Game 56: Oklahoma at Texas (Big 12 Tournament)

Texas jumped out to a nice early lead and seemed to be coasting along with Kenn Kasparek on the mound. Kenn got into trouble in the 7th, though. The Horns ended up giving up 6 runs in said 7th, allowing the Sooners to go ahead by 1. The Horns tied things back up in the bottom of the 7th. Whew. The Horns then scraped another run across in the bottom of the 8th to go ahead 8-7. 'Thought that would be the game. But, no.

The top of the 9th went, distressingly, like so:

I freely admit that my hopes were rather low at this point. Going into the 9th, all the Horns had to do was hold 'em. Ack!

And, then the bottom of the 9th:

Horns win!!! Final score 11-10. Oh. My. What fun. Keith Shinaberry, by the way, got the win. Heh.

Now, we just had to wait and see if the Aggies could do good by us and beat Missouri. And, guess what? They did it. Now we wait on the results of Pool 2 to see who the Horns will be playing in the Championship game. Hook 'em!!!
