Texas v. Texas Southern May 10, 2022

[Chop]

Ardoin 6-11 with bases loaded and 18 RBIs. Thats just crazy.

Ardoin is French for “clutch”.

 

[Chop]

Triple by Daly!!!

 

[Chop]

Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok.

It’s get as many pitchers as possible more experience night.

Southard is in with his 97mph fastball in the bottom of the 5th.

 

[Chop]

And Southard mows them down. Get his head focused and he’s dangerous with that high 90s stuff.

Still 11-1 us.

 

[Chop]

Southard can pitch pretty dern well when he’s not getting jobbed by an ump on balls and strikes calls…

 

[Chop]

Another scoreless inning by Southard. 4Ks for Southard on the night in two innings.

Going to the bottom of the 6th.

11-1 Horns.

 

[aUTfan]

Exactly what we needed, pitchers get innings against live bats. Need to do the same agains Kansas, surprised Nixon hasn't been seen yet. he needs innings.

 

[aUTfan]

and so does Stevens.

 

[aUTfan]

good to see Harrison and Olivarez did their job. Thats a step.

 

[Chop]

LBJ gave up a few hits, one may have been an error.

Play at the plate…

He’s outta there!!!

11-2 Horns.

To the bottom of the 7th.

 

[Chop]

good to see Harrison and Olivarez did their job. Thats a step.

Harrison and Olivarez both threw well, as did Southard.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Sending the runner was a dumb move for TSU. Youre down 9 runs, dont run yourself out of an inning like that.

 

[Chop]

Backups like Kash and Whitehead have been in and are getting to bat.

 

[Chop]

TSU’s current pitcher is rather…enthusiastic…

 

[Chop]

3 up
3 down
By LBJ and the Horn D in the 8th

including one very good play by Messinger.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Messinger bangs one off the back wall of TSUs bullpen to make it 12-2 Horns.

 

[Chop]

Woah!

Skye Messinger drills a high line drive over the LF fence. 395 feet.
9 HR for the year for the Big Coloradan.

12-2 Horns!

 

[Chop]

O’Dowd and Constantine are also getting to play and bat.

 

[Chop]

O’Dowd rips a single into CF. Runners on the corners. Two away.

 

[Chop]

Top of the 9th.
Enter Nixon.

 

[mchammer]

and so does Stevens.

I wonder if Stevens needs to rest his arm. It would explain the minimal innings played.

 

[Chop]

O’Dowd is no Faltine in the field…

granted, that was a rather fast runner who beat out the throw to first…

 

[Chop]

I wonder if Stevens needs to rest his arm. It would explain the minimal innings played.

He’s still the same young man who mowed them down last year and early this year. Gotta get inside the head working right, and regain his former precise control.

 

[Chop]

Nixon came out throwing strikes and got the save.

 

[Chop]

12-2 final

 

[aUTfan]

Nixon came out throwing strikes and got the save.

great, all the pitchers that pitched today need to see Kansas and grow that confidence.

 

[Creek]

It is a win, but TSU is probably the worst team we have played. So hard to say anything here. Other than it adds to our win total.
From what I understand if you get to 40 wins you probably get a regional
