BASEBALL WEEKEND SERIES THREAD: No. 19 Texas vs. BYU (Sat. 6:50 p.m. - Witt was awesome, but UT loses series-finale)

[DustinMcComas]

Stevens keeps pounding the zone with his fastball/slider and throwing the change enough to help. 1-0 Texas B4.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Cam Williams having an ugly day in the batter's box. Making up his mind he's going to swing and just chasing everything.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Oh no. really scary moment as Zubia is hit in the helmet with a fastball. Texas dugout understandably pissed even though it wasn't intentional. Zubia slowly walks down to first.

 

[King IDMAS]

Why did we get a warning for that?

 

[TexJoe22]

Wow, that is about as close as you can get without hitting Zubia in the face!

 

[DustinMcComas]

Zubia moves to second on a wild pitch with one out.

Melendez walks.

 

[marka1]

BYU manager got a warning too

 

[DustinMcComas]

Why did we get a warning for that?

because college umps often don't have a clue.

 

[Do_It_Texas]

BYU pitcher is so rattled. Don’t know if he gets another out

 

[longball64]

because college umps often don't have a clue.

Exactly right

 

[DustinMcComas]

BYU going to the bullpen.

 

[hornsup21]

Anybody old enough to remeber when Dickie Thon got hit in the face/eye. and ruined what would have probably been an All Star career?

As I watched that ball ride up on Zubia..I thought OH shit. Hitting him square in the T where there is padding was actually a blessing.

I got hit a TOn, but luckily never in the face/head.

Glad he is OK

Good call.

 

[oakhillfatss]

You called it

 

[DustinMcComas]

With two strikes, Ardoin's ready for the fastball and hits a hard grounder that barely beats the diving SS into LF. Zubia scores. Melendez into second. It's now 2-0 Texas B4.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Kennedy strikes out swinging. Rough day for him so far as well.

Stehly grounds out. Meanwhile, the ump near second runs right into the damn base path when Ardoin is and knocks Ardoin down. Get a freaking clue, blue, and get out of the damn way.

2-0 Texas T5.

 

[longball64]

WTF are these umps doing?

 

[Dal_Horn]

WTF is the ump doing backing into the base path

 

[shaun2k1]

Move it fat ass.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Quick 1-2-3 5th for Stevens, who has retired 11-straight.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Antico hits a leadoff single and then steals second after Hodo's bunt goes foul. Hodo is grazed by a breaking ball and jogs down to first.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Faltine jammed and hits into a 5-4-3 double play. Two outs, runner on second.

 

[TexJoe22]

He needs to shorten up!

 

[DustinMcComas]

Maybe Cam Williams's best quality is his confidence never dips no matter what happens the previous AB. He just hit a two-out, two-run homer to CF just to the right of the batter's eye. 4-0 Texas B5.

 

[TexJoe22]

Good for Cam!!!

 

[DustinMcComas]

4-0 Texas T6.

 

[Armadillo Slim]

Dang, what a cluless at bat

sheesh

good job Cam. Love the way he swings

 

[TexasMcBizzle]

Nice blast by Cam. COVID games continue to be awesome. Nobody in our entire section, I just took my pants off and popped a bourbon, Hook’em!

 

[DustinMcComas]

After getting the first out, Stevens gives up three-straight singles. BYU is on the board and now trails 4-1 with runners on first and second. Action in the UT pen.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Another single loads the bases and Texas is out to make a pitching change.

 

[streettopeschel]

Go get him.

 

[benbrookhorn]

Man be time to go to the pen.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Caden Noah enters.

 

[Big Bertha]

Come on coach. That's enough.

 

[DustinMcComas]

And Noah hits the batter with a first-pitch curve to force in a run. Ouch.
