Texas v. Texas State

deep fly ball, c'mon that is all we need......

Did that bounce over the wall? There's a scoring question - if it did, it's a ground-rule double, and scores two runs, not one... or does it? Whatever, it's a W. Gonna be tough to recover from that heat, though.
 
First of three needed.

Offense explodes for 14 hits but only plates 4 or 5 not sure with walk off what official scorer had. Gotta figure Milner tonight with start but unless the offense wakes up the Horns chances to get to next weekend are hanging by a thread and a requirement of the pitchers to be perfect.
 
Gametracker shows 5-3 final so two rbi's.

Have to figure Milner tonight. he faced two batters Friday but should be fully ready. If he gets in any trouble Thornhill (who would be starter tomorrow if not needed today) is available then Carrillo, McKirahan et al. About only ones not available for tonight are Cole, Taylor and Sam.
 
I think you could see Sam and or Taylor on Monday, if we get there. I think you might see Sam tonight if needed.

I am just not sure about us and batting against lefties. Who is Kent State throwing, isn't he another leftie?
 
I think the scoring and game ends when the runner touches home plate.

I remember something about that when Ventura was with the Mets and his wallkoff hit or something like that. I think it was Ventura.
 
I was wrong, the game does not end when the winning run scores. Here is the Ventura Wiki explanation:

The third point above led to Robin Ventura's "Grand Slam Single" in the 1999 NLCS. In the bottom of the 15th inning, the New York Mets tied the score against the Atlanta Braves at 3–3. Ventura came to bat with the bases loaded, and hit a game winning grand slam to deep right. Roger Cedeño scored from third and John Olerud appeared to score from second, but Todd Pratt, on first base when Ventura hit the home run, went to second, then turned around and hugged Ventura, as the rest of the team piled onto the field. The official ruling was that because Ventura never advanced past first base, it was not a home run but a single, and thus only Cedeño's run counted, making the official final score 4–3.

Theoretically, our runners could have all scored today but they stopped running and the ball was declared dead at some point. I think I saw the ball hit the wall and bounce back into play. Not sure if it bounced over the wall what the scoring would be......
 
A Slam is not by rules thou, isn't it by choice? The batter has the choice of what they want I believe.

A ground rule double would be by rule. Note the Ventura grand slam that I quoted above, he was only credited with a single as that was the only base he reached.

I don't know for sure......
