I remember when people were all over Borba for lack of production after like game 3 of the season

 

[82horn]

Gumbo with a great at bat.

[Jeff Howe]

Gumbo shows Ole Miss where to stuff the shift. His single to right brings an end to Libbert's day.

[BurntOrangeDriller]

What an AB by Gumbo. Guy just does whatever the team needs.

A prime example of why a box score tells you a lot, but it doesn't tell you everything.

Borba was making hard contact. Unfortunately, he was hitting the ball right to people and his timing was slightly off.

He worked through it and now he's raking.

[JMarquette]

My hottest take may be that Gumbo has at least earned a discussion to start in DH this year. 

[Jeff Howe]

Lefty Walker Hooks is the new pitcher for Ole Miss. A runner on first with no outs for Ashton Larson.

[Jeff Howe]

Larson ropes a single to right. Two on, nobody out and the top of the order is up to face Hooks.

[Jeff Howe]

A double steal puts runners in scoring position for Mendoza.

Double steal love the aggressive approach.

[CJ Vogel]

This is the type of performance I was expecting to see on Sundays this year.

Volantis shutting things down in the top half, then the sticks scrapping together runs.

Time to make like a piñata and bust this thing wide open.

Love staying aggressive even when up 5.

Get to ten and let's end this one early before the wind really picks up.

[Jim]

Schools going for the jugular love it.

[Jeff Howe]

Randle makes a nice defensive play to deny Mendoza a hit.

It's a 6-3 groundout with Gumbo coming home to score.

It's a 6-0 lead for the Longhorns in the bottom of the fourth.

[Jeff Howe]

Boy, Larson might not get another at-bat today.

Schloss was visibly mad when Larson didn't go to third on Mendoza's grounder. Then, he gets doubled off on Tinney's high popup to center, ending the inning.

[CJ Vogel]

Strange play and Larson gets doubled up. Not sure about that one.

[Jeff Howe]

It's a three-run, four-hit fourth inning for the Longhorns, who send Volantis back to the mound with a six-run lead.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 4: Texas 6, Ole Miss 0

[Dread-headed Texan]

Can't tell if Texas is being really aggressive or if the base running is questionable

Yeah, now that was a base-running mistake, no defense for that one.

[LonghornFan4Ever]

Baserunning again lol

[Jeff Howe]

Fawley leads off the Ole Miss with an opposite-field double to the mesh wall in right field.
