GAME ONE RECAP
Texas picked up a bad, bad loss as it dropped game one against San Jose State 6-4. This was the third loss by Texas in the last four games that were started by LHP Lucas Gordon. This loss also made Texas 0-3 in home games that were part of doubleheaders. The Horns held a 4-2 lead entering the 8th but were not able to close the door, allowing the Spartans to score three runs on just one hit in the 8th. Zane Morehouse started the 8th on the mound, but a two-out double by Jack Colette brought the Spartans within one. David Pierce then went to Andre Duplantier in a high-leverage spot -- a trend that we have seen often lately -- and Duplantier couldn’t come through this time. With runners on second and third, Duplantier yanked a 3-2 fastball to the backstop for a wild pitch that scored not one, but TWO Spartans as Guillemette’s throw back to the plate was off-target. The Spartans took a 5-4 lead on that play and didn’t look back.
San Jose State then tagged David Shaw with an insurance run in the 9th before ultimately closing out Texas in game one of the Friday doubleheader.
Texas was 1-7 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.
GAME ONE THOUGHTS
That 8th inning was not a fun one. Zane Morehouse looked great in the 6th and 7th before things got away from him there in the 8th. Running Morehouse back out to the mound for a third inning in a close game is one thing, but doing so on a long leash is another. I was unsettled before the inning started. Allowing Morehouse to stay in the game after a walk and HBP to two of the first three hitters was a puzzling decision and it didn’t work out this time for David Pierce and the Horns. Pierce loves to ride with a hot pitcher until the wheels fall off and that mentality can backfire at times, like it did in game one.
There are no obvious answers with this bullpen, but with that being said, I am confused as to why Duplantier passed Heston Tole on the “high-leverage spot Depth Chart”.
Only one crooked number for the Texas offense in game one. Guillemette launched a 410-foot nuke to left in the first inning, but from that point on it was a bunch of zeros and a few ones on the scoreboard for the Horns. Powell, Brown, and Kennedy were a combined 0-13 with no walks.
Lucas Gordon, for the second start in a row, was not sharp. The lefty only allowed 2 ER in 5 innings so this wasn’t a disaster by any means. But the command was just not sharp. Gordon wasn’t jumping ahead in counts and he had trouble putting hitters away. Just two strikeouts for Gordon against San Jose State is a bit of a red flag in what has been a red-flagless season for the lefty. Texas has lost 3 of Gordon’s last 4 starts and that will need to change going forward. Every start for Gordon from this point on will be in a critical game and the team needs its ace in mid-season form.
GAME TWO RECAP
Safe to say the bats came alive in game two of the Friday doubleheader against unranked San Jose State. Texas won game two 24-3, scoring its most runs since 1995. The game was really broken open in the bottom of the 6th when Texas scored 10 runs after having two outs and nobody on to begin the inning.
Eric Kennedy had two bombs and a career-high 8 RBI, Dylan Campbell had three doubles while extending his hitting streak to 29 games, and almost everyone that came to the plate for Texas had a big moment. This was an absolute thrashing by the offense.
Highlights galore.
GAME TWO THOUGHTS
I’m not sure if the second game made Texas fans feel better or worse about the loss in game one. West Virginia lost, Oklahoma State lost, Friday could have been a HUGE day for Texas if it weren’t for the blown lead in game one.
The Spartans got to Lebarron Johnson Jr. a little bit the third time through the order when LBJ started to leave a few pitches up. But overall it was another good day for the man that might just be the best pitcher on this team all of a sudden. Only one walk on the day yet again for LBJ.
5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 5 K, 1 BB
In my two years covering the team I have never seen the dugout react like it did when Cam Constantine blasted his first home run as a Texas Longhorn. Every single guy on the roster went crazy. That should tell you something about the type of person and teammate that Constantine is. Really cool moment.
In game one Powell, Brown, and Kennedy were a combined 0-13 with no walks.
In game two Powell, Brown, and Kennedy were a combined 8-12 with 10 RBI.
Powell handles lefties so well and Kennedy is a threat to leave the yard on any given pitch these days (even if he refuses to hit the taco sign).
Safe to say San Jose State is running thin on pitching. The bats should be in store for another big game in the series finale with Tanner Witt on the mound.
UP NEXT
Well, this is awkward. Time and date are both TBD (weather). Tanner Witt will pitch if/when there is a game three.
