Baseball: No. 3 Texas vs. Oklahoma game thread (Thursday)

[Jeff Howe]

Jaxon Willits drives one back up the middle into center field. Gambill goes from first to third on the single, putting runners at the corners with two outs for OU.

[Jeff Howe]

A wild pitch by Bing allows Gambill to score from third. OU has the early lead, 1-0.

Great start. Geez 

[Jeff Howe]

Jason Walk grounds out to third on the 20th and final pitch of the inning by Bing. Unfortunately, the free pass (HBP) comes back to bite Texas, allowing OU to grab the lead after one.

...when he misses, they're not even persuasive pitches.

[Jeff Howe]

After a Flores pops out and Rodriguez strikes out, Schuessler singles to put the first runner on base for the Longhorns tonight.

That's a massive key. Around the zone gets hitters to chase. No where close doesn't 

[Jeff Howe]

Borba strikes out looking. The inning ends with Schuessler stranded on first.

Bing got behind in the count to the first two batters he faced, but both at-bats ended in outs. Two down, nobody on in the OU second.

[Jeff Howe]

Mason Hamlin works a walk with two outs. Bing is already up to 36 pitches through 1.2 innings.

Did Johnson succeed Skip Holliday as pitching coach at Texas? I can't remember the succession of pitching coaches for Augie - Frank Anderson, Skip Holliday, Skip Johnson?

[Jeff Howe]

Willis goes down on strikes to end the inning. Bing kills the two-out rally by OU, getting the game to third with Texas facing a one-run deficit.

Frank Anderson, Tom Holiday, Skip Johnson.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Must throw a strike on the first pitch to a batter.  Must not throw two ball in a row.

[Jeff Howe]

I've got to step away for a bit, but I'll be back as quick as I can.

[Hornito]

Guys finally allowed to swing at first pitches and they can’t resist the opportunity. Hopefully second time through they find the right balance with the aggression 

[Texas84]

Tie game on a botched rundown!

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Ah, the baseball gods have a sense of humor!
