Lame

Harrison is back out to start the sixth.

End of 6: Alabama 1, Texas 0

Mendoza pops out to short, making it a three-up, three-down inning for the Longhorns.

Lefty Ashton Crowther retires Pack on a first-pitch groundout to short. Two away in the Texas sixth.

Rodriguez ends an eight-pitch at-bat with a flyout to left. That'll do it for Upchurch, who shut the Longhorns down after near-30-pitch first inning.

aaand he's gone. Well done. We get 11 outs against their weakass bullpen, gotta like our odds.

Fwiw - this is UT related but not specifically UT athletics related.

Texas pitching has struck out 46 this weekend. Harrison probably done at 96 pitches thru 6 innings of work .

Harrison keeps getting out of jams, but really needs some help from our offense.

Assault

"Say cheese!"

Wow! Harrison had more traffic than I'd expected against this Bama lineup, but he made the RIGHT pitches! Just like timely hitting, he came up big at the most critical times!

M6: Alabama 1, Texas 0

Fowler goes down swinging to end the inning. Harrison's 10th strikeout of the game is his new career high. The Tide strand runners in scoring position in a scoreless sixth.

And then Joe Z woke up from his dream

The Longhorns intentionally walk Torres, bringing Fowler up for a lefty-lefty matchup with the bases loaded and two outs.

Steele strikes out swinging, making him Harrison's ninth victim of the game.

One-out double by Vaughn. The wind helped Robbins track it down in the gap. It's RISP with one out for Steele as Max Weiner makes his way to the mound. Harrison's next pitch will be his 91st of the day.

Second straight day our offense gets blanked by their starter through at least 5. But just like yesterday, the pitch count is high enough that guy won't make it past the 6th. One more inning max, then the light at the end of the tunnel (their weak bullpen). People like to complain about us taking pitches, but leading the country in pitches/AB does pay off in later innings and against opponents who have top-heavy staffs

Plattner with a one-out shot to third. It got up on Becerra in a hurry. Nice recovery, but it's a one-out base hit for the Tide.

When you hear the offensive line had no pre-snap penalties
