Game 31: Texas at Oklahoma (final)

I got a call and missed most of the rest of the game. But, woo hoo! Texas wins 9-4. Excellent.

Texas pitchers: Kenn Kasparek (no decision, 4.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 4 walks, 3 strikeouts), Joseph Krebs (1 inning, 2 hits, 2 earned runs, no balls, no strikeouts, 1 hit batter), Randy Boone (win, 2.2 innings, 4 hits, 1 unearned run, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts), and Austin Wood (save, 1 inning, 3-up-3-down, 1 strikeout). All in all, a good win. And, Randy did well in his return which is great news.

On the offensive side of things, everyone but Nick Peoples and Jordan Danks had a hit. Nick did score once. Preston Clark and Drew Stubbs each hit a 3-run homer. On the defensive side of things, not so good. Both teams committed four errors. Ugh. I did not hear the details of most of the errors so can't really comment on 'em. Other than to point out that Texas only gave up one unearned run so it seems that the team managed to overcome them, for the most part. Three of the OU errors were charged to the starting pitcher. Odd.

Coach Garrido's one-word summary of the game in the post-game interview: "Wow." He commented that Randy Boone got better as he got going, and was very competitive. He said that Randy wants to be the closer and if he continues to pitch the way he did tonight, he can definitely help the team out in that role.

'Hope the brooms come out tomorrow! Hook 'em!
