Texas vs. OSU Game 1

The latest OSU pitcher is Koda Glover, another big right hander.

Barrera faces him right handed, with two on.
I guess he bunts.
He doesn't bunt and the runners go and on an 0-2 pitch, it's wild to the backstop and Johnson comes all the way around to tie it up 2-2.

This is nuts and Shaw went all the way to third.
Barrera back up and lines a hit to left and then tries for second is out by a mile on the 8-4 out.

Texas leads 3-2, It's a comedy of errors, but Texas has the lead.

Cantu up with one on and one out.
He singles to right field.

Coach out again and another change. Just when you think you have seen it all, you haven't.
 
Garrett William, is yet another OSU pitcher, a left hander.

Boswell bats lefty, with one on and one down.
He walks to put two on.

Clemens up with two on and one down.
The lefty hitter has two hits and needs another one to add more.
A fly ball to right is two down.

Gurwitz, bats righty, with two on.
Need more, as this game is far from over.

Coach out once more to bring in a right hander.

 
Carson LaRue, is the fifth OSU pitcher of the inning, a right hander.

Gurwitz, bats right handed against him with two on and two outs.
They throw a pick off at second into center, but nobody advances.
A full count and he golf ball four off the ground to center to retire the side.

Texas batted long enough it seemed to score four or five runs, they do get two and take the lead 3-2, to the bottom of the eighth. That was as strange of a half inning as I have ever seen.
 
Culbreth out again in the OSU eighth.

Green bats left handed, to lead off against him.
A little flair lands in center, for a lead single.

Walton bats righty, now as a switch hitter to face the lefty pitcher.
He bunts and the sac goes 1-3 for one away.

A right handed pinch hitter is David Petrino, with one on and one gone.

Skip comes out and now he wants a righty to face him.

Pitching change.




 
Freshman right hander Connor Mayes, is the right hander in the game now for Texas.
He usually has some bulldog in him and he will need it, to keep the Horns in the lead.

Another pinch hitter, for the pinch hitter, is lefty hitting Mason O'Brian.
He K's him swinging on high heat, for two gone.

Hassel bats righty, with the tying run still at second and now two gone.
Now a balk is called on Mayes, to move the runner to third, the third balk of the night on Texas.
A ground ball up the middle and Baker makes a sliding stop and recovers to get him 6-3. This kid can play some infield.

The nice play keeps the Horns ahead 3-2 after eight.

Worster,

You're alright . . . .

I do love NB's narratives (we simply can NEVER thank him enough for all his years of faithful play-by-play postings).

Hell, I sometimes come home from UT baseball games in Austin and read his posts to relive the games (or see what I missed) . . . .

And it's also nice to see the games, as well, on the interwebs.

And, my goodness! Texas is ahead!

Please, Horns, don't blow it. Please stay ahead . . . .
 
The ninth is here in a wild and woolly strange game. LaRue is back to pitch for OSU.

Marlow is up lefty, at the top of the order.
A ground ball to third is a 5-3 first out.

Baker, of the nice plays tonight, including the one last inning to keep the game tied, bats righty, with one gone.

Got to let Johnson steal here.

He is the last hope for OSU, and you really want to get him and not get the top of the order up.
He walks on four pitches, didn't want that.

Arakawa, bats lefty with the tying run on.
Two down and out comes Skip.
He leaves him out there. It just can't ever be easy it seems, for this team.

You just knew that this one had some more twists and turns.
To extras tied 3-3 after two outs and nobody on.


 
Good to see somebody find a live stream, I used to get them all the time, but it's very hard to do so now.
 
Ever hear of psychology of winners? Winners don't contemplate blowing it.
 
LaRue is back to pitch the tenth.

Barrera bats righty to leads off.
He lines a drive to center and the center fielder dives on the run and makes a spectacular catch for one gone.

Hi Worster,

For years, I used to go to Stillwater with a friend every time Texas went up there, but haven't been there in probably 10 years. Can't tell that much from the video, but certainly their stands don't hold much of a crowd.

In Stillwater in 2002, I remember Augie taking a walk during batting practice around the entire periphery of the inside of the ballpark with Dustin Majewski, starting out in front of where we were sitting in the front row just to the right of the Longhorn 3rd base dugout. Augie had his arm draped around Dustin's shoulder during the entire circuit. Dustin, if you remember, was a very quiet kid, but probably the best player on the team. When he and Augie finished that long walk just in front of us, with Augie having talked to Dustin the whole time as they made that circuit, we heard Augie say something like, "Now you remember what I said about your needing to be a vocal leader." Within a couple of weeks, Dustin was talking much more to his teammates, patting them on the butt when they did well, and generally being a LOT more vocal. Texas won the national championship that year. It's those sorts of things that make Augie Garrido, our resident Zen Buddhist, a genius and why he's won more games than any other NCAA baseball coach . . . .

He can coach at Texas until he's 150 as far as I'm concerned. And, yes, I wish he could figure out how to get some more offense.

LaRue just keeps going, despite some wildness, as the twelfth is commencing.

Travis Jones will bat now as he came in as the DH, from the right side.
He actually got the swinging bunt his last at bat, instead of Cantu.
The count goes full again and he walks him, to put the lead man on.

Boswell up to bunt him over, I think, but it has been not the case always tonight.
A wild pitch puts Jones on second.
He can bunt him over to third now.
A 2-0 count and out the pitching coach comes.
No change is made.
The bunt is down and the 5-3 sac sends the lead run to third.

Clemens up lefty, with a man at third and one down.

Pitching coach out and a lefty is summoned.

Pitching change.
