Game 48: Texas State at Texas

Texas used some pretty solid pitching and fielding to beat Texas State 2-1 earlier this evening. Texas State jumped out to a 1-run lead in the 1st. Kenn Kasparek started and combined with Joey Parigi, Keith Shnaberry, and Joseph Krebs to hold the Bobcats to that one run. Texas scored single runs in the 4th and 8th. The game started about 45 minutes late due to a sudden rain storm. I got tied up at work, though, and didn't get to Disch-Falk until the 3rd inning. So, I missed the early part of the game. Apparently, the Bobcats were able to score in the 1st because Drew Stubbs slipped and fell on the wet turf in the outfield. It looked like the game would go into extra innings until Bradley Suttle got a 2-out double in the 8th. He scored on a single by Preston Clark to lf. On the play, the Texas State left fielder threw the ball in to the catcher in time to get Bradley out at the plate but the catcher could not handle the throw. Bradley slid in safely. Whew. Game over. Texas wins. And, it's on to the second-to-last conference series. Go, Horns!
