Baseball: No. 12 Texas vs. Santa Clara Game Thread (Friday)

[Jeff Howe]

Flores has 10 extra-base hits in his last six games.

[Jeff Howe]

Max Grubbs is on the mound to work the sixth. He's trying to work around allowing a leadoff single.

[CJ Vogel]

Congratulations 1H under bettors! 

[Jeff Howe]

Too slow of a roller to Flores for him to try and turn two. Broncos have a runner on second with one out after a groundout to short.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs struck Joyce out and he's one strike away from getting out of the inning.

Garcia draws a walk. Medicoff then singles to drive in a run and it's a 2-1 game.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs gets Ross to ground out to first. The Broncos get one across but strand two.

M6: Texas 2, Santa Clara 1

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! Borba touches one off to left for a home run!

[Jeff Howe]

Borba was the first batter the new Santa Clara pitcher, Cooper Lanz, faced. It's now a 3-1 game.

[Jeff Howe]

We've had a Farmer strikeout and a Galvan walk.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza drives one back up the middle. Galvan goes from first to third on the hit, which gives Mendoza six multi-hit games in his last seven.

Belyeu is up with first and third and one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza steals second. It's now RISP with one out for Belyeu.

[Jeff Howe]

Belyeu strikes out and the Galvan is picked off trying to make his way back to third base. The double play ends the inning.

End of 6: Texas 3, Santa Clara 1

[Blake Munroe]

Just noticed the size of the glove for SC’s pitcher. Pretty sure dude has an outfielder glove. Don’t normally see that.

That was a hell of a defensive play by Santa Clara.
