Comments

Here's what I wrote on my Yada Yada page after I got home earlier this evening:

Games like today's make me wonder about this team. The Horns really need to play like they did today when they're playing conference rivals. But, for some reason, they don't. I hope that turns around soon. They played a great game today beating Southwest Texas by a score of 7-5. Frank Halter had his best outing of the year but got no decision. Too bad; he deserved the win. And, Rad Weaver did a great job coming on in the 9th to shut SWT down and get his first save of the year. I think the radio announcers gave the Player of the Game award to Carlos Sepulveda (who did a good job as dh, going 3-for-4 with 1 run scored and 2 runs batted in) but I think I would've given it to Jason Aspito for his (dare I hope?) defensive turn-around (not to mention the fact that he scored what turned out to be the game-winning run). After the rough time he's had lately, it was very nice to see him make some sharp plays in the field. He had 6 assists and 1 put-out. He really looked comfortable and confident at 3b, fielding cleanly and making accurate throws without hesitation. I hope it's a sign of things to come.

And so...

    • Cridland doubled to the wall in the lf/cf gap. On the play, Cox held up to see if cf would make the play so only advanced to 3b.
    • Schumacher hit a sac fly to cf (rbi). Cox scored. Cridland moved to 3b.
    • Aspito flew out to cf.

    • Richardson singled to lf. Sepulveda moved to 2b.
    • Cox singled to lf (rbi). Sepulveda scored. On the play, Richardson reached for 3b and arrived at the base about the same time as the throw from lf. Fikac was unable to handle the throw, though, and the ball careened into the Texas dugout (e5). Richardson scored and Cox (who had run to 2b on the throw in from lf) moved to 3b.
