So it's the last series of the season with a slim chance of making the Conference Tournament on the line.

In pennant race terms Tech has a magic number of two to clinch the last tourney birth. Tech has Baylor at home and Texas on the road at TCU.

Any combinations of Tech wins or Texas losses that add up to two and Tech goes. So it could happen tonight or not at all depending on the how these series go.

It's hard to imagine that Baylor can sweep Tech in Lubbock and if Tech wins even one game we would have to sweep TCU in Fort Worth to have any chance.

It's the first series Texas has played at TCU since 1996.
One thing that has been discussed is that the TCU coach says that his starting pitchers won't go real deep in these games because of the Tournament starting on Wendsday. The reasoning being that they need to save arms to try to win the Big 12 Tournament as they beieve and probably rightly so to make a Regional

This might help out Texas somewhat possibly and we need all the help we can get.

As Elgin stated this game is televised on Direct and it's on Dish on channels 443, 436, and 437.


I have a working stream for those without these options.

Bellow comes in to pitch the eighth and a sharp ground ball to first off Silver goes 3-1 for one away.

Another shot to second that goes off the chest fof B. Marlow and he recovers and throws him out by a step for out two.

I hope we get this third out before one of our infielders gets killed.

A pop up foul down the first base line and it almost happened as B. Marlow slides to make the catch barely missing Payton and Silver in what would have been quite a collision to end the inning.

Going the the top of the ninth and three outs till next year TCU leads 5-0.
 
NB thanks for all the updates! This season has well and truly sucked but you kept faith and kept in updating. Thanks!

TCU brings in a righty reliever and Stell leads off by grounding out to short as he launches the bat over the TCU dugout on the swing. Our hitters do strange things.

Shaw pinch hits now and he gets the first walk issued to Texas of the night.

B. Marlow up and deep fly ball to center goes over the center fielder's head and it's a double that scores Shaw to make it 5-1.

For some reason known only to him and maybe his coach the TCU center fielder was playing very shallow which makes no sense in that situation and it cost him and TCU.

Payton is hit by a pitch in the dirt on the foot and it puts two on.

TCU tried to skate by on a marginal reliever in the ninth and it didn't work. Here comes the TCU coach and I bet this reliever is of a better quality.
 
Weis with two on hits a slow roller to short and the shortstop charges and nips Weis on the throw for two away.

Runners move up to second and third and the lefty brought in to face Weis is now removed for a righty to face Hinojosa.
 
Hinojosa is the last hope for Texas with runners at second and third and the submariner right hander ties him up in knots as he K's swinging to end the game.

TCU wins 5-1 and with Tech leading Baylor 11-2 in the seventh it's just a matter of time to the post season window slams shut.

Same old story for this game and the whole season. This team besides Payton, Weis and sometimes Hinojosa can't hit a lick and till that is fixed by recruiting nothing will change.

We will have another very good pitching staff next year that hopefully includes a healthy John Curtis.

Schiraldi and Clemens are possible too if they don't sign.

I'm glad that some of you found these updates entertaining through the season. I hadn't planned on doing every game, but it turned out that way somehow.

Two games left in this season and I will try to close it out by doing the updates for them.

Hall, Carter, McElroy, Ty Marlow, and Moynihan were all JC tranfers in their first season this year.

Moynihan was here last year, but didn't qualify to be able to play.

It will be hard to bring in more JC guys without some of these guys leaving. We had two seniors Steinhagen another JC guy that barely played and Marsh who never played except for that at bat on senior day.

We have some recruits if we can get in school that could make a difference if they come in like Gurwitz, McGuire, Barrera, and Boswell.

Also who leaves such as Payton, Weis, Felts and few others will determine going out and getting JC guys.
