Game 43: Texas at Baylor

I listened to the game on KVET (Craig Way and Keith Moreland with the call). This report is based on that broadcast.

The line...

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

Geez. That was nerve-wracking!

Taylor Jungmann started and ended up leaving the game with Baylor ahead by one. Hard luck Jungmann, again, I guess. Surprisingly, he's 4-1 in 11 appearances. Kinda hard to believe, eh? Jungmann went 6 innings and gave up 2 runs (1 unearned). By my count, he faced 27 batters. He gave up 8 hits (1 triple), walked 3, and struck out 2. I don't have a reliable pitch count since I was listening on the radio. Andrew McKirahan threw the 7th. He hit the first batter he faced and gave up an intentional walk later in the inning...otherwise no damage. Chance Ruffin threw the final 3 innings to get the win and improve his record to 5-1. He walked the first batter he faced and hit the second. Yikes. But, got out of trouble. He gave up a 1-out single in the 9th but got out of the inning again without giving up any runs. In the 10th, he gave up another 1-out single followed by a walk before striking out the last two batters of the game. Whew.

And, here's how it all played out...

• Texas, 1st inning
• Logan Verrett (rhp) on the mound for Baylor.
• Cohl Walla (lf) hit the first pitch to deep lf. Craig Way was convinced it was gonna be a homerun. Alas...not so. Fly out to the warning track instead.

• Tant Shepherd (1b) lined out to rf.
• Baylor, 1st inning

• Cal Towey (dh) singled up the middle, moving Muncy to 2b.
• Gregg Glime (c) advanced the batters to 2b and 3b on a 1-3 sac bunt. The amazing thing about the bunt? Full count.
• Skip Johnson made a visit to the mound.
• Slater grounded out to the pitcher...who looked the runner back to 3b before throwing to 1b.
• Landis Ware (ss) lined out to lf after fighting off several pitches.

• That's 7 stranded (5 in scoring position) for the Horns through 6.
• Texas up 1-0.
• Baylor, 6th inning
• Hainsfurther singled up the middle.
• Muncy struck out swinging. Yes!
• Towey singled through the right side, moving Hainsfurther to 2b.
• Glime singled through the right side, scoring Hainsfurther. Shepherd cut off the throw from rf and tried to throw Towey out at 3b but the throw was bad and went out of play. Towey scored on the error and Glime moved all the way up to 3b.
• Slater hit a ball to 3b (ruled a single). The throw from Lusson got away from Shepherd. Slater rounded the bag and then decided to go back to 1b but Shepherd got the ball and tagged Slater out before he could get back to 1b. Glime had to hold up at 3b. Lots of confusion on the play, eh? Not sure I really got a reliable description there.

• Texas down 1-2.
• Texas, 7th inning
• Rowe struck out looking (2-2 count).

• Baylor, 8th inning
• Texas sent Chance Ruffin (rhp) to the mound, replacing McKirahan.
• Towey drew a full-count walk.
• Glime was hit by a pitch. Keith argued that the batter might've bunted through the ball and it should've been called a strike instead of a hit batter.
• Slater bunted a third strike foul for a strikeout. Really.
• Ware hit a ground ball to 2b. Etier knocked it down, grabbed it, stepped on 2b for the first out, and threw to 1b for a double play!!! Whew.
• Game tied 2-2.
• Texas, 9th inning
• Lusson flew out to cf (in left center).

• Texas, 10th inning
• Don Lambert went into cf for Baylor, replacing Slater. This was not noted by the radio guys...I saw it on GameTracker. Which was kind of funny because GameTracker did not notice Stafford pinch-running for Moldenhauer earlier.
• Walla singled down the lf line.
• Loy tried to bunt Walla to 2b but drew a 4-pitch walk, moving Walla to 2b. I'll take it!
• Shepherd bunted for a single on the 3rd base side of the mound to load the bases!
• Rupp (after a brief chat with Coach Garrido...and with the infield pulled in) fouled off a couple of pitches, worked the count full, and then struck out looking. So sad.
• Paul Montalbano (pinch-hitting in the dh spot) drew a 5-pitch walk, scoring Walla! (And, keeping the bases loaded.)
• Baylor sent Brooks Pinckard (rhp) to the mound, replacing Browder.
• Keyes hit a sac fly to cf, scoring Loy.
• Lusson grounded out to 2b.
• Texas up 4-2!
• Baylor, 10th inning
• Muncy struck out looking.
• Towey singled into rf. Ugh.
• Glime drew a 4-pitch walk. What? Oh my. Baylor sent Steve DalPorto in to pinch-run for Glime. Again, the radio guys did not notice.
• Skip Johnson made a visit to the mound.
• Lambert (radio guys kept saying he was pinch-hitting) struck out swinging.
• Kenton Gedwed (pinch-hitting for Ware) struck out swinging to end the game!
• Texas wins 4-2 in 10 innings!!!!

Wow. The Horns did not manage to get the Bears out in order once today while they went down in order four times. Not pretty. But, a win's a win. And, starting this series out with a win on the road is great.

The teams now come to Austin for the final two games of the series. Tomorrow night's game starts at 8 pm and Sunday's game at 2:30. I was wondering about the unusual start times and then I noticed that they're both scheduled to be broadcast on cable TV...the Saturday game on ESPNU and the Sunday game on Fox College Sports.

And, they'll be retiring Keith Moreland's #3 before tomorrow night's game. I suspect Cameron Rupp will get to wear the number for the rest of the season but I dunno...

Hook 'em!
