[Jeff Howe]

End of 4: Texas 0, Santa Clara 0

[Jeff Howe]

Spencer is back on the mound for the fifth with 70 pitches under his belt.

[Jerry K]

SC pitcher with 85 pitches. I don’t think he has much left in the tank. Horns can’t get to the pen soon enough. 

[Jeff Howe]

Olson rips one by Rodriguez into foul territory down the left-field line for a double.

[Jeff Howe]

Max Weiner out for a mound visit with Spencer up to 81 pitches.

[Jeff Howe]

A review is underway to see if Spencer hit Williams.

[Jeff Howe]

The pitch to Williams was called a ball. Spencer strikes him out on the next pitch to end the inning.

Let’s get the sticks going here

Max Ross, the center fielder, drops a long drive by Galvan. Still waiting to see if it's a double or an error, but Galvan is on second to lead off the fifth.

Belyeu gets plunked on the first pitch he sees, which was the 90th of the night for Gomez.

[Jeff Howe]

Center fielder and left fielder get crossed up on a ball to the gap off the bat of Flores. Mendoza scores and Belyeu gets all the way home.

It's a two-run double for Flores and Texas has the lead, 2-0.

[Jeff Howe]

One out in the bottom of the fifth with Rodriguez up.

[Blake Munroe]

FINALLY quit stranding runners. That was big time.

And a phenomenal at bat by Flores. That was an experienced AB. 

[Jeff Howe]

Flores is on third on a Rodriguez groundout. We've got a review to see if the Broncos committed catcher's interference.

Interference is the call. Gasparino is awarded first base. It's first and third with two outs for Schuessler.

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler's first-pitch groundout to third ends the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Two runs on two hits with two left on for Texas in the fifth.
