Baseball: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 8 Auburn Game Thread (Friday)

[Jeff Howe]

M4: Texas 2, Auburn 0

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler squares one up to left. He leads off the bottom of the fourth with a single.

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler is on second after a wild pitch with one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Deja vu for Farmer. His second first-pitch double to left tonight. This one scores Schuessler and makes it a 3-0 game.

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah was SO close to an extra-base hit. It's ruled foul. Schloss is out to talk to the umpire.

[Class of 04]

Borba looks lost at the plate here lately.

[Jeff Howe]

Michael Cantu was not happy about that call. Looked like it went over the bag. Would've been extra bases for Jonah.

[VaHorn]

Schloss liked my tweet saying that I never used to watch Texas baseball before the regionals but I’m watching this year. And I’m watching this one! 

[Jeff Howe]

There's Jonah Williams' first hit and first RBI as a Longhorn. 104 mph off the bat, right back up the middle to make it a 4-0 game.

[Class of 04]

Fair ball this crew sucks

 

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah's RBI base knock knocks Cade Fisher out of the game. Auburn is making a pitching change.

[VaHorn]

Love to see this. Nice first start.

The baseball gods made it right, for sure.

[Jeff Howe]

Duplantier flies out to center. Two down with Williams on first and Mendoza up to bat.

[Jeff Howe]

Williams is retired at second base on a ground ball by Mendoza and the inning is over.

[Jeff Howe]

Two runs on three hits with one left on for Texas in the fourth.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 4: Texas 4, Auburn 0

Bottom of the lineup doing some damage is most welcome

Farmer, Jonah Williams and Duplantier are a combined 4-for-6. They've driven in three of the team's four runs.

[Jeff Howe]

Ike Irish gets one up into the wind and it carries into the YETI Yard. A two-run shot gets Auburn on the board and makes it a 4-2 game.

[Jeff Howe]

With the way the wind is blowing, anything hit to left-center will carry.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison rallies, getting McMurray to fly out to center to end the inning.
