Texas vs. UTSA: Austin Regional elimination game thread

[Jeff Howe]

Brown fires a first-pitch strike to Ethan Mendoza and we're off and running with the nightcap.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza gets things started with a single up the middle.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza went 3-for-5 with a double in the win over K-State.

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss said Galvan was one of several players who got IV fluids between games. Technically while the game was still going since Galvan was lifted for Cole Chamberlain in the sixth. 

[Jeff Howe]

Ground ball up the middle by Belyeu after Galvan singles through the left side. Galvan is retired at second base, but Belyeu reaches on the fielder's choice. It's first and third with one out for Schuessler. 

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler is retired in foul territory down the first-base side. Two away for Adrian Rodriguez.

[Jeff Howe]

If nothing else, they're making Brown use a lot of pitches. No. 17 is coming up.

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez strikes out, but he makes it to first and Mendoza scores on a wild pitch. For now, it's a 1-0 lead for the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

Play is under review.

[horns96]

He's out. 

[dentonhorn]

Hit him it looks like.

[Jeff Howe]

The call is overturned. It's a strikeout by Rodriguez. The Longhorns leave two on base in the top of the first.

[Jeff Howe]

M1: Texas 0, UTSA 0

Wasted opportunity already

For anyone just following the game on this thread, Rodriguez swung through a pitch that hit him in the thigh.

Yes. It's a dead ball when it hits the batter, even on a wild pitch. If he had just swung through, the run would've counted and Texas would still be batting with the lead.

My point is he whiffed on a ball that ended up so far out of the zone it actually hit him in the thigh.

[Jeff Howe]

Lytle gives it a ride to right, but Belyeu snags it on the warning track in front of the bullpen for an out.

There's that too.

[Jeff Howe]

This zone is T-I-G-H-T.

[Jeff Howe]

Taussig draws a walk. One on, one out for McClure.

[Jeff Howe]

McClure crushes the first pitch he sees from Hamilton over the wall in right. Two-run home run gives UTSA the early lead, 2-0.

Did I look at it right? This Brown has a. eRA of 7.80?

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Effing walks!!

[Jeff Howe]

Hamilton grooved one and McClure made him pay.
