Texas v. Texas Tech March 24-26, 2023

O’Dowd SO swinging. End of the 6th. But Horns score 2 to take the lead, 4-3. Onto the T7.

 

Bunting is hard.

 

LBJ still on the mound - 43 pitches in.

 

Gotta say, several Tech players have some sweet Kentucky Waterfall mullets. I’m talking serious shampoo and conditioner type hair, man.

 

Lead off single and wild pitch has a Tech runner at 2B, no outs.

 

Walk. Tech runners in 1st & 2nd. No outs.

LBJ is done. Shaw coming in now.

 

FC force out at 2nd. Tech runners on 1st & 3rd. 1 out.

 

Fly out to center, shallow so runner does not tag. 2 outs. Still 1st & 3rd.

 

Shaw strikes out the batter - Horns get out of the jam and head to bottom 7, 4-3 Horns.
Nice work by Shaw there!!

 

Daly strikes out swinging at ball four. 1 out.

 

Hard hit liner directly at 2B….2 out.

 

Does morehouse come in the 9th to close this out if we’re still leading??? Inquiring minds want to know

 

Strikeout looking - 3 up/down. On to the 8th, Texas leads 4-3.

 

This guy is the real deal - got screwed by the LF losing the ball in the sun, otherwise 3-3 game

 

He was nails last night - no one is warming up right now, so expect Shaw on the mound again to start the 8th.

 

It’s Shaw - Kash is first batter and flies out to left. 1 out.

 

Single. 1 out, runner in 1st. Lucky that one hit the 3rd base bag, otherwise that was a double.

 

Morehouse and Hurley warming up in the bullpen now.

 

Still no Orange Jesus sitings.

 

Infield pop up. 2 outs. Runner still in 1st.

 

Reviewing whether pinch runner removed hand from the bag after a pickoff attempt. Could be another Tech base running error like last night.

 

Nope - review calls him safe.

 

Shaw strikes him out. Inning over!

To the B8 - Horns, 4-3.

 

EK HBP to start the B8. 1 on, no outs. Powell up.

Coombes still pitching for Tech.

 

EK steals 2nd. No outs.

 

Powell SO looking.

Campbell up.

 

Insurance run = nice. Let’s go DC!!

 

RBI single Campbell. EK scores from second on a single up the middle. HBP, stolen base, RBI single - EK & DC making ‘em pay!!

5-3 Horns.

Pitching change Tech.

 

New Tech pitcher - Andrew Devine. RHP 1.80 era.

 

Hit and run how not to do it…SO and Campbell over slides the bag and is tagged out. End of B8. 3 outs to go.

5-3, Horns.
