Baseball: 2025 Alumni Game thread

Howard opens the third by fanning Adrian Rodriguez. The freshman swung at a fastball and missed.

Watching a live event on LHN is strange without Mack Brown talking up beautifully furnished casitas.

And not hearing Zeke and Zonk

[Jeff Howe]

Howard strikes out Flores. Nice start to the inning for the former Baylor transfer.

[Jeff Howe]

Howard's 60th pitch puts Galvan on first with a 2-out walk.

[Jeff Howe]

Howard retires Gasparino to end the inning.

Ruger Riojas will pitch the bottom of the third for the Varsity.

I thought this lineup was interesting to see, my guess before the season was that Winfield was going to lead off

[Jeff Howe]

It's always good to see Tres Barrera. Good dude who was a good ballplayer for the Longhorns.

Schuessler led off in the squad game CJ and I hung around for last week, IIRC.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas gets Barrera to ground out to third to open the top of the fourth.

One out as Riojas faces Kody Clemens.

[AJJ_Sports]

I love Riojas already 😂

[Jeff Howe]

The shift was on for Kody. Rodriguez knocked down a hard-hit ball to second base for the out.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas fans Zubia on three pitches. Nice inning of work for the UTSA transfer.

Coach Ty Harrington is awesome on color commentary.

I know Ty well as he lives in NB and my wife coached his daughters. Good dude. 

[Jeff Howe]

Cole Chamberlain with a one-out liner back up the middle. It went over Howard's head and into center field.

Two on, one out for Mendoza.

One of the best.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza flies out to center. Winfield tags and gets to third.

It's first and third with two outs and Howard is done after 79 pitches.

[Jeff Howe]

Ethan Walker, the lefty JC transfer from Walters State CC, is out of the bullpen and on the mound. 

[Jeff Howe]

Walker battled back from down 3-0 to Borba, striking him out with a fastball running in to get out of the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas goes upstairs and gets David Hamilton down on strikes.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas continues to mow down the Alumni bats. He strikes out Duke Ellis and retires Mike Antico to end the inning.

[Blake Munroe]

Very impressed with Riojas. There’s a reason that sources feel he’s the best pitcher on campus.
