nice win for aggy. they were working on a 6 game losing streak coming into tonight.
Hard to see another Big XII team that will be hosting a regional unless K State stays red hot. Even then I am not sure they have the park specifications to host.
in the 9th, Ruffin strikes out the batter for the first out. Ground out to short for the second out. Infield single followed by a single to center. Final out is a ground out to 3rd.
cochamps, your post about Moldy brings up something I have always been curious about. With a runner on 2nd and less that two outs, a fly ball that moves the runner to 3rd, is that really scored a SAC? I'd always thought the only way a fly ball was a SAC was if it scored a run, but I have seen it both ways.
With the 21hits this evening, UT raised the team batting average from .278 to .285. It has not been that high since the first game with Stanford - the 5th game of the season.
I am a little troubled that Ruffin seems to have hit a rough patch. He had a tough outing in College Station and gave up two hits in his only inning of work tonight. They had 6 hits in the game and one third of their hits came in Ruffins one inning.
If this is the worst problem we have as a team, I think we're in pretty good shape. I just hope that we aren't peaking too soon...hopefully we can keep up the momentum all the way to Omaha and bring home the hardware this year!
