Baseball: Texas vs. UTSA Austin Regional game thread

[Jeff Howe]

Max Weiner heads out to the mound with Harrison struggling.

[f1revo]

Yeah we are going to need at least 3 more runs

And just like that, Miller walks and UTSA has the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the fifth.

Triple play in 3,2,...

[f1revo]

Tough on the pitcher when your 2B can't field a soft grounder.

[Jeff Howe]

Max Grubbs is up in the bullpen.

[Jeff Howe]

Miller reached on a HBP, BTW.

[PinchPullPancake]

Defense is letting us down

Liquor before beer, you're all clear.

Do as you please, I say.

I take it you have my bail money 🤣

[Jeff Howe]

Flores couldn't come up with a ground ball up the middle. It's a two-run single for Hodge and the Texas lead is down to 6-3.

[Jeff Howe]

Miller ran himself into an out, so UTSA has a man on first with one down.

[Jeff Howe]

A double play would be nice right here.

[horns96]

Flores can flash the leather, but I'd rather him make the routine outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Not sure what Rodriguez was doing there.

It's now first and third with one out.

[Jeff Howe]

That's it for Harrison. Schloss/Weiner will turn to Grubbs to get the Longhorns out of the jam.

This was once a 6-1 lead for Texas, but's a 6-3 game and UTSA has the tying run at the plate in the top of the fifth.

Super chat slush fund. Pun intended.

[f1revo]

Got to pull A Rod. Totally inept right now.

He was covering second on the steal? (I'm not listening to audio, but that's what I thought)

No, but he led the AL in home runs one season and RBI another.

Thank you for the refresh.

[Burntcowboy]

Getting a little worrisome in here

[LonghornLegends]

Lord the defense has been awful 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Jeff Howe]

Not Harrison's best night. It's up to the bullpen to keep Texas in the winner's bracket.

Evidently.  But he cannot lose the ball in play.

That's the only thing that explains why he was so close to the bag.

Except he still kept running to second with a ball hit right at him. He's plain bad as a defender right now.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs retires Gruell on strikes, but a double steal makes it a 6-4 game.
