Big 12 Tourney

Play at the plate on a Faltine grounder. They got Skye sliding and colliding into the catcher.

 

5-2 out recorded. Need a hit

 

Surely there are doughnuts and Mountain Dew in the dugout. Horns need to partake.

 

Getting the hits. But stranding the runners…

 

Thanks for the updats!

GO HORNS !!

 

Ground rule double. Kennedy dove for it but it bounced into the stands.
3-0 Pokes

Zane is leaving a lot hanging up high and over the center of the plate.

 

Double.
5-0 Pokes


Zane is about done for today…

 

Another double.
6-0 Pokes

Zane getting shelled.

 

Lousy start. Still lots and lots of time to rally. Need some pitching to slow the Pokes O down…

 

Worst we’ve ever seen from Zane…

soooooo……..

we put in Blair…………

 

Blair is a real favorite of some posters on these boards……

But he does have the stuff. Speedy fastball.

 

3 up
3 down
For Blair and the Texas D in the 3rd.

6-0 Pokes

it just wasn’t Zane’s day…
I’m not too down on him. He served his role well late this year as our mid-week starter. Pitching against Lineups like the Pokes is a different story, however.

 

Base hit Todd


Let’s get something going!!!

 

Infield hit Skye!!

2 on no outs…

Officially scored an E.

 

Pokes pen is active.

 

We Stranded two again.

Brew some coffee in that dugout.

 

Blair loads the bases.

and DuPlantier is warming up in the bullpen. He’s another favorite of numerous posters on these boards.

 

I would chalk this game up as a loss and save your pitchers for tomorrow.

 

Blair walks in a run….


7-0 Pokes

Bases still loaded.

 

Time to wave the white flag on this one and try again?

 

Hodo single.

 

Nope. Never. Buuuuuut, don’t be putting the better relievers in yet…

 

Yes, when coach put in Blair he threw in the towel and saved his better pitchers… Looks like Duplantier will come in as well. Throwing in sacrificial meat goats now…
Although we have to win this afternoon.

 

Exit Blair

Enter Stewart and his high 90s fastball and freakish dropping slider.

 

Stewart loads the bases.

 

Double play!!!!

How bout Daly and Faltine!!!

Stewart gets a gift. It was about to get BUTT UGLY there…

8-0 Pokes.

 

It’s today for the next game

 

Infield hit Murph!

let’s get some runs. Ain’t over yet.

 

Todd infield hit

2 on

Skye up

 

Obviously saving pitchers for game 2. Failing to score early with baserunners on and no outs set up this mess.
