Baseball Game Thread: No. 3 Texas vs. USC Upstate (Sunday)

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns go for the series sweep at noon (SEC Network Plus).

[Jeff Howe]

Both clubs are hitless through one.

Volantis only needed 10 pitches to get through the first inning.

[Jeff Howe]

After Volantis’ second K of the afternoon, he gives up a one-out double to right.

That’s the first runner for either side.

[CJ Vogel]

Hoping for a game that isn't met with a 5 hour delay.

[Jeff Howe]

Great snag by Becerra and a better pick by Borba for the second out of the inning.

Texas continues to play outstanding defense.

[Jeff Howe]

M2: Texas 0, Upstate 0

[Dread-headed Texan]

Happy Sunday gang. Hope all is well, now let's put dubs in the chat🤘🏿

It's cooler and not as windy on my side of town. No real chance of ran so I'm hoping for a couple of dingers. The weather is just right for them.

Adrian Rodriguez: Professional Hitter

[Jeff Howe]

A Rod takes second with Becerra still in the box.

[CJ Vogel]

What a miserable weekend for the SC Upstate 1st basemen. 

 

[Jeff Howe]

We’ll see how it’s scored, but Becerra sends a rocket to first that’s too hot to handle. He’s safe and Rodriguez advances to third.

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra reaches on an E3.

It’s first and third with no outs for Pack.

[Dread-headed Texan]

Pack you have one job, advance the runners by any means possible 

[Jeff Howe]

It’s now RISP for Pack after Becerra steals second.

[Jeff Howe]

RBI groundout for Pack. Rodriguez scores and Texas has the lead, 1-0.

Mission accomplished 🤘🏿

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra is on third with one out for Borba.

A great chance for a crooked number.

That's how rallies get started 

[Jeff Howe]

RBI sacrifice fly to deep center by Borba makes it 2-0, Texas.

[CJ Vogel]

That ball looked smoked off the bat of Borba. But it does the job to get a run in.

2–0 Horns.

[Jeff Howe]

Bases empty with two down for Ashton Larson.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 2: Texas 2, Upstate 0

[AZ Longhorn]

Great offense that inning! Putting the ball in play, taking advantage of slow times from pitcher and catcher, and executing sacs. Love it

[Jeff Howe]

How do you get out of a jam after allowing a one-out single?

Get the next hitter to ground into a 1-6-3 double play to end the inning.
