TODD!!!. HOMERUN!!!

Great catch there by the KU LF. Robbed Silas of a double.

 

Meanwhile, Tech continues to fall apart.

 

Ouch! KU’s LF slams into Maui. That hurt. They got the out, but those guys should communicate better out there and call people off…

 

ESPN+ does not currently project we will host a regional.

 

Daly with the platinum glove! Nice play.

And Hodo with the BRIGHT ORANGE GLOVE.

 

No runs in the top of the sixth for Gordon and the Texas D.

7-1 us

Very good outing for Gordon.

 

Olivarez will take over from Gordon in the 7th.

Great job Gordon! 6 innings. 1 run.

 

And Olivarez puts them down in the 7th.

3 down



I’m glad Coach has finally gotten around to putting Olivarez in the games more. He’s got good numbers and he doesn’t do stupid things.

 

Murph to the LF corner for a double!!



Murph’s been a bit lukewarm the past few weeks (for him…). Good to see his bat lighting up red hot again!

 

Todd puts it where they can’t get it in LCF. First and third. One out.

 

Skye Messinger

Sac fly to CF. RBI. Murph scores!

8-1 us
