OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 2 Texas vs. South Carolina (Friday, 6 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

Hopefully, the Longhorns are over last night's 9-1 loss to the Gamecocks. SEC Network Plus has the second game of the series at 6 p.m. as Texas looks to avoid a road series loss.

BOOM! TINNEY LEAVES THE YARD!

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney launched a fastball over the left-field wall with one out in the top of the first. Gunther caught too much of the plate and Tinney made him pay.

Texas has the early lead, 1-0.

[Jeff Howe]

An infield single by Robbins (off the end of Gunther's glove) and a Pack walk have two on with one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Aiden Robbins is wearing two sliding mitts like he's waiting on a fresh batch of cookies to come out of the oven.

[Jeff Howe]

Well, the rally is extinguished. Borba grounds into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning.

End of 1: Texas 1, South Carolina 0

[.45s]

At least everyone is swinging and hitting the ball so far.  Keep it up.

[Jeff Howe]

Larson missed a leadoff home run to right by a few feet. He draws a walk instead.

[Jeff Howe]

Larson goes from first to third on Livingston's single to right field.

Texas has first and third with one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Gamecocks are going to the bullpen with the Longhorns threatening in the top of the second.

[Jeff Howe]

Monsour executes the squeeze beautifully.

Larson scores and the runners are in scoring position after a throwing error on the pitcher (Brandon Stone), trying to get Monsour at first base.

[Jeff Howe]

Texas is using the short game to get the offense going in the second.

Mendoza pushes a bunt down the first-base side of the infield. Nobody covered first base and Livingston scored from third.

It's first and third with one out and Texas is leading it 3-0.

[Jeff Howe]

Those were seriously the two best bunts I've seen this season.

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney grounds into a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.

The Longhorns score two runs on two hits in the second to extend the lead.
