Baseball: No. 5 Texas vs. Texas State Game Thread

[Assistant Regional Manager]

There is zero benefit to doing a home and home with Texas State every year and watching them sell out by throwing weekend starters and their closer in the 6th inning.

Are mid week game lulls going to be the norm under Schloss?  Don’t know his history of this at TCU or A&M to know for certain.

Coming into tonight, Schloss is 47-9 in midweek games since 2020.

Flores was great until he gave up the cycle with 2 outs. Need some good at bats here 

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler flies out and Borba strikes out for two quick outs.

That's rough.

[pinkman_90]

I haven’t been able to watch the last few games but feel like anytime I read an update Borba is committing an error.  

[Jeff Howe]

Chamberlain swings and misses for strike three. The Longhorns go down in order in the eighth.

[Jeff Howe]

Dre Duplantier is coming into the game to work the ninth.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 8: Texas State 5, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Park's triple in the eighth has been ruled an error. The play by Borba is still a hit, not an error.

[Jeff Howe]

Dre with a 1-2-3 ninth.

[Jeff Howe]

M9: Texas State 5, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Alex Valentin, who's making his eighth appearance of the season (four starts), is on to work the ninth inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Farmer, Duplantier and Mendoza due up for Texas in the ninth.

[Jeff Howe]

Excluding last season's game in Houston, the road team has won the last six meetings in the Texas-Texas State series. The Bobcats are three outs away from making it seven wins in a row for the road team.

[Jeff Howe]

Farmer leads off the bottom of the ninth with a walk.

[Jeff Howe]

Duplantier fouls a 3-1 pitch back to the screen. Full count.

[Jeff Howe]

Texas State pitching has recorded 11 strikeouts. 

[Jeff Howe]

RBI double to the left-center field wall by Gumbo. Farmer scores from first to make it a 5-3 game.

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has a runner in scoring position and the tying run at the plate with no outs in the bottom of the ninth.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza is due for a hit, it feels like.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza is a third batter in a row to work a full count.

[Jeff Howe]

 

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza checks his swing and goes down on strikes. One down. Flores up.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores is 0-for-4 tonight with a strikeout.
