Texas State vs. Texas exhibition game

I managed to make it out to the Dell Diamond for most of Friday's exhibition game against Texas State. I arrived at 4:20 (the announced start time was 4:30) but missed the top of the 1st inning and the first couple of Texas batters in the bottom of the inning. Texas has started to make a very bad habit of doing this sort of thing (starting games early) and I don't like it. Why can't the coaches and media folks get their act together for this sort of thing? It's not rocket science. Announce a time and stick to it. Please. I'm not holding my breath that the practice will end any time soon. Sigh...

Anyway. Texas ended up losing the game. Texas State scored solo runs in the 3rd and 4th. Texas came back with solo runs in the 6th and 7th to tie things up. However, they gave up 2 more in the 8th. Kevin Keyes hit his 2nd home run in as many fall exhibition games in the 9th to bring the Horns back within one run. Alas, the game ended shortly thereafter. Texas lost 3-4. See the TexasSports.com report for a bit more info.

I didn't keep score but did take quite a few photos. I've got the first set of them up on a separate page and will post more as time permits. See the Texas State game photos page to see the photos. Don't forget to check back over the next few days for updates.

UPDATE (November 4). I finished uploading the last of the photos this evening. Check 'em out.
