Game 34: Texas at Kansas State

In the 7th, with the game tied at 2, Texas singled (infield hit up the middle) and then put down four bunts (in a row...without Kansas State managing to get any outs) to score 3 and go ahead. The pitcher committed an error on one of the plays. But still. Wow. Oh, and then Carson Kainer hit a double to drive in two more. The 7th was very good to the Horns. 'Loved it.

Texas went on to win 10-2. Adrian Alaniz got the win after struggling a bit early in the game. All-in-all, a great start to the series.

Coach Garrido's comments on the radio during the post-game interview: He noted that one of the things we saw hi this game is the power the Horns have. By playing at Disch-Falk, it appears that the team doesn't have much power. But, when they play in a field that's "home run friendly" they usually hit more home runs than the home team. He thought the team had a very good day...no errors, good adjustments, no notable ill-effects from being on the road. He also commented that the team is getting better.

Don't forget that tomorrow's game will be on TV on Fox Sports. Hook 'em!
