Game 26: Texas at Oklahoma
Back on track! Texas beat Oklahoma 5-0 tonight. Taylor Jungmann pitched 7 innings for the win. He gave up 4 hits (including 1 double), struck out 6, and walked 2. Chance Ruffin threw the final 2 innings. He hit the first batter he faced then struck out the next 6! What a turnaround from Tuesday night. So glad to see it.
The line:
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 11 | 0 |
| Oklahoma | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 |
Sadly, I only got to hear about half of the game. I worked late so missed the first inning, then got a couple of phone calls, and I made the mistake of sitting down in my recliner after I ate dinner instead of going to my computer and...shameful admission...I actually dozed off during the 7th inning or so. I got another phone call during the 9th and heard a bit of the tail end of things but spent most of the end of the game talking to one of my aunts. Sigh...
The Horns clearly did string some hits together this evening. But, they also struck out a lot. Eleven (11!) strikeouts on the day...2 each for Rupp (who also hit 2 sac flies), Moldenhauer (who also hit a solo shot in the 2nd), and Walsh, and 1 each for Loy, Keyes, Kyle Lusson, Kevin Lusson, and Etier. Not pretty. But, I'll take 11 hits and 5 runs any day! Texas, interestingly, made one of their usual defensive substitutions early in the game...sending Rowe into cf and moving Walla to lf in the bottom of the 5th. Kyle Lusson went in defensively in the 7th. They usually don't make those changes 'til the 8th or 9th. Hmmm...
Here's a link to the recap on the TexasSports site. From there, you can easily get to the box score and play-by-play.
In the post-game show they seemed worried about the weather wrecking havoc with the rest of the schedule. They speculated that if tomorrow's game (scheduled for a 6:30 start) gets rained out, they'll play the 2nd game at 10 am on Saturday so they'll be able to be ready for the 2 pm start time for Game 3 which is scheduled to air on ESPNU. How ever things play out, I sure am glad the Horns started this series off with a win. And, a shut-out is always particularly sweet, eh? Hook 'em!
