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

[Treston Marshall]

Is Duplantier making his case for mid week starter?

[Hookem1012]

Seeing Will hit well is great.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza put a charge into one, but it died on the warning track. Today's weather isn't conducive to the long ball.

[Jeff Howe]

 

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan put a barrel on it, it was just hit right to the shortstop. Two down in the Texas seventh.

[Jeff Howe]

Schuuessler's sinking liner drops into left field for a two-out base hit. Belyeu to the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Puig dried to make a sliding catch in center field but couldn't come up with it. Belyeu is awarded an RBI double, scoring Schuessler to put the Longhorns ahead, 3-2.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns have their first lead of the game with two outs in the bottom of the seventh.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores flies out to left to end the inning with Belyeu stranded on second.

[Jeff Howe]

One run on two hits with one left on for Texas in the seventh.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 7: Texas 3, Dartmouth 2

That ball is gone any other day of the season probably.

[CJ Vogel]

Very solid stuff from Duplantier so far today.

[Jeff Howe]

Infield hit by Banez. He's now on second base after Galvan throws it away from Schuessler. It's a throwing error on Galvan and Dartmouth has the tying run in scoring position.

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino tracks down a fly ball in shallow center. Two away with the tying run on second for Dartmouth.

[pinkman_90]

Galvan needs to be a ++ hitter to make up for his defense.  

[Jeff Howe]

Dre's day ends after 3.2 innings. Will Mercer is coming into the game with two down in the top of the eighth.

[texcoyote15]

Very nice outing by Deplantier.

Yeah I’m a big fan of Dre. I hope he has a great season. 

[Jeff Howe]

Mercer issues a walk, gets behind in the count and Schloss goes to the bullpen. Max Grubbs is on the mound to try and get Texas out of the inning.

[Jerry K]

Schloss with the quick hook

[Jerry K]

One notable difference between Schloss and Pierce. Schloss typically doesn’t wait long to make a change. 

[pinkman_90]

Mercer threw 3 strikes to the first guy and only got one called.  Ump likes the sliders that are a foot high and 2 ft outside.  

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs hits Hower. The bases are loaded with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs is now one pitch away from getting out of the inning.
