Game 10: Stanford at Texas

The Horns did not play well today and lost 2-9 to Stanford. The line:

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Stanford	2	1	0	0	3	0	1	2	0	9	11	0
Texas	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	1	2	9	5

Yep...5 errors. And, really, that number could've been upped by one. It was a very, very, very windy day at Disch-Falk. The wind was mostly blowing in from lf but also came in from cf from time to time. All balls hit high in the air caused problems for fielders. I don't think the wind was a contributing factor in any of the Texas errors, though. At least, not that I can remember. I kept score but don't really have time for a full game report today. Lucky you...not having to read through the misery of the loss, eh?

Cole Green started for the Horns and gave up 3 runs (2 unearned), threw only 2 innings, and took the loss. Hoby Milner threw the next 2.1 innings and also gave up 3 runs (again, 2 unearned). Keifer Nuncio, Kendal Carrillo, Kirby Bellow, and Nathan Thornhill also pitched.

Despite the 9 hits, the Horns did not have many scoring opportunity. And when they did get someone into scoring position, they just didn't seem able to get that much-needed hit to push the runner across. They scored their first run in the 8th when Cohl Walla reached on a 2-out double. He scored when Jonathan Walsh (who started in lf today) hit a ground-rule double that bounced out-of-bounds over the retaining fence down the rf line. Jacob Felts and Christian Summers reached on back-to-back singles to start off the 9th (I think that was Summers first hit as a Longhorn). Felts did score but a pop-out, and two ground outs by the 1-2-3 hitters ended the game.

Rubber match tomorrow at 1 o'clock. I hope the weather and, more importantly, the outcome are better.
