Duplantier must be an absolute menace in practice.

This may get ugly pdq.

Yeah. Hope he’s OK.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas worked around a one-out double to get out of the first otherwise unscathed.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! DOZA GOES DEEP TO LEAD IT OFF!

[Hookem1012]

That was not hit all that well and it still left thanks to the wind. Going to be one of those nights.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza’s solo shot to left gets Texas on the board. The Longhorns have the early lead, 1-0.

Riojas looks OK after catching a piece of a liner back to the mound.

The wind giveth, the wind taketh away.

Riojas left a pitch up and Gage Griggs deposited it over the left-field wall.

Two strikeouts get Ruger out of the inning.
