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

[Jeff Howe]

Two hits allowed with three strikeouts through three scoreless innings for Volantis (37 pitches).

[Dread-headed Texan]

A little This is How We Roll between innings never hurt nobody.

[Jeff Howe]

M3: Texas 2, Upstate 0

[Jeff Howe]

End of 3: Texas 2, Upstate 0

[Dread-headed Texan]

You may get your bat on a DV pitch but it's going to be a grounder. Batters hardly ever get enough of his pitch to do much damage and I love it.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis works around a single and a walk allowed with one out to get out of the inning without either runner advancing further.

M4: Texas 2, Upstate 0

DV working it today…again!!

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez can flat hit. A nice piece of hitting on a sinking liner to center to lead off the fourth.

[Jerry K]

I have much respect for Roger Wallace as a sports caster. I don’t know him personally but it’s obvious he’s a great person. But dang he talks quiet when he calls a game. If there’s an option the volume on his mic needs to be turned up. 

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! THREE-RUN BORBOMB!

[Dread-headed Texan]

Told you the weather is right for dingers🤘🏿

[Jeff Howe]

After a Rodriguez single and stolen base and a Pack walk, Borba's two-out, three-run home run to into the left-field bullpen gives Texas a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth.

[CJ Vogel]

Two barrrels today for Broba and he's rewarded with a homer on that one. Seeing the ball well today.

I didn’t think there would be any causal impact this weekend, and that we’d find out more about their plan starting Tuesday on. (Especially yesterday could be easily explainable: cold weather and a wet field and delays/restarts aren’t conducive to Jonah’s soft tissue injury prone self.) But yeah—inquiring minds want to know what the plan is!

Volantis issues a two-out walk and then three consecutive base hits end his afternoon.

It's a three-run fifth for Upstate, who has a runner in scoring position with two outs.

Michael Winter is on the mound to replace Volantis.

It says that there's at least a chance he's with the football team tomorrow morning.

[LonghornLegends]

Man sometimes these pitchers blow my mind lol 2 outs and then just giving away runs lol

[AZ Longhorn]

Need better effort from pack there (and better focus from Dylan—Schloss is right to have gotten animated with him). Frustrating because those things have nothing to do with talent.

None of Jonah, Schloss or Sark has been willing to divulge the plan publicly.

[Jeff Howe]

Winter induces a flyout to left to get the Longhorns out of the jam.

M5: Texas 5, Upstate 3

[Kyle Vochoska]

These Upstate bats have gotten to Texas pitchers more than I have seen so far this season. They had 14 hits yesterday and are hitting the ball hard again today.

At least Livingston is putting together good ABs this weekend! I really want him to get it going. The baserunning choices leave something to be desired though. Second straight day. 

Just want this team to sharpen up between the ears.
