3-2 K-State, top of the 8th. Once again, in conference play our offense goes into the deep freeze--4 hits, 1 XBH--and our fielding gaffs (3 errors) will likely cost us the game.
 
We've actually swung the bats really well today. K-State has robbed us of about 4 extra base hits on great plays. Kudos to K-State. Just because hits aren't falling doesn't mean we aren't swinging the bats well. If we swing the bats like we have today we will eventually start scoring runs.

Told ya', we've swung the bat well all day today. Just a matter of time until these start falling.
 
I'm starting to think Clemens may be the best option at first with Cantu at DH.

Clemens is a stud defensively and is a much better hitter than the other guys we have at DH. Putting Cantu at DH gives us a lot more pop in the lineup.
 
Texas wins game 1, 5-3.

I'm gong to give CAHorn credit for jinxing this in our favor.

Double header should start at 8.
 
At this point in time I would rather see Clemens with a bat in his hands or on 1st than on the mound.

Agreed. If he swings the bat like he did today he needs to be in the lineup. It's tough not to have him at 1st to begin with because of his defense.

Wild pitch. Guy on 3rd with nobody out.

Time to get the pen going, Kansas State has a guy on 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Hollingworth is laboring a bit.
 
Hollingsworth gets out of the jam. Big play by Clemens to save a couple runs. 3-1 Texas headed to the bottom of the 6th.

You won't find a better fielding 1B than Clemens.

Hollingsworth back on the mound, Skip sticking with him. Hollingsworth gets the first out and now the pitching change is coming. Bellow on the mound with 1 out in the top of the 8th with nobody on.
 
Bellow gets out of the top of the 8th. 3-1 Texas headed to the bottom of the 8th.

I feel bad for lefties that have to face Bellow, almost impossible for lefties to hit off him.
 
Johnson hard liner to CF. 1 out.
Shaw grounds out to 1B. 2 outs.
Hinojosa deep fly to left, but caught. Nothing carrying today.

3-1 Texas headed to the 9th.
 
Bellow back on the mound for the 9th.

Texas wins game 2, 3-1. Texas now 4-1 in the Big 12 play with a chance to make it 5-1 tomorrow.
