Game 11: Texas at Stanford

Texas lost to Stanford this afternoon 9-13. You never expect to win a series at Stanford. You hope, but you don't expect it. However, giving up 9 runs in an inning, as Texas did this afternoon in the bottom of the 3rd, pretty much seals your fate. I'm glad to report that the Horns didn't give up after falling behind 4-11 but they got into such a deep hole, there was no climbing out. KVET didn't carry the game...dunno why not. So, I listened for awhile to the Stanford stream over the 'net. I was very busy at work again, though, so didn't really hear much. The line:

RHE
Texas 202 010 112 - 9130
Stanford 209 010 01x - 13142

Randy Boone started and gave up 5 earned runs in 2.1 innings. Kyle Walker then gave up 4 earned runs (he walked 4 in-a-row) in 0 innings. Kenn Kasparek came on and gave up a grand slam...but only 3 earned runs in 2.1 innings. Jordon Street proved to be the highlight of the pitching staff for the Horns. He went 2.1 innings and gave up 3 hits...but no runs. Miles Clauss pitched the last inning for the Horns and gave up one last earned run. Offensive highlights: Drew Stubbs went 3-for-4 with a home run, 2 runs scored, and 2 rbi; Kyle Russell went 2-for-4 with 2 rbi; Carson Kainer went 3-for-4 with 2 rbi; and Brett Lewis went 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 1 rbi.

I didn't hear the disasterous 3rd inning but in an unusual move, when the Horns sent Kenn Kasparek in to pitch, they also sent Brett Lewis in to replace Preston Clark at c. Interesting. The bottom of the 3rd went like so: ground out, single, single, passed ball, hit by pitch, change pitcher (Walker for Boone), walk, walk, wild pitch, walk, walk, change pitcher (Kasparek for Walker) and catcher, walk, grand slam (by the guy who started it all with the ground out), strikeout, ground out. Yikes. Not pretty. In fact, very very ugly. Frankly, I'm glad I missed it.
