Game 29: Texas at Texas Tech
I listened to today's game at Texas Tech on the radio and this report is based on that broadcast. Ricky Jacquez got the start and earned the win moving his record to 2-1. Erich Weiss was the offensive hero of the day, going 4-for-6 with a home run, 2 runs batted in, and 3 runs scored. The team combined for 19 hits, though, so nobody was left out. We got to see multiple-hits by Maitland, Weiss, Walsh, Marlow, Silver, Stell, and Etier; multiple-runs-batted-in by Payton, Weiss, Marlow, Silver, Felts, and Stell; and multiple-runs-scored by Weiss, Walsh, Marlow, Silver, and Stell. Pretty cool.
Here's the line (from GameTracker):

- Texas wins 14-3.
This was an especially nice win after the way things went during and after last night's game. The Horns played well except for the errors. It sounded like two of the errors were more-or-less tough luck calls so I'm not terribly torn up about them. The Horns will now play Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday and then Oklahoma State comes to town next weekend for our first conference series at home in the 2012 season. Hook 'em!

Game 28: Texas at Texas Tech
Briefly: Texas lost to Texas Tech 6-7 (in 14 innings) in Lubbock.
I missed most of the game but listened to the final 4 or 5 innings. It was heart-breaking. Texas managed to tie the score at 4-4 in the 7th and it remained 4-4 until the 14th when the Horns scored 2 on a pinch-hit 2-run single by Kevin Lusson. The Horns had sent Corey Knebel to the mound in the 8th and he was still in the game as the 14th started. The 14th went like so:
- McGruder reached on an infield single.
- Proudfoot struck out.
- Paiz reached on a fielding error by Etier. McGruder moved to 2b. On the play, it sounded like Etier was trying to rush himself to go for the double play. Instead, all hand safe. Damn.
- LeJeune then singled down the lf line, scoring McGruder.
- A ground out to 3b, moved runners to 2b and 3b.
- Texas intentionally walked the next batter to load the bases and set up the force at all four corners.
- Sadly, Burleson singled to rf, plating the runners at 2b and 3b.
- Game over.
And, then, the Tech team and many fans dog-piled at home plate. Huh? I've never seen fans dog-pile after any game. Or any team dog-pile after a regular-season game. Bizarre. In addition, some Tech fans took their aggression out verbally against the Texas radio broadcasters as well as the team and many of the Texas fans. They also trashed one of the team vehicles in the parking lot. Ugliness. Sigh...
It was a tough loss and the ugliness of the crowd made it that much worse.

Game 22: Texas at Kansas State
I'm so glad I stayed home to listen to today's game at Kansas State. The Horns won 8-5. They jumped out to a quick lead when Etier (hitting at the top of the lineup in the #2 spot for a change) and Weiss hit back-to-back triples followed by a double by Walsh. Etier went on to go 3-for-5 with 3 runs scored; Weiss went 3-for-4 (he was also hit by a pitch to reach base 4 times in all) with 2 home runs (!), 4 runs scored, and 4 batted in; Walsh went 4-for-5 with 1 run scored, 2 doubles, and 3 batted in. An absolutely fantastic offensive day for the 2, 3, and 4 hitters. Wow. Hoby Milner earned the win, moving his record to 4-3. Corey Knebel threw the final 1.1 innings to earn his 5th save of the season.
I listened to today's game on the radio and this report is based on that broadcast.

Game 21: Texas at Kansas State
Texas managed to pull off another extra-innings win today, beating Kansas State 6-4 in 11 innings. I was only able to listen to about an hour of today's game but it turned out to be the best part of the game...well, maybe the second-best part. I got to hear the Horns come from behind and tie things up. I did not get to hear the part where they won. Behind 0-3 going into the 6th, the Horns managed to scratch out a couple of runs. Jonathan Walsh reached on a 1-out wild-pitch strike out. (Always fun.) He stole second base and then Alex Silver was hit by a pitch. Jacob Felts doubled off the wall, scoring Walsh. Alas, Silver had to hold up to make sure the ball wasn't caught so only made it to 3b. Brooks Marlow then scored Silver on a ground out to 2b. The Horns, very sadly, gave up another run in the bottom of the 6th but rallied again in the 8th to tie things up...with the aid of another hit batter (Erich Weiss, who eventually scored on a balk), a really nice sac bunt by Silver, and an rbi-single by Marlow. It was at this point that I had to tune out.
With the game tied 4-4, Texas sent Knebel to the mound in the bottom of the 8th. According to the box score, Knebel went the distance. He threw 4 innings without giving up any hits or runs. He struck out 4 and walked 2 (one of them an intentional walk...the home half of the 10th was odd). He got the win.
So, how did Texas score those two runs in the 11th? A 2-out rally. With 2 out, Mark Payton, Taylor Stell, Erich Weiss, and Jonathan Walsh hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back singles! The Wildcats went 3-up/3-down in the bottom of the inning. So the series stands at 1-1.

Game 20: Texas at Kansas State
I went out to listen to music and missed almost all of tonight's game against Kansas State...which the Horns lost 2-5. I managed to hear the bottom of the 8th wherein K-State scored a run on a balk. I dozed off during the top of the 9th and woke up in time to hear a very disgusted Coach Garrido saying that his team was outplayed by Kansas State in every facet of the game. He was not a happy man. And, after hearing what he had to say, I can't say I'm sorry I missed the game. Here's a link to the writeup and the box score from the TexasSports.com site.
For those of you with access, it appears that all the games against Kansas State are being broadcast on Fox College Sports Central (channel 432 on TimeWarner and 648 on AT&T U-verse in Austin).
