McElroy long time no see is at first tonight as part of the line up changes after the many errors and near errors last night.

Peters starts the fourth with a HBP to put the lead off man on.

The next hitter pops up a 2-0 pitch and we used to say thank you very much for that because it was ball three. Instead it's out one.

A single to right puts two on with one away.

Next man with a perfect drag bunt past the pitcher on the right side is a hit to load the bases with one away.

Skip out to just say get them out please and don't make errors and decide where to play the defense.

Looks like at double play depth.

A foul pop to first is a big out two to have a chance to get of the inning now.

Hall up and Johnson is picked off first, this team can't even get out of it's own way sometimes. Two down.

Hall waves at a pitch a foot outside and low to K swinging and end the inning.

Baylor leads 1-0 halfway through.
 
Peters starts the fifth by hitting the lead off man on a full count pitch to put a man on.

A hit and run single to left and Johnson comes up throwing in left and throws a strike to third and he is called out, but he was in there and maybe the old make up call is rearing it's head from the walk last inning.

This comes to mind because the call was made by the home plate ump who had rotated on the play and made the call. It's out one though.

A strike em out and throw em out double play ends the inning.

Baylor leads 1-0 after five innings.
 
Weis leads off the sixth and K's for the third time tonight this time swinging for out one and a hat trick.

Hinojosa also K's looking as he heads toward first twice at 3-1 and 3-2 and then heads to the bench for out two.

Payton is hit by a pitch and puts a man on and again you might consider a steal here if we can not get picked or swing at the first pitch.

Felts singles to put two on, but why not let Payton try to steal and then that single would have scored him.

Pitching coach out for Baylor, but Stone stays in.

Ty Marlow swings at a bad pitch and K's and this what is so frustrating about this team. Somebody was saying this teams was hitting better than last year.

The one stat we may lead the league in is meaningless singles that don't score any runs and this team strikes out way too much. That was the 10th K tonight.

Bottom of six now Baylor leads 1-0.
 
Peters out for his sixth inning of work gets the first hitter on a fly to shallow left for out one.

A ground ball to second is out two.

A line drive at Payton in right and he misses it and it goes all the way to the wall for a triple I guess. Payton just lost it in the lights and it was almost a inside the parker. Hall saved the run for now by getting to it quickly.

Skip out to the mound again, but Peters stays in.

This time a fly ball to right is caught by Payton to retire the side.

Baylor leads 1-0 to the seventh.
 
B. Marlow leads off the seventh for Texas leads off with a liner to left center in the gap that goes to the wall for a double.

Baylor coach out and that's it for Stone who only gave up four hits and had 10 K's.
 
McElroy up to bunt probably faces the new right pitcher Mahalec.

McElroy not bunting and walks to put two on and now the bunt is in order for sure.

Johnson takes a perfect strike and then fouls a bunt attempt off and then takes curve that splits the plate for a K looking for out one. This team is confusing.

Then Hall with a comebacker that is a 1-6-3 double play to end the inning and that is the Texas season in an inning right there.

Baylor still leads 1-0 to the stretch.
 
Peters still on in the seventh gets the lead off man on fly ball to left center.

A liner to Ty Marlow at third is out two.

Peters hits the next batter to put a man on.

The runner steals second sort of as he was out, but this time we don't get the call.

Doesn't matter as Peters K's the batter and ends the inning.

Baylor leads this odd game 1-0 to the eighth.
 
Is there a record for number of 1-0 losses in a season, this team must be either already holding it or dang close to breaking it.

Weis leads off the eighth and grounds out to third for out one.

Hinojosa works a full count walk to reach.

Here comes the Baylor coach to maybe bring a lefty to face Payton if the ump ever goes out to the mound.
The righty stays in and I'm a bit surprised.

Payton flies out to left for the second out.

Felts singles to the gap in right center and Hinojosa goes around to third.

Again though will it be another meaningless single.

Ty Marlow up again with runners in scoring position.
He K's swinging for the third time to strand more runners and yes make it another meaningless single.

That's 12 K's now for Texas now.

Baylor leads 1-0 to the bottom of the eighth.
 
Knebel takes over for Peters in the eighth.

Sorry Dillon, you gave up a run on very borderline call and you know better than that.

Another great outing for Peters that may well get him a loss this time.

Knebel K's swinging his first hitter for out one.

A fly ball to center is out two.

Another K swinging is out three.

Last chance for Texas to prevent another blowout 1-0 loss, at least they are starting to feel that way.

Also last chance to let go of last place in the league.

Baylor leads 1-0 after eight.
 
Bare the Baylor lefty that pitched last night is in to pitch.

Stell pinch hits for B. Marlow and groounds weakly to first and it goes 3-1 for out one.

McElroy is K #13 swinging for out two.

Johnson the last hope for Texas is K #14 looking to end the game.

Baylor wins the game 1-0 and the series.

All these line up changes amount to no more than shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic as it gets the same results.
 
I am sorry to say this. But if Texas baseball finishes last in the league (unthinkable, really!), misses NCAA again, and barely has even a winning season, Augie should do the right thing and just resign. I have tremendous respect for him, but I think he doesn't have the energy to build us back up from the pits we have sunk to. I don't for a minute think that he is incapable of it. I just don't know if he wants to put in all the effort at his age to do it, nor do I want to see everybody jumping on him in the worst way next year when we are again bad. I would rather see the legend just leaving, like Darrel Royal did. Nobody will fault him if he did that.

3 years of not hitting.That's amazing considering the talent pool we have to choose from at the HS level.
