Texas v. Louisiana Lafayette

[GemStateJim]

Tyler Frederick.

First pitch flied to right; Keyes runs it down as it heads toward foul territory for the second out.

 

[FWHORN]

No con job Gem the wife gets the taste for something and I go a runnin. Besides I leave and bang two HR's its Karma.

 

[GemStateJim]

Guillory.

Slow roller to second. Etier scoops it and throws to first to end the inning.

Three pitches, three outs. Don't see that very often. Coach Robichoux can't be happy about that.

[GemStateJim]

T.J. Geith out for the eight. I'm calling it--he gets chased this inning as Texas bats around. 9-1-2 hitters on deck, with Etier leading off.

Ball inside nearly hits Jordan, 1-0.
Ball downstairs, 2-0.
Ball low and in, 3-0.
Strike, 3-1.
Strike taken, 3-2.
Liner to right center; Etier rounds first and turns it into two. Leadoff double.

 

[FWHORN]

Nice hit there Jordan now lets get him home and get some insurance.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Great AB, Etier.

Does anybody think Augie doesn't try to bunt him over here??

 

[FWHORN]

This guy is gassed, lets rock him.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

I agree with you, FW. Let's bust this sumbeech open right here.

 

[GemStateJim]

Cohl Walla.

Walla squares to bunt, gets hit, so strike is the call, 0-1.
Ball high and away, 1-1.
Bunt popped foul toward third, 1-2. Expect Walla to be swinging away here.
Ball outside, 2-2.
Foul, 2-2.
Fly to right goes foul, 2-2.
Infield popup to short. Runner does not advance. One away, Loy up.

 

[FWHORN]

Dang it, really needed to get him over to third there.

Come on Brandon, lets get a hit.

 

[GemStateJim]

Brandon Loy.

First pitch popped up to first. Two away. Shepherd up.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Is the batboy handing out fungos?? Come on, Horns, let's get this guy in.

 

[FWHORN]

Dont want to see this opportunity go to waste. Come on Tant big hit time.

 

[FWHORN]

Wasted opportunity there. Hate to see Walla fail to get down bunt and then Loy and Shepherd unable to get a clutch hit.

 

[slugfest]

Apparently can't hit this guy as hard as Mid Tenn St, Troy or Ark St.

 

[GemStateJim]

Two infield popups are as bad as two strikeouts. Poor execution from Walla and Loy there.

Tant Shepherd.

Swing and miss, 0-1.
Ball low, 1-1.
Grounded foul, 1-2.
Swing and miss for strike three.

Terrible inning there. Worthless at bats from Walla, Loy and Shepherd. Etier leads off with a double, yet can't advance. This despite a pitcher who is running on empty.

Love these guys but really question their focus at times.

 

[FWHORN]

Cole for one more than Chance perhaps.

 

[GemStateJim]

Cole Green on the mound for Texas in the bottom of the eighth. Justin Robichoux leads off.

Swing and miss, 0-1.
Another swing and miss, 0-2.
Ball outside, 1-2.
Grounder to short that Loy can't stop. Leadoff single for ULaLa. Somewhat lucky there for Robichoux, who is 3-for-3 on the day.

 

[FWHORN]

crap

blow an opportunity in top 8 and now this.

Ruffin time.

 

[GemStateJim]

Fontenot.

Ball, 1-0.
Throw to first.
Foul, 1-1.
Throw to first.
Ball, 2-1. Green seems like he might be fading.
Ball outside, 3-1.
Rupp to the mound to visit with Cole.
Ball high for a free pass. Runners on first and second with nobody out.

That ends the day for Cole; Harmon makes the call to the pen; Bulldog coming in.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Good outing for Green. Shut it down, Ruffin.

 

[FWHORN]

What was Lusson doing there????

 

[GemStateJim]

Ruffin on in relief of Cole. Olesin in the batter's box with two on and nobody out.

Bunt toward third. Ruffin fields the ball and curiously looks to third. Wastes too much time and by the time he throws to first, the runner is safe. Terrible sequence there. What a nightmare so far.

Bases juiced, no outs.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh, Lusson has to stay on the bag there. He isn't going to throw out the batter either way.

 

[GemStateJim]

Goulah.

Foul, 0-1.
Fly ball to left; Walla throws to home but the throw is WAY off. Run scores. One away with runners on second and first.

Texas appeals but the play stands. 3-2, Texas.

 

[FWHORN]

Ok lets get out of this inning now.

 

[GemStateJim]

Pourier.

Swing and miss, 0-1.
Another swing and miss, 0-2.
Ball inside just misses, 1-2.
Juuuust fouled off, 1-2.
Fouled back, 1-2.
Another foul, 1-2.
Called strike! Two away with runners on first and second. BIG out there. Keefer up.

 

[FWHORN]

Huge K there

Lets get out of this inning

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Uncle Charlie for the KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

1 more, Chance.
