Following along at work, thanks.

Etier with single plates two more and its 3-0 Horns with runners on corners and still no outs.

Horns load bases again with no outs but then fail to plate another run. Through 2 full 3-0 Texas.
 
Texas leads 4-0 now in the 4th, Thornhill in to pitch and retires SFA in order.

Looks like a night to work on things and look at some other players. Etier playing 2nd and Sommers at short.
 
Marlow safety squeezes a run, then Silver triples into the right center gag to score another.

It's now 6-0 Horns after 4 innings and Jacquez into pitch.
 
Jacquez gives up a double, but Payton lays out on a liner to the gap and keeps SFA off the board.

Halfway through, it's still 6-0 Horns.

Hey Frank, it's the bottom of yet another fifth! Enjoy the game from your luxery suite upstairs.
 
Curtis wearing glasses comes in to pitch and gives up lead off single. A 6-4-3 takes care of the runner. Then another single and fly out to center ends the inning.

Going to B6 it remains 6-0 Horns.

Dunn makes the obligatory Ricky Vaughn reference to Curtis's specs. I would like to be different and hope he was going for the Ryan Duren effect. If you remember this hard throwing half blind hurler in the Bigs, then you have been around as long as me.

Payton doubles, Weis walks, Marlow with the sac, and a wild pitch plates another run to make it 7-0. Silver walks, catcher tries to pick Weis off third and thows it into left feild for an error and another run plated. It's 8-0 now. Felts walks, but that's it.

To the 7th now 8-0 Texas.

Aggy-Cougar High games was rained out.
 
Curtis barely misses taking the second hitter's head off with a fastball but hits the ump. Then K's him on a 3-2 pitch. See he is going for the Ryan Duren effect. Retires the Jacks in order.

Still 8-0, time to stretch.

I think the home plate ump getting hit woke up Bible from his nap and he threw a flag for delay of game.

Maitland leads off and his HBP for about the hundreth time this year. Hope he doesn't get hurt doing that someday. Payton singles him to third and a Weis SF scores yet another run. Now 9-0 Horns. No more damage is done.

Now 9-0 Texas after 7 complete.
 
Lead off man for SFA plants a Curtis fastball into the bullpen in left to break up the shutout. Then retires the Jacks in order after that.

It's now 9-1 Texas to the B8.
 
Glad to be of service Haus, I machted some nichts not too long ago. I was fishing and the little buggers kept buzzing around my head. So I machted several of them into the afterlife.

Horns go in order in the 8th, freshman Hunter Remond gets his first ever AB as a Horn and pops up.

To the ninth, Milner in to pitch.
 
Milner gets a ground ball and two K's and that's the ballgame.

Horns win 9-1!

Onto the badlands of Manhattan, keep the winning streak going.
 
Dale Watson on LHN, pays to keep watching after the game. "Sessions from the Cactus Cafe" is the show.

His daughter goes to UT now.
 
Great game, thanks for the link.

NB, I am old enough to remember Ryne Duren also. Back in the 70's I believe that I heard him say that some of his wildness was due to pitching while intoxicated... wow
 
He wore the thickest glasses I ever saw, they say he could barely see home plate. He threw very hard and was all over the place. Effectively wild it was called, but it was also effectively the batter fearing for his life.

If he was drinking too then it's a wonder he didn't turn and throw a pitch toward centerfield. Like Jimmy Piersall running the bases backward after a home run. Or when he, after being ejected one game then climbed on top of the grandstand roof and heckled the home plate ump the rest of the game. What a nutcase he was, later it was medically proven of course.
