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

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas is done. Not the outing he needed to have tonight.

Ethan Walker is the first man out of the bullpen.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 4: OU 5, Texas 1

[Hornito]

Love this trend where pitchers have season highs in Ks when they face our lineup 

[bourbasted]

Nice smash by Galvan

[bourbasted]

Tieing run on 2nd, one out.  Galvan knocked in 2, score now 5-4

[bourbasted]

Schuss up with Galvan on second.

[bourbasted]

Schuss strikes out looking.  This pitcher has had good stuff all night.

[bourbasted]

WHOA!!  Flores with a triple off the center-right field wall.  Galvan scores and we are tied at 5-5!  Texas still at bat with 2 outs in the top of the 5th.  New ball game, folks!

[Texas84]

This game is nuts.

 

[Jeff Howe]

An RBI single to center by Rodriguez brings Flores home from third and gives Texas a 6-5 lead.

[bourbasted]

Change of pitcher for 0U, Rodriguez knocks a base hit into center field scoring Flores, Texas now up 6-5.  Great inning for the offense!

Jeff's back and on it.  This concludes my play by play 😁.  Hook Em!

[Jeff Howe]

M5: Texas 6, OU 5

[Jeff Howe]

Ethan Walker retires the Sooners in order in the sixth.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 5: Texas 6, OU 5

[bourbasted]

Walker brought his A-Game tonight.  Looking very sharp.

[bourbasted]

Borba with effectively a swinging bunt outruns the throw.  Good hustle there!

[bourbasted]

Mendoza swung so hard the 0u pitcher's skirt blew up.  Strike out.

[bourbasted]

Just read Jeff's original post.  I'll offer a bit of commentary, unless anyone has any major objections (and probably even if they do).  Belyeu strikes out with Borba on first for the second out.

Galvan grounds out to end the inning. Midway through the 6th, Texas 6, 0u 5.

[bourbasted]

Walker strikes 0u batter out for the 1st out.

[bourbasted]

land-thief batter quickly down 0-2 with two foul balls.

[bourbasted]

Schloss comes out to have a visit with Walker with a 1-2 count.  Kind of weird, but he's now made the move.  Walker is done, in two innings he gets 3 strikeouts.  Grubbs coming in for the Horns.

Grubbs comes in and gets the strikeout.  Some saying the strikeout will be credited to Walker, but I've got no idea and don't get paid enough to give a damn.

[bourbasted]

Another strikeout for Grubs.  blOwU goes down in order to end the 6th.  Texas up 6-5.
