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

Fly out by Antico.

Kennedy beats the shift this time with his speed despite the SS making the snag. He then moves to third on an errant pickoff throw.

faltine with an rbi base hit
 
Williams walks.

Ardoin smashes one, but it's caught in deep center; Faltine tags and moves to third with two outs.

Inexplicably, BYU attempts to pick at first and fires another errant pickoff throw. Faltine scores, Williams moves to second to make it 4-2 BYU.

Faltine fields a slow roller and makes the first out. Eckhardt walks the next guy who looked like he had no chance catching up to fastballs. Runner on first with one out.

Cam Williams doing the thing again. Snags a liner and then fires a rocket across the diamond to double up the runner. 4-2 BYU B2.

Zubia opens the home half of the second by ripping a hard single through the left side of the infield.

Campbell shows bunt and takes a strike to make it 2-2, which results in perplexed response from Pierce in the third base coach's box. He then rips a hard liner into LF to put runners on first and second with no outs.
 
Hodo puts down a good bunt and the BYU pitcher has a mental error at a bad time and didn't even make a throw anywhere... bags juiced, no outs for Antico.

Antico down 1-2 after he couldn't hold a check-swing and then whiffs at a breaking ball. Fouls a pitch back to stay alive. Changeup misses away. Fastball up makes it full.

He gets a changeup hanging over the plate and lines it hard just inside the RF line. Everyone scores and Antico motors into second. 5-4 Texas no outs in the bottom of the second.
 
Atta boy Jersey.

Kennedy bunts Antico to third. Faltine hammers one into the RCF gap and my word... what a play by the BYU CF to go full extension near the warning track and rob him of a RBI double or triple. Antico tags and scores to make it 6-4 Texas B2.

Nice rally! Being down 4 in the first the in past didn’t feel necessarily tough to overcome. The start to this year is a different story, so good rally
