 10-run lead, but that won't happen every time - to keep winning, they need to win the close ones.

Re: Alabama pitching

There was a drop off from McMillan (who in normal years would be a weekend starter for us--he's really good). There was another drop off from 2nd game starter Jean. And their bullpen quality and depth was just average--real pedestrian.

This pitching staff is possibly the best and deepest I've ever seen in college baseball.

Through 8 games this team has given up 4 earned runs for a 0.50 team ERA. We were 3rd in the nation coming into this series. Bama wasn't just some scrub team either.

#1 in ERA UCF gave up 5 earned runs this weekend against Ga Southern and Pacific got blown out so we should have the #1 ranked staff in the country when stats are updated tomorrow.
