Game 49: Texas at Kansas State

I listened to the game on the radio (Craig Way and Keith Moreland with the call) and this game report is based on the broadcast. I found a stats page for KSU so will fill in some holes from it (they often miss substitutions).

Here's the line...

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Texas	3	0	0	0	0	1	2	0	0	6	6	0
Kansas State	1	0	0	4	0	0	0	0	0	5	9	2

Wow. That was a tense game. Milner gets the win, moving his record to 3-0. Ruffin earns his 11th save of the year. Very nicely done by the Horns. Texas had 6 hits today...4 of 'em were homeruns. Wow. Keyes had 3 hits...2 homers and the game-winning single. Very good day for him.

The Horns are now off for a week. They host Louisiana Tech in a double-header one week from today.

And, one more note: the Tower will be lit orange tonight in honor of the team's Big 12 regular season championship.

Hook 'em!
