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.

[Jeff Howe]

Shibley can't make a catch on a sinking liner to right by Flores. Duplantier is on third base, Flores is on first. One out with Galvan at the plate.
