My Youtube TV guide shows NCAA Tournement games TBA and ESPN has Baseball and ESPN 2 has softball so go to be either ESPNU or ESPN+

I'm told in the press box by tournament officials that ESPN hasn't made the call yet.

Ruger gave us what we needed. Good job

Flores almost (reviewing?) botched that play.

Flores waited a LONG time before going to first. K-State is appealing the inning-ending groundout.

Could have just flipped it to 2nd

[Jeff Howe]

The call on the field stands. The inning is over.

ESPN has MLB

I hope to hell it is not ESPN plus.

I'm assuming that's what caused the hesitation.

End of 7: Texas 14, K-State 5

Yep

[Jeff Howe]

Vanderbilt loses to Wright State, 5-4.

For the fourth time since the Super Regional format started in 1999, the No. 1 overall seed has been eliminated in a regional. The other times it happened were in 2007 (Vanderbilt), 2014 (Oregon State) and 2015 (UCLA)

 

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza is up with RISP and two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

K-State intentionally walked Mendoza to get to Chamberlain. The bases are loaded with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Chamberlain is doing a good job of staying alive with two strikes.

[Austalgia]

Gasparino needs to be out of the lineup.  Useless at bat.  3 balls and no strikes and you swing at 4th ball and pop it up to get 2nd out. Wow, needs a reset 

[Jeff Howe]

Chamberlain works a walk. Duplantier scores to make it a 15-5 game in favor of the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

Since Schloss has Stewart and Winfield on the bench, I'd get Schuessler and Belyeu out to get them off their feet.

[Jeff Howe]

I guess you could move Chamberlain to first, put Oliver Service behind the plate and then you'd have two outfielders available.

[Jeff Howe]

Belyeu grounded out to second with the bases loaded to end the top of the eighth.

[Jeff Howe]

M8: Texas 15, K-State 5

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas is back out for the eighth.

When's he's up there now the other team's thinking thanks for the free out

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas has hit his career in pitches (117), innings pitched (7.0) and he just hit a batter with one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Evasco with a two-run home run to left. It's a 15-7 lead for the Longhorns and that's it for Ruger.
