OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 2 Texas vs. No. 8 Oklahoma (Friday, 7 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

Branch goes down on strikes at the end of a 9-pitch at-bat. That's the first inning for Harrison without allowing a runner to reach base.

M4: Oklahoma 2, Texas 0

[Jeff Howe]

For the third inning out of four, Texas draws a one-out walk. This time, it's A-Rod in the bottom of the fourth.

[Jeff Howe]

That's the second inning-ending 6-4-3 double play grounded into by the Longhorns.

I know all y’all love Galindo but had to turn off the sound despite Keith being on. 

[Jeff Howe]

Walk's leadoff double leads to the Sooners adding another run.

The bases are empty with two outs, but OU has extended the lead in the fifth.

[TCope111]

Not liking the flow of this game right now. 

[Jeff Howe]

A two-out single by Brock (out of A-Rod's reach at short) is the fifth hit for the Sooners off Harrison.

Bodies starting to stir in the Texas bullpen.

[Jeff Howe]

Yet another failed pickoff attempt, this one with Borba throwing the ball over A-Rod's head into left field.

Brock is on third with two outs and Willits is at the plate.

Not one bit!

Harrison strikes out Willits to end the inning.

The Sooners score a run on two hits and leave a runner on base against Harrison in the fifth.

We have to get some momentum going this inning. Need to extend Johnson’s pitch count and get into their pen. If not, I don’t think we will be able to make a late inning come back. They will score a few more, most likely. 

[horns96]

I don't recall so many 3-2 counts resulting in outs.   I know the kid is throwing hard, but we've got to take some more pitches.

...and yet another K on ball 4.

[TCope111]

We have bailed this pitcher out. He’s not throwing that good of a game. We are guessing. 

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison's 80th pitch of the night ends a 1-2-3 sixth.

The Longhorns need to get something going on offense. Johnson heads back to the mound with 90 pitches under his belt.

[ThatHornsGuy87]

These bats are as cold as your ex's heart lol

[Jeff Howe]

Monsour leads off the bottom of the sixth with a walk.

[Jeff Howe]

OU is making a pitching change. Skip didn't want Cameron Johnson, with 95 pitches under his belt, to go through the Texas order for a third time.

[Jeff Howe]

Kadyn Leon, a Lake Travis product by way of McLennan Community College, is on the mound for OU.

I'd of left Johnson in, it's evident Texas bats are allergic to fastballs.
