OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 4 Texas vs. No. 11 Alabama (Sunday 1 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

The fourth-ranked Longhorns go for the series sweep of the 11th-ranked Crimson Tide today at 1 p.m. on SEC Network Plus. It's a big start for Luke Harrison, who didn't make it out of the first inning in last Saturday's loss to Texas A&M.

Still seems odd to have your top HR hitters hitting at the top of the order. Guaranteed that Robbins has no one on base to start the game.

Two up, two down via the strikeout for Harrison to open the game.

[Jeff Howe]

Neal is thrown out at second by a mile trying to stretch a single into a double. A great throw by Pack ends the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

M1: Texas 0, Alabama 0

That's what you get for being greedy😂

Justin Lebron with a big league play deep in the hole at short to get Robbins at first base.

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney draws a one-out walk.

[Jeff Howe]

Make it back-to-back walks as A-Rod takes first base.

Two on, one out for Pack.

[Jeff Howe]

Pack, BTW, came into today hitting .407 (24-for-59) in SEC play. 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has no problem taking pitches and forcing Upchurch to throw strikes.

[Jeff Howe]

Pack gets rung up on a nasty breaking ball. Two on, two down, for Doza.

[Jeff Howe]

It's now a RISP situation with after a double steal by Tinney and A-Rod.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Disappointed Pack gave up on strike 3 before it crossed the plate!  🤷‍♀️

[Jeff Howe]

Doza works a walk to load the bases with Becerra coming to the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra swings and misses a two-strike pitch outside to end the inning.

The Longhorns leave 'em loaded in the first.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 1: Texas 0, Alabama 0

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Becerra goes fishing on ball 3!!!
