Is Jonah the fastest on the team? 

Duplantier is in that conversation. 

[Jeff Howe]

Williams advances to third on a groundout to short by Galvan. The second run of the game for the Longhorns is 90 feet from home plate with Belyeu at the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Belyeu just fouled off a missile into the Texas dugout.

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah is trying to mess with Edwards. His lead is about halfway to home plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Rader couldn't field Belyeu's grounder to second base. It's scored as an error. Regardless, Williams scores and Texas has a 2-0 lead.

[Jeff Howe]

Belyeu is in scoring position after stealing second.

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler looks at a third strike, which ends the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Two runs on a hit and one left on for the Longhorns in the third.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 2: Texas 2, Houston Christian 0

[Texas84]

Guyz, that was our first K! 

[Jeff Howe]

Leiterman, with a two-out single up the middle, keeps the inning alive for HCU.

[Jeff Howe]

I don't have the attendance for today's game, but I can guarantee you that nobody in or around this stadium is having more fun than Jonah Williams.

That's a small victory worth celebrating.

[Jeff Howe]

Halligan executes the hit-and-run with two outs for the Huskies. The single to center makes it first and third with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Arch Manning and Michael Taaffe are here watching from a suite.

[Realist Horn]

He’s getting hit harder than Walker was, why didn’t he make the change when he had two guys on? Odd 

[Jeff Howe]

Rader slaps a double down the third-base line and into the left-field corner. It's a 2-1 lead for the Longhorns, and the Huskies have RISP with two outs.

[Burntcowboy]

Finally get the bats going and our pitching goes to crap

[Class of 04]

Two outs and a 1-2 count turns into a snowball.

[cmk4pres]

Just not good by Sonnier. Not at all. I hate bullpen days

Speculating on my part, but I know they want to get a longer look at Saunier. If he can get out of jams against HCU then you can't rely on him to start at some point against better competition.

[Jeff Howe]

Saunier ends the threat by getting Roper to pop out to short. HCU strands a pair after scoring one run on three hits in the top of the fourth.

[Jeff Howe]

M4: Texas 2, HCU 1

[Jeff Howe]

Arkansas trailing North Dakota State in the bottom of the first doesn't make me mad.

[Jeff Howe]

That play at first was close enough to review, but it's a 5-3 groundout for Rodriguez.
