Game 46: Texas at Texas A&M

Texas won another close one today. The line:

																			R	H	E
Texas			2	0	3			0	0	0			0	0	1		-		6	9	0
Texas A&M			2	1	1			0	0	0			1	0	0		-		5	8	1

It looked like the talk Coach Garrido had with the team after yesterday's game had an immediate effect. The Horns scored 2 in the top of the 1st. But then they gave up 2. So, I wasn't sure what was going on!

Adrian Alaniz started for the Horns but struggled (giving up 4 earned runs on 5 hits with one walk and one strikeout) and was replaced after he gave up a double to the lead-off batter in the 3rd. Kyle Walker replaced Adrian and pitched a pretty solid 4 innings (no runs, 1 hit, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts). Joseph Krebs went in for the 7th and did not do as well. He walked the first batter he saw and gave up a single to the next. So, Randy Boone came in and threw the remainder of the 7th and the 8th (giving up only one hit...and getting credit for the win). Austin Wood threw a perfect 9th (two strikeouts and a ground out to ss) for his 7th save of the year. Woo hoo!

Offensively, the Horns didn't get as many hits as they did yesterday but they put them together more efficiently. Which is, I think, one of Coach Garrido's complaints about the way the team played yesterday. Anyway, it was a good win. Here's hoping they sweep tomorrow! By the way, I am taking the afternoon off and will be in the stands. Hook 'em!
