Game 50: Kansas at Texas

It really is quite amazing that the Horns managed to get these first two games of the Kansas series in. Austin has suffered through several severe thunderstorms over the last few days. I got caught out driving in two of them and let me say: no fun! But, they've stayed well clear of the baseball schedule. Excellent.

The Horns earned their 7th win in a row this afternoon, beating Kansas 11-4. Riley Boening started, pitched 6 shut-out innings, and got the win. He faced 25, gave up three singles, threw seven strikeouts, walked three batters and hit one. All on 94 pitches by my count. Joseph Krebs, Austin Wood, and Keith Shinaberry pitched the final three. Details to come. (I've decided to do a complete game summary today for some reason...link below.)

On the offensive side of things, everyone but Preston Clark had at least one hit. Preston has been on a big hitting tear lately so that's rather ironic. That's baseball for you. He did contribute to the scoring by advancing Carson Kainer on a sac bunt in the 2nd. Carson went on to score the first run of the game for the Horns. He was also the victim of a couple of really nice defensive plays by the Jayhawks. Multihitters: Peoples, Wheeless, Stubbs, Suttle, Fuller, and Lewis. Multiple runs scored: Peoples, Kainer, Fuller, and Lewis. Good game.

I'm posting a complete game summary for today's game. Have at it.
