Baseball: No. 16 Texas vs. Darmouth Game Thread (Saturday)

[Jeff Howe]

A 1-3-6 pickoff ends the Dartmouth third. Good move by Harrison.

[Jeff Howe]

M3: Texas 1, Dartmouth 1

[texcoyote15]

Hitters are doing nothing at the plate today. 

[Jeff Howe]

After a Schuessler strikeout, Belyeu looks at strike three. He didn't like the call. Regardless, there are two outs for the Longhorns in the third.

Albert has retired six in a row, five on strikeouts.

[Jerry K]

Horns having a hard time with this pitchers fast ball. Lots of run on that fast ball. 

[Jeff Howe]

Make it seven in a row retired by Albert, with Flores retired in foul territory down the third-base side.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 3: Texas 1, Dartmouth 1

[JMarquette]

Bats have been silent against Ivy League powerhouse Dartmouth.

[pinkman_90]

Some pathetic at bats.  Look like a bunch of Texas kids that completely malfunction in the cold.  Guess you just have to tip your cap to the Ivy League stud with a 7 era.  

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison's day is done with one out in the top of the fourth. Drew Rerick comes in with runners in scoring position.

[BubbaJacques]

It's 2:09 pm and Dartmouth still sucks

[Jeff Howe]

Texas trades a run for an out. A 6-5 fielder's choice scores a run, making it 2-1 Dartmouth.

[Jeff Howe]

Rerick gets called for a balk and then a walk. Runners on first and second with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Rerick gets a groundball out to get out of the inning. Let's see if the Longhorns can get anything going.

[.45s]

Let's stop our Ks (5 after 3 innings) before they get too out of hand and get some hits and runs.

[Jeff Howe]

With two outs and a runner on first (a single to left by Rodriguez and a 5-4 fielder's choice by Gasparino), Winfield reaches base on a rocket back to the mound. The ball that hit Albert was 106 mph off Winfield's bat.

[pinkman_90]

Had some traffic that inning at least.  Small wins  against these Dartmouth arms 

[Jeff Howe]

Borba is retired on an infield popup. The Longhorns threaten in the fourth, but they don't have anything to show for it on the scoreboard.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 4: Dartmouth 2, Texas 1

[Jeff Howe]

Dre Duplantier is on the mound for the fifth. Ethan Mendoza has also replaced Casey Borba at second base.

[Jerry K]

Dre looking solid early. Lotta movement 

[Jeff Howe]

It's a three-up, three-down inning for Dre with a pair of strikeouts.

[Jeff Howe]

M5: Dartmouth 2, Texas 1

[Jeff Howe]

New pitcher for Dartmouth this inning is righty Bryce Loeger.

[Jeff Howe]

Albert scattered four hits over four innings, allowing one run (earned) with one walk, one wild pitch and five strikeouts.
