Comments

I kept score as I listened to the game on the radio. It sounded like there was a light drizzle or steady rain for much of the game. It's actually rather amazing that OU didn't score more runs as they left the bases loaded 3 times. Coach Garrido and both radio announcers commented that Dunn pitched a much better game than the line would indicate. He had some bad luck and the fielding was not nearly as sharp as it should've been as the Horns committed 4 errors.

Random notes:

Kade Johnson apparently did not make the trip to Oklahoma. The announcers said something about a (not very serious) injury and the need to concentrate on his school work.
Most of the team flew to Oklahoma yesterday. Jason Moore, however, had to stay in Austin to take a test this morning and flew into Oklahoma this evening, arriving at the field just 3 minutes before Texas had to turn its lineup in to game officials.
All but one (Elsey) of the men who went to the plate for OU had at least one hit and all but two (Elsey and Walters) scored at least one run. Oddly enough, Elsey and Walters were also the only batters who failed to strikeout.

And so...

  - Shackelford hit a homerun over the cf fence (3 rbi). [Yet another intentionally walked batter scores against Texas.]
  - Texas sent Seibel in to pitch. At the same time, Braswell went in at ss for Moore who apparently injured himself as he dove for the ball Hart hit into lf earlier in the inning. [In the post-game interview, Coach Garrido said Moore was suffering from stomach cramps which he (Garrido) felt were probably stress-related. He said Moore's had a lot to worry about regarding class-work recently. The announcers mentioned early in the game that Moore had barely arrived at the field in time to play as he'd stayed in Austin to take an exam, flew to Oklahoma on the first flight available, and arrived at the field about 3 minutes before the lineups had to be turned in by the coaches.]
  - Montenegro grounded out to ss (6-3).
7th inning
- Texas:
  - OU sent Walters in at lf.

  - Hart struck out.
  - During Hill's at bat, Cox tried to pick Walters off at 3b but the throw got away from Ivy at 3b. Walters returned to 3b safely and Van Horn moved to 2b on the throwing error (e2).
  - Hill struck out swinging.
  - Wathan was intentionally walked to load the bases and set up the force out. [Again I say: sigh...]
  - Bookout grounded out to 1b (3-1). [For a change, the IBB doesn't hurt Texas.]
