Texas v. Oklahoma State April 29-May 1, 2022

[FWHORN]

The Horns host by far the biggest weekend series of the season to date as two top ten teams meet in Austin with national seed implications and Big XII title aspirations on the line. Hansen and Gordon need to continue their season long form and Tristan Stevens absolutely has to show up Saturday for Texas to win this series and stay in the national seed race.

The games are all on LHN.

I have tix for the game tonight, but haven't been to the Disch in a while. Any advice on the easiest parking option these days? Does that nearby church (Rising Star Baptist) still sell parking in its yard, or is that only during playoffs?

We parked at the stadium parking without a problem. Buying pass online was $8, it was $10 if drove up at game time.

Every game I attend I park in the neighborhoods East of the stadium. Closer to the stadium is mostly marked no parking, but if you're willing to walk 3 to 4 blocks there is plenty of free parking.

Moderate winds 11 mph from the SSE (towards left
field). A good night for Ivan, Murph, Trey, Silas, and crew to knock some out of the park.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Campbell sure seems to be getting calls that Hansen is not.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Melendez homers to tie it at 1-1. We have 2 hits and both are by Ivan.

 

[Phil Elliott]

OSU gets 3 runs on 3 hits including a 2-run HR to make 4-1 Pokes.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Texas answers with 3 in the 5th now tied 4-4 going to 6th.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

 

[WorsterMan]

Texas answers with 3 in the 5th now tied 4-4 going to 6th.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Hansen giving up dingers. Pokes have 4 so far. Its 6-4 them with no outs in the 6th. Sigh.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Texas scratches out a run on 2 hits and an error in the 7th. Now 6-5 OkSt. Nixon now on in relief going into the 8th.

 

[WorsterMan]

T8: 6-5 Pokes.

Nixon needs to close the door!

 

[WorsterMan]

FINE CATCH & FABULOUS THROW BY FALTINE TO GET THE FIRST OUT!!

 

[Chop]

Great play by Faltine indeed!

 

[WorsterMan]

T E X A S ! ! !

F I G H T ! ! !

 

[Chop]

Nixon showed pretty good control and his usual good stuff. I’d expect him to be back in the 9th.

Now a run or two (or more) for us would be nice …

 

[Chop]

Messinger with a homer!!!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Damn fine HR for Skylar !!!!

 

[Chop]

The Big Coloradan jacks it over the left field fence.

TIE BALLGAME

 

[WorsterMan]

6-6 baby.... Longhorn magic time!

 

[Chop]

Messinger + Faltine + Campbell

Now that’s some good power in the BOTTOM PART OF OUR LINEUP!!!

 

[Phil Elliott]

6-6 going to the 9th after Messinger hits his 2nd HR of the night.

 

[Chop]

Faltine talks to his bat

 

[Chop]

C’mon Nixon!

Keep holding them to nothing, and our bats will put up some points.

 

[WorsterMan]

Crap ! Poke on 1st....

 

[Chop]

Ha! Nice fielding play by Nixon. Out at 3rd!

 

[WorsterMan]

HUGE out at 3rd!

Pokes man on 1 and 2 - 1 out... T9th.
