Texas vs. St. John's, Part 2

[jmann09]

tailor made. 91 pitches thru 7. thank you, austin wood

 

[Horn@AC]

Lovin the gutsy performance by the Horns, getting clutch hitting, good pitching, and solid defense.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Astros just got swept by Brewers 10-1 (Bratwurst won the sausage race today).

UH up 11-9 over UIC with the tying runners on base. 2 outs.

 

[jmann09]

okie lite beats tcu 9-8, jordy mercer walk off HR
nebraska down 8-0 to oral, 3 outs left

 

[bassale47]

Belt strikes out looking.

1 out for Hernandez

 

[Chest Rockwell]

UH 11-10 with tying runner on 3rd and 2 outs.

 

[bassale47]

Hernandez lines out to right.

2 outs for Rupp

 

[Chest Rockwell]

UIC just tied UH on a WP. 11-11.

 

[bassale47]

Rupp singles to third base, but appears to be injured.

2 outs for Moldenhauer

 

[Truck's Son]

Oh crap. Rupp hurts himself running down to first. Seems like he's ok for the moment. Can NOT lose him. I don't think Clay Van Hook is available to catch.

 

[bassale47]

Rupp will stay in.

 

[jmann09]

rupp scared everybody by pulling up down the line to 1st. he's staying in to run though. hopefully he's fine

 

[bassale47]

Moldenhauer - F8

Bottom 8, Horns lead 4-1. Appear to be having cramping issues. Better get some IVs ready, as Moreland suggested.

8, 9, 1 up for SJU

Wood has thrown around 90 pitches.

 

[jmann09]

****, moldenhauer went to the ground after knocking that liner to center, could be cramping. of course, we are cruising along and then the injury bug comes out to give us a scare

 

[bassale47]

Kyle Lusson is replacing Moldenhauer in LF. Moreland saying it could be a knee injury but not sure.

 

[Truck's Son]

Crap times two. Moldenhauer hurts his leg, Lusson has to come in for him. Hope he's okay. Rupp staying in to catch.

 

[jmann09]

if we win and moldenhauer cannot go against rice, i don't have a whole lot of confidence in lusson or keyes. hopefully russell is all right

 

[bassale47]

La Stella singles off the mound.

Runner on 1st, no outs for Matias.

Cole Green and Juston Street are in the pen.

 

[bassale47]

Matias grounds into 6-4-3 DP

2 outs for Grantham

 

[jmann09]

are you sure about street? that is perplexing to say the least

 

[bassale47]

That's what the radio said.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Huge DP right there. 4 outs to go!

 

[Truck's Son]

Huge double play there.

Grantham flies out to left, beautiful diving catch by Lusson. Augie will reward him for that if Moldenhauer can't go in the next game.

Top 9, Horns lead 4-1.

Tucker, Torres, Danks up for Texas

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Lusson!!! 4-1 onto the 9th.

 

[jmann09]

thank you lusson, let me go grab my crow

i didn't mean to belitte their achievements or skills, but moldenhauer is really hot right now, and much more experienced, two things that would be really nice to have in the lineup in a must-have postseason game

 

[jmann09]

wood's pitch count is around 100-105 thru 8

 

[bassale47]

Tucker pops up to short.

1 out for Torres
