OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 4 Texas vs. No. 10 Mississippi State (Friday, 7:30 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

The start time for the series opener between the Longhorns and Bulldogs has already been pushed back an hour. The plan is to play baseball at Disch-Falk tonight.

The game will be streamed live on SEC Network Plus.

[CJ Vogel]

Hopefully it continues to dry up in Austin over the next hour and a half.

The weather sucks here

Yeah, pretty nasty all week.

[Jeff Howe]

It’s drizzling, cold and windy.

[Jeff Howe]

We're still good for a 7:30 p.m. start.

I know it's wet but bro, Texas has to do something to get butts in seats. This crowd is embarrassing for a top 10 match up on a Friday night. If we were at Miss state, under the same weather circumstances, their crowd would have the stands filled still.

[Jeff Howe]

With one out, Volantis strikes Ace Reese out, but he reaches base on a dropped third strike (wild pitch).

I don't know. The wind is blowing straight in from the north, steady at 18 mph.

Field temperature is in the upper 50s. It's a pretty miserable night to be at a baseball game.

[Jeff Howe]

Sullivan reaches on a hard-hit ball deep in the hole at short. No play A-Rod could make.

Two on with one out and Blake Bevis is up.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis is already up to 17 pitches in the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Bevis strikes out swinging.

Gotcha. I feel like every Friday night game has looked like this though. 

[Jeff Howe]

Parker goes down swinging and the inning is over.

State strands two in the top of the first.

M1: Texas 0, Mississippi State 0

[Hank South]

Can't believe we're sitting here shivering on May 1 

[Jeff Howe]

Robbins goes down on strikes to lead off the bottom of the first for the Longhorns.

[Hank South]

Valincius has got some nasty stuff. 

[Jeff Howe]

Pack works a two-out walk.

[Jeff Howe]

The hit-and-run almost works, but A-Rod is out by a step at first base to end the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 1: Texas 0, Mississippi State 0

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis threw 22 pitches in the first inning, while Valincius threw 21.
