Comments

I kept score as I listened to the game on the radio. I'm sorry to say I was very distracted by phone calls and missed a few plays, so my box is not nearly as accurate as usual. Sorry about that.

Random notes:

There was apparently some sort of "incident" involving people (fans, I guess you'd call them) throwing debris at the Longhorn team as they boarded their bus after last night's game. See the Statesman's article.
The Horns tried my [sarcasm alert!] favorite play yet again today with its usual amount of success. Bookout was intentionally walked twice. Park followed up both walks with RBI singles. And, Bookout scored once. You just gotta love it, doncha? No? Yeah. Me neither. I can't believe how much the Horns rely on this strategy that continues to prove unsuccessful.
Bookout's homerun was his 23rd of the year. Wow. That's one shy of the single-season record at OU. Double wow.
Geary threw 4 wild pitches. You'd think he would've been a lot less successful, eh? 'Course, he got tons of run support.

And so...

Game summary:

1st inning
- Texas (3 runs, 2 unearned):
  - Cox singled to rf.
  - Moore reached on an error by the pitcher (e1) on a sac bunt attempt. The pitcher failed to field a drag bunt down the 1b line.
  - During Cridland's at bat, Cox moved to 3b and Moore to 2b on a wild pitch.
  - Cridland walked.
  - Kolbach doubled off the fence in rf (2 rbi). Cox and Moore scored. Cridland moved to 3b.
  - Edelstein popped out to 1b.
  - Schumacher hit a sac fly to cf (rbi). Cridland scored.
  - Nicholson struck out swinging.
- OU (3 earned runs):
  - Hart walked.
  - Hill flew out to lf.
  - Wathan singled to cf. Hart moved to 3b.
  - Bookout hit a homerun over the lf fence (3 rbi).
  - Park flew out to lf.
  - Shackelford grounded out to the pitcher (1-3).
2nd inning
- Texas:
  - Sepulveda flew out to cf. Hill apparently stumbled and fell but still managed to make the catch.
  - Ivy flew out to rf.
  - Cox doubled to the lf/cf gap.
  - Moore grounded out to 2b (4-3).
- OU:
  - Montenegro grounded out to ss. Moore dove to his left, jumped up, and nipped Montenegro at 1b.
  - Walters grounded out to 3b (5-3) on a bunt attempt.
  - Van Horn struck out looking.
3rd inning
- Texas:
  - Cridland struck out looking.
  - Kolbach struck out swinging. The announcers said it was a foul tip that went all the way back to the screen. But, the ump ruled it a strikeout and the catcher tagged Kolback for the out. Garrido argued the call with the ump to no avail.
  - Edelstein singled up the middle and moved to 2b on a wild pitch during Schumacher's at bat.
  - Schumacher grounded out to 2b (4-3).
- OU (3 earned runs):
  - Hart struck out looking.
  - Hill doubled off the lf fence.
  - Wathan struck out looking.
  - Bookout was intentionally walked to set up the force. [Sigh...]
  - Park singled to lf (rbi). Hill scored. Bookout moved to 3b. The announcers thought an error should've been charged to Ivy on the play as he failed to field the ball which then went into lf.
  - Shackelford doubled to the lf/cf gap (2 rbi). Bookout [who'd been intentionally walked, don't forget] and Park scored.
  - Texas sent Kautsch in to pitch.
  - Montenegro grounded out to 2b (4-3).
4th inning

  - Walters grounded out in front of the plate (2-3).
  - Van Horn singled to lf.
  - Hart singled to lf. Van Horn moved to 2b.
  - Hill singled to cf. Sepulveda didn't get a good break on the ball which was catchable. The runners, therefore, held up and didn't score. Van Horn moved to 3b and Hart to 2b.
  - Wathan grounded out to 1b (3-1, rbi). Van Horn Scored. Hart moved to 3b and Hill to 2b.
  - Bookout was intentionally walked for the second time in a row to set up the force. [Sigh...]
  - Park singled down the 3b line (2 rbi). Hart and Hill scored. Bookout moved to 2b. [So much for the force out.]
