Weis with a slow roller to first that he beats out for an infield hit.
Payton is up and a pick off attempt is thrown away for an error on he pitcher and Weis is now on second.
Payton grounds to third and he tries to tag Weis and then throws out Payton. Ump says he missed Weis and he is at third with one down.
OSU coach out to argue. It should be noted we are working with only two umps as one had to leave on a family emergency. Two umps like the old SWC days.
While the coach is out there he makes a pitching change.
Yikes! Poke coach seems to feel that they tagged ol' EW. Erich's standing at 3rd so we have an overrule by a very competent Blue, coach. Head on back to the dugout.
Thornhill still hurling for the Horns and OSU lead off man singles.
A sac bunt attempt fails as Felts makes the play to second for out one on a force out.
Marlow fields a grounder up the middle tags the runner from first and completes 4U-3 double play to end the inning and make OSU fans irate as they remember the non tag from last inning. It was an easy call this time.
After 7 innings OSU leads 5-4 and bring back their closer agan in this game after he was used in the first game today.
Today is about as frustrating a day as you can have. So many opportunities missed and so many chances blown. For every step forward this team takes, it seems to find a way to step right back and sometimes even take two steps back.
Two series in there is no evidence this team will compete for the Big XII and a lot of evidence that for the second year in a row there will be no post season.
There is a lot of baseball still to play and hopefully better weekends ahead but it is hard not to be very down on this team when they let two very winnable games get away like they did today.
