Game 37: Texas at Texas A&M

I listened to the game on KVET (Craig Way and Bill Little on the air). This report is based on that broadcast.

The line:

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Texas	0	0	0	3	1	0	1	2	1	8	10	0
Texas A&M	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	4	3

Here's how things played out...

• 1st inning, Horns
• Ross Stripling (rhp) on the mound for the Aggies.
• Cohl Walla (lf) lined a single into lf.
• Brandon Loy (ss) moved Walla to 2b on a 3-4 sac bunt.
• Note: Alan Trubow just tweeted that he's never seen so few fans at Olsen Field. Hmmm...
• Tant Shepherd (1b) grounded out to 2b. Craig Way thought the ball was going to get through up the middle but the second baseman was shifted over toward 2b and he got to the ball for the out.
• Cameron Rupp (c) flew out to shallow cf.
• 1st inning, Aggies
• Brandon Workman (rhp) on the mound for Texas.
• Matt Juengel (lf) struck out swinging.
• Note: Craig Way just said it's a good crowd...not as big as last night but good. Double hmmm....
• Andrew Collazo (cf) worked the count full then went down swinging (8 pitches).
• Brodie Greene (ss) tried to get aboard via bunt but was thrown out (1-3).
• 2nd inning, Horns
• Russell Moldenhauer (dh) struck out looking (1-2 count).
• Kevin Keyes (rf) struck out swinging (2-2 count).

• 2nd inning, Aggies
• Joe Patterson (dh) struck out looking.
• Adam Smith (2b) flew out to cf (in left-center).
• Kenny Jackson (1b) struck out looking.
• That's 6 in-a-row.
• 3rd inning, Horns
• Tim Maitland (cf) grounded out to ss.
• Jordan Etier (2b) went down swinging (1-2 count).
• Note: Trubow (via Twitter) and now Way and Little have all commented that the home plate ump has a very big strike zone.
• Walla worked the count full and then flew out down the lf line (10 pitches during that at-bat).
• And, that's 9 in-a-row for the Aggies.
• 3rd inning, Aggies
• Joaquin Hinojosa (rf) grounded out (high-chopper) to ss.
• Caleb Shofner (3b) struck out swinging on 3 pitches.

• Workman is perfect through 3 with 6 strikeouts. Nice.

• Sounds like Stripling is having a much better game than usual.
• Loy drew a 4-pitch walk.
• Shepherd, sadly, grounded into a 6-4-3 double play. Sigh...
• Rupp singled into rf.
• Moldenhauer singled past the second baseman into cf, moving Rupp to 2b.
• Which prompted a visit to the mound by Childress.
• Keyes homered to straightaway cf!
• Lusson struck out swinging.
• Texas up 3-0.
• 4th inning, Aggies
• Juengel worked the count full and then drew a 7-pitch walk.
• There goes the perfect game.
• Collazo singled through the left side, moving Juengel to 2b.
• And, there goes the no-hitter.
• Which prompted a visit to the mound by Skip Johnson.
• Greene flew out to cf. Juengel could not advance.
• Patterson grounded into a 6-4-3 double play!
• Texas up 3-0.
• 5th inning, Horns
• Maitland struck out swinging (1-2 count). The catcher dropped the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out.

• Loy flew out to cf in right-center.

• 6th inning, Horns
• Shepherd grounded out to 3b.

• Keyes struck out swinging (2-2 count).
• Lusson struck out looking (2-2 count).
• Texas up 4-0.

• Moldenhauer homered over the rf fence!
• Keyes struck out swinging (2-2 count).

• Collazo flew out to rf (1st pitch).
• Greene singled through the left side. First hit of the series for Greene.
• Patterson grounded out to 2b.
• Texas wins 8-0!

Workman gets his 3rd complete-game win of the year to move his record to 7-1. What a game! And, what a series! Throwing two shut-outs is fantastic. Especially when they're supported by so many runs. 'Love it.

The Horns now host UT-Arlington on Tuesday and then the Okie State Cowboys over the coming weekend.

Hook 'em!
