Game 16: Brown at Texas

Oh. Wow. It's nearly midnight on Monday night and I just realized I never posted a game report for the final game of the Brown series. Wow. I'm so sorry about that. And, now it's really too late to do much about it. Texas won 11-1 in 7 innings (10-run rule was in effect although it was not announced in the stadium until the game was over...surprising a couple of the Brown players and most of the crowd). Texas played much better on Sunday than they did on Saturday. The line:

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	R	H	E
Brown	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	1	7	1
Texas	0	2	3	2	4	0	-	11	10	1

Cole Green got the complete-game victory. He struck out 10 (tying his career high) and didn't walk any. Nor did he give up any extra-base hits. All-in-all, a nicely pitched game.

Offensively, Erich Weiss continues to shine. He went 2-for-3 with 2 walks, 3 runs scored, a triple, and 2 runs batted in. Tant Shepherd showed some power again as he hit another homerun into the Brown bullpen to lead off the 2nd inning for Texas. Shepherd ended up going 1-for-2 with the homerun, 2 walks, and 2 runs scored. And, Cohl Walla went 3-for-4 with a run scored, 3 batted in, and a double. Every batter for Texas scored at least one run or batted at least one run in. The team combined for 10 walks and only 2 strikeouts.

My personal highlight of the day was when I noticed Brooks Keischnick sitting above us after the game. He was with a cute little boy (I'm guessing it was his son). They were getting their photo taken next to his retired-number sign. Very cool. He's looking good for an old guy. Ha! I have mentioned once or twice that he's my favorite ex-player. Right? And, that I think it's really cool they put his number above the section I sit in? Seeing him after such a good game was icing on the cake!
