Texas v. Notre Dame College World Series June 17, 2022

Nice strikeouts by Stevens!! Need 1 more to end the inning....

 

Damn nice strikeout to end the inning!!

 

Tristan dealing with two k’s to take us to stretch. Horns need some runs.

 

Bottom of 7th... 9 outs left.

Horns trail 6-3

Need some Horns bat magic!

 

Two hard hit shots right at third baseman. On any other day…..

 

On another day a lot of those near hits are on base. Missing by a little all night.

 

Hodo with four pitch walk and that chases Rao. ND bringing on their freshman who was so good last week in Knoxville.

 

They go with the uniforms.

 

Kennedy strikes out to end any chance in seventh.

 

Tristan with another quick inning. Need some runs here in bottom of the 8th.

 

Ivan K’s and Stehly flies out as Horns bat here in 8th.

 

Austin grounds out to third and all evidence suggests it’s just not the Horns night tonight.

 

Irish at bat T9. Need 3 quick outs and some serious B9 magic....

 

ND solo HR, crap!

7-3

 

Tristan gives up solo shot with two outs in ninth and it’s 7-3 domers

 

Overall the brain fart and solo shot aside it was good night for Tristan he kept Texas in game. 4 and 2/3rds innings of work.

 

Last chance here for Texas on night that hasn’t gone well pretty much from start.

 

Messenger flies out for first out.

 

Silas grounds out to short.

 

Screw the irish... 7 - 3

The Horns will face lowly aggy in the loser bracket.

 

ND is for real. Beating the vols was no fluke.

 

Ground out ends game. Horns lose 7-3.

Well, it just wasn’t Horns night. The nice thing about baseball is that one loss doesn’t end your year, but now every game is win or go home so Lucas Gordon will really have to step up Sunday against aggy.

 

ND pitching was too good tonight. They were
throwing first pitch strikes and ahead in the count against our hitters, keeping our guys off balance and guessing.
We’re not done yet. This team has fought back from behind a lot.
Hook ‘em!

 

Are we the early or late game on Sunday?

 

I heard Sunday night.

 

Switch over to LHN to get your mind off the loss:

1981 UT vs. ou on a cloudy / cool day. Rick McIver was QB, stout UT D....I was there that day. Horns start slow but dominate second half and win easily.

 

Those two teams are a lot closer than the score. Near misses on what should have been base hits and a pitching edge was the difference. Surely the baseball gods won’t let the agricultural and mechanical trade schoolers win.

 

We play at 1pm on Sunday I believe. OU vs ND is the late game. Please, just dont get eliminated by a$m, thats all I ask.

 

Gordon has been nails all year with the exception of last Saturday. If he steps up Sunday this season is far from over.
