OTF Premium Texas Baseball Regional Game 1 vs. HCU (Thread)

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza stole second, making it RISP with no outs for Galvan.

[Jeff Howe]

Bard just saved a wild pitch and prevented a Texas run by going out to get that one.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan's fly ball to right isn't deep enough to get Williams home. Payne's throw home holds Jonah at third base.

[Jeff Howe]

It's now RISP with one out for Belyeu.

[Jeff Howe]

Belyeu hacks badly at a break ball. Two down, RISP for Schuessler.

[GoHorns1]

Terrible at bat

[CJ Vogel]

That’s a closeeeee play at home.

Shu said I got it🤘🏿

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler comes through with an RBI base hit. We're waiting to see if it's a two-run hit or an RBI single.

[f1revo]

Holy sh!t are we entirely incapable of sliding at home properly? This base running is abysmal.

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss wasn't happy with Rodriguez for some reason. Not sure if it's because he was too close to the plate or because he signaled for Mendoza to slide.

[SuperDave0805]

Score please

[Jeff Howe]

The initial call stands and Mendoza is safe.

[Jeff Howe]

It's officially a two-run single to left by Kimble Schuessler with an advancement on the throw to the plate.

Texas has a 4-1 lead with a runner on second and two outs in the bottom of the fifth.

[GoHorns1]

Got lucky on the call

That’s big!!!

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez rifles one back up the middle. Schuessler scores from second to make it a 5-1 game.

[Texas84]

He was out. But close enough to stand.

[f1revo]

We're making these tags so so easy on the catcher. Not having to extend or work for the tag at all. Super lucky there.

He was out to me, but I’ll gladly take another two runs.

100%

[Jeff Howe]

Leiterman made a great play at third to field Flores' hard-hit grounder. But an awful throw allows Flores to reach with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores is given a single by the official scorer.

[Jeff Howe]

Borba lines one to center. Rodriguez scores (with a slide at home that needs a LOT of work).

Texas has opened up a 6-1 lead.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns are making good contact against Edwards in his third trip through the lineup.
