I believe so, yes.

[Jeff Howe]

It's now a 6-1 lead for Illinois over Texas. A three-run home run off Max Grubbs was the big blow for the Illini in the top of the fourth.

The Longhorns have a lot of work to do.

Blake left the thread early. I blame him.

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has something going in the bottom of the fourth.

Schuessler draws a walk and moves to second on a wild pitch. Borba singles and then Winfield and Mendoza come through with back-to-back RBI base hits.

[Jeff Howe]

Max Belyeu delivers with an RBI double. It's now a 6-4 game.

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has runners in scoring position with the heart of the order coming up.

Gasparino makes it a one-run game, 6-5 on an RBI groundout.

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez grounds out to end the inning, but what a home half it was for the Longhorns.

Four runs on four hits with one left on base to get right back in the game.

That was a heck of a catch by Gasparino that blue took away on the review.
