A high chopper off the bat of Jonah Williams results in an infield single. It's first and third for the Longhorns with no outs and Mendoza up.

Gasparino reaches second base with a steal. Nice throw by the catcher, but Gasparino's slide broke it up.

Three Longhorns have reached base, all thanks to free passes (one HBP, two BB).

I agree, I know that Schloss wants them to see/work the pitcher, but typically you're almost always going to see a first pitch get me over fastball against this lineup because the opponents know we're taking. Most times when the count starts 1-0 it's because the pitcher missed.

Gasparino draws a leadoff walk.

appreciate the play by play @Jeff Howe for those of us "working" 🤘

M3: Texas 0, HCU 0

Saunier strikes out Payne and gets Walker to ground out to second to get out of the inning. The free pass doesn't come back to bite Texas.

Walker was throwing strikes. Not sure why you want a bullpen game in Game 1 when pitching could be a premium if you drop a game.

A sacrifice bunt by Dutka puts a runner in scoring position with one out. Payne comes to the plate with Roper on second.

Nothing infuriates me more than taking every single 1st pitch. Especially when they've been fastball straight down the pipe

Saunier plunks Roper to open the third. Huskies get the leadoff runner on base.

End of 2: Texas 0, Houston Christian 0

A defensive swing by Borba results in a ground ball to first. He's retired and the Longhorns go down in order in the second.

Two quick outs in the Texas second.

Rodriguez grounds out to short. One down. And as I typed that, Flores gets retired in foul territory.

Lets get the sticks going.

Rodriguez, Flores and Borba are due up in the second.

M2: Texas 0, HCU 0

So far they're playing more like it's the first game of the season and not the regionals, just not sharp in the early going defensively and that poor slide by Mendoza in the bottom of the first.

Saunier induces an infield popout to end the top of the second. HCU strands a pair as we head to a scoreless bottom of the second.

I'm being told that this was the plan: for Walker to go through the HCU order once before making it a bullpen game. That was the plan for Tennessee, but Walker was on a roll and, obviously, Texas wasn't too concerned with the outcome in Hoover.

Too short a leash???? Well Walker will be available for games 3 or 4.

Jim don't play, he's quick with the hook
