Comments

I kept score as I listened to the game on the radio. Dunn had a very rough day. He started off pretty well but got into trouble in the 4th when he gave up 4 consecutive walks. The announcers said his rhythm seemed off. Coach Hooton, in his post-game interview, pretty much confirmed this analysis. Going back through the box, I found that Dunn went to a 2-2 or full count against 12 of the 18 batters he faced in the first 4 innings. Then, in the 5th, he started off with a strikeout and then gave up back-to-back homeruns. That proved to be his downfall. Munroe came on and did a great job in relief. Sadly, the offense wasn't quite up to the challenge, although the team did threaten up to the very end. Cridland had a great game, hitting his third homerun of the year in the 3rd and making a couple of great plays in rf.

And, so...

• 7th inning
  • Texas:
    • Loeffler popped out to 3b.
    • Moore struck out looking (1-2 count).
    • Miami mysteriously sent Gutierrez in to pitch. I say "mysteriously" because Santos seemed to be in control of the game. Either Santos had a pitch limit imposed before the game started or Miami wanted to get a lhp in to face the 3 left-handed batters about to come to the plate.
    • Cridland struck out swinging (0-2 count).
  • Miami:
    • Hill struck out looking (2-2 count).
    • Alvarez grounded out to ss (6-3).
    • Michaels singled to cf.
    • Burrell walked (full count).
    • Huff grounded out to 1b (3u).
• 8th inning
  • Texas:
    • Aspito grounded out to 1b (3u).
    • Texas announced Cox would pinch hit for Kolbach and Miami sent Howell in to pitch.
    • Cox popped out to 1b.
    • Schumacher (pinch hitting for Ivy) struck out swinging (0-2 count).
  • Miami (1 earned run):
    • Texas kept Schumacher in at 1b.

    • Crespo singled to cf.
    • Miami sent Clute in to pinch run for Crespo.

    • Jacobson hit a sac fly to cf. Clute moved to 3b.
    • Hill struck out swinging (full count).
• 9th inning
  • Texas (1 unearned run):
    • Miami sent Morrison in to pitch. I'm guessing Clute stayed in at 2b but the announcers never said one way or the other.
    • Sepulveda singled to lf toward the gap.
    • Nicholson struck out looking (0-2 count).
    • Edelstein (pinch hitting for Johnson) singled to rf. Sepulveda moved to 2b.
    • During Loeffler's at bat, Jacobson dropped the 2nd strike and both runners broke on the passed ball (at least I'm guessing it was a passed ball -- the announcers never said one way or the other). Jacobson tried to throw Edelstein out at 2b but the ball skipped through to cf. Sepulveda scored and Edelstein moved to 3b.
    • Loeffler struck out looking (1-2 count).
    • Moore grounded out to 3b (5-3).
  • Miami did not have to bat.
