Texas v. Texas Tech March 24-26, 2023

1 pitch, 1 out. Nice.

 

LBJ is a big dude. Should be a TE for Sark.

 

Damn - close play at the plate, but 2 out RBI double Tech, 3-1 now.

 

To the B5, Tech up 3-1.

 

Lead off walk to Powell. Campbell up now.

 

Damn - bloop single to left for Campbell, but Powell thrown out trying for third.

1 out - runner on first.

 

Bat on shoulder strike out. 2 outs.

 

I swear that was a dumb decision to try to take third.

 

Yeah - wasn’t even close. Out by 5 feet. Bad decision, for sure.

 

Campbell steals second. 2 out, B4. Porter Brown RBI double. 3-2 ballgame, folks. Nice at bat for Brown.

 

Bonehead base running error at third - game would be tied. But as Augie would say, baseball is a cruel game.

 

Headed to T5, 3-2 Tech.

 

They’re retiring Dressendorfer’s #10 jersey today. He’ll be on LHN in B5 for a quick interview. Good dude. Great Horn pitcher.

 

1-2-3 goes Tech. To the B5, still 3-2 Tech. LBJ making quick work since he came in…looks solid.

Dressendorfer up next.

 

Keep the updates coming. I can't take the time to watch TV (too busy packing stuff for our upcoming move), but I'll check Hornfans every time I get a few minutes to dit and rest. We have lived in this house for 42 years - I had forgotten how hard it is to pack stuff for a move!

 

We suck at bunting today. 2nd pop up out trying to bunt.

 

42 years worth of stuff- I don’t envy you, man.

 

Daly with a lead off walk. Failed sacrifice bunt. Daly thrown out stealing in missed hit/run. Line out to SS. B5 over. Into the T6, still 3-2 Tech.

 

Dressendorfer interview was excellent - he’s a class act. Humble as can be. But an absolute animal when he took the mound. Congrats to him on a huge honor of his Jersey being retired today.

 

LBJ strikes out the lead off batter. 1 out.

 

I wasn’t expecting anything from this part of the order but it’s frustrating when the 7,8,9 hole can’t even get out of their own way. To not be able to lay down a bunt to move a person over is baseball 101 and then to pop up when doing it is beyond frustrating.

 

1-2-3 goes Tech. SO, fly out, SO. LBJ very effective in relief so far.

To the B6, 3-2 Tech.

 

New pitcher for Tech. Josh Sanders - 3.97 era.
Time to light him up and go deep into the Tech bullpen.

Facing top of the order to start off. Let’s go, EK!

 

EK first pitch line drive single. 1 on, no outs!! Powell up.

 

FC ground out to pitcher - EK to 2nd. 1 out. Campbell up. Time for some juice, DC!

 

BTW - for those wonderin’, no crazy Orange Jeebus siting yet. But it’s early.

 

RBI single Campbell as EK comes around to tie the game, 3-3. B6.

That’s it for Sanders - didn’t make it but 1 out. New pitcher coming in for Tech.

 

New Tech pitcher, Ethan Coombes, 1.93 era.

B6, 3-3. Runner on 1st. 1 out.

 

Easy pop up to RF who loses it in the sun. Double for Guillemette. Campbell to 3rd. 1 out. Porter Brown up.

 

Brown sacrifice fly to center. Both runners advance. DC on 3rd. 4-3 Horns. 2 outs. O’Dowd up.
