OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 2 Texas vs. No. 18 Texas A&M (Friday, 7 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas battles back, getting three outs on six pitches to get out of the inning.

End of 4: Texas A&M 3, Texas 2

[AZ Longhorn]

The name of the game is containment. You're not gonna blank this aggies lineup. Keep it to solo homeruns and cheapies (like last inning), try and get through 5+ innings, and keep the team in it.

The longer the game is close, the more the advantage shifts our way (in this single game, an in terms of winning the overall weekend)

BOOOOM

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! 2-RUN BOMB BY ROBBINS!

[Jeff Howe]

Robbins goes the other way with a payoff pitch from Sdao, putting it into the Texas bullpen to put the Longhorns back in front.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns have a 4-3 lead. The bases are empty with no outs in the top of the fifth.

[Jeff Howe]

And then Sdao hits Pack with an 0-1 pitch.

[Jeff Howe]

That's it for Sdao.

[Jeff Howe]

Lefty Ethan Darden is the first man out of the bullpen for the Aggies.

YUUUGE to knock sdao out of the game only getting 12 outs. Puts us in prime position for a series win (regardless of today specifically). Good luck finding 69 more outs from that pitching staff...

He's 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts in his last four SEC games (including tonight).

[SuperDave0805]

Don't think that one has the distance

[Jeff Howe]

Grahovac is on third with a one-out triple.

[Jeff Howe]

Sorrell, with his second RBI groundout of the night, ties the game, 4-4.

[SuperDave0805]

Leave it to the aggies to turn a baseball game into the Lawrence Welk show (Yes I'm that old)
