Delayed report: Baylor vs. Texas exhibition game

If you were paying attention to the TexasSports.com baseball page (rather than this page), you would've seen that Texas is in the midst of fall practices. They're also playing a couple of exhibition games before they finish things off with the Fall World Series. I hope you were paying attention. Things have been rather off-kilter around here for the last couple of months and I haven't had time to update this page much. Sorry about that. I did make it out to Dell Diamond on Saturday to see the Baylor/Texas exhibition game and had a nice time. There were quite a few Texas-exes in the crowd. It was fun seeing them.

The weather was nice and the mood was laid back. Since it was an exhibition game, the letter of the law (as it were) was not followed. Texas used a line-up of 11 batters...and added two more into the middle of things near the end of the game. Baylor used 9 batters for most of the game but threw in 3 extras in the final inning. The teams played 12 full innings. It was announced that they'd be playing 12 one-inning games but the report on the TexasSports.com page lists it as a "pre-arranged 12-inning affair" and reports the score as such. Shrug. I guess it doesn't really matter one way or the other. If it was 12 one-inning games, Texas won 3, Baylor won 1, and the rest ended in ties. If it was one 12-inning game, Texas won 5-3.

Please see my extended game report for all the details.

And, again...sorry for not being around much over the last couple of months. I do have a few things of interest to post and will try to get to them in the next few days. Sorry to say, one of them will not be a game report on the Texas State exhibition game. I don't think I'll be able to get away from work in time to see any of the game.
