Texas v. Baylor Game 2

[FWHORN]

Another K.

 

[Horn2Run]

Moldy can't check, strikes out. On to the 14th.

Gotta give their staff a lot of credit, too. Been a pitching classic w/ some defensive gems by both teams

 

[Horn2Run]

Hoby -cool as a cucumber, handles a well laid bunt...1 out

Milner is awesome.

Fly out--- 2 away.

 

[Horn2Run]

....and a fly out to end t14....come on Horns!

 

[GemStateJim]

Thanks for the updates, Horn2Run. You're a minute or two ahead of GameTracker.

 

[FWHORN]

4 perfect innings for Milner in relief, will the offense reward him?????

 

[Horn2Run]

Monty...!!!! double to lead off

 

[Max Powers]

going with the freshman...

 

[GemStateJim]

YES, YES, YES! Let's end this, 'Horns!

 

[FWHORN]

Way to go Paul, now lets get him home.

 

[Max Powers]

and the freshman delivers! Montalbano double!

 

[FWHORN]

Intentional walk here?

I guess so.

 

[Horn2Run]

Intentional walk....runners at first and 2nd, no out.

Monty worked the pitcher, 6 pitches before the double....and the P almost tossed a wild pitch while giving the base....pinch hitter for Connor, Weymouth.

 

[GemStateJim]

Pinckard falling behind the hitters now. Seems like his arm is done, as it should be--dude went 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and walking two. Nobbad for an ace closer ...

 

[FWHORN]

Come on Jordan lets at a minimum advance the runner to third, or end this thing now.

 

[Horn2Run]

looking like a sac bunt AB ll the way....get it done, guys.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

[Horn2Run]

BASE HIT!!!

Ballgame

great victory for the Horns! Always good to find a way to win when the bats just don't seem to be working.

So does that give us the most consecutive conference victories record?

Allsome. Thanks for the continued updates, everyone!

 

[FWHORN]

Incredible pitching from Cole, Chance and Hoby, this staff is awesome. On a sour note you have to be disappointed with the offense particularly the 16 strikeouts. Hopefully tomorrow is the typical Sunday and the bats wake up.

16 straight in conference, 19 straight overall. Tomorrow can clinch no worse than a share of the Big XII regular season title and perhaps the outright title.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Great updates

 

[GemStateJim]

Indeed a great--but frustrating--ballgame. Glad our 'Horns could pull it out and keep the winning streak alive. Also hats off to 'em for making history--with tonight's victory, they now own the Big 12 record of consecutive conference wins.

Props to Augie for his pinch-hitting substitutions. As with many others, I'm not a fan of Augie's "defensive substitutions" in close games, but his offensive decisions made the difference tonight--Montalbano goes 1-for-2 with a walk, including a lead-off double that ultimately results in the game-winning run, and Weymouth steps in and delivers with a walk-off double.

Still, most of the praise belongs to the Texas pitching staff: 14 innings, one run, seven hits, two walks, one hit by pitch and 11 strikeouts. And though Cole's run was presumably earned, I'll walk out on a short limb and state that he probably notches his third-consecutive complete-game shutout if not for an error and a passed ball in the top of the ninth.

Congrats to Augie & Co. for winning yet another series and preserving their four-game lead on K-State. Get some rest and good luck tomorrow, team!

 

[Horn2Run]

I give BU's arms some credit, FW. A lot of those pitches had perfect location.

As the game wore on we got frustrated it seemed. Good pitching does that (now we know how the rest of the b12 feels).

Tonites W ties anm's consecutive conf win streak...break it tomorrow w/ a win.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

That many K's can't be a fluke. BU pitching deserves props.
