Bottom 5th, Henley still on the mound
Sorry, missed 2 batters. Here's where we are: Man on 1st with one out.
Barzili: Henley leaves a breaking ball over the plate and inside, Barzili pulls it to LF. Runner very smartly takes 3rd (exactly what Schlossnagle was talking about, they love to try to go from 1st to 3rd on outfield singles). 1 out, runners on 1st and 3rd.
Merrill: Hits a bouncer right back up the middle, Hamilton gloves it going to his left, flips it from his glove to Boswell who barehands it and fires to first for the 6-4-3 DP! 54th DP of the season for Texas defense.
1 LOB
TCU 8-0

Speaking to how they try to be aggressive with their offensive strategy, they try not to give out too many free outs (i.e. bunts) and will take any opportunity they can to get an extra 90 feet, such as going from 1st to 3rd on singles and how being aggressive with their base running fits into their overall offensive strategy. Playing offense offensively.

Brian Howard has now retired 8 straight batters and has only allowed 1 H through 6 innings.

Bot 6, Henley still on the mound
Watson: Henley gets up 0-2, eventually falls into a full count and walks him on a low breaking ball. (of note, Cantu has now replaced McCann behind the plate). Runner on 1st. (4th time TCU has lead batter on base.)
Wade: lines a single up the middle and into CF, surprise surprise runner hustles all the way to 3rd base. Runners on 1st and 3rd
Wanhanan: HBP, breaking ball inside hits him on the knee. Bases juiced with 0 outs.
Henley is done, overall, pitched a pretty good almost 3 innings I think. Settled down after coming in in the 3rd, but we're in some trouble here.

SO Parker Joe Robinson on the hill
Bases juiced, 0 outs

Skoug: grounds to SS for the easy 6-4-3 DP. 3rd of the day and 55th of the season.

they both got raked. I doubt which order they went mattered.

Top 7, Brian Howard back up to the mound
Kacy B) : Defense has the left handed shift on. 3rd baseman lines up essentially at SS. Kacy KS on a high fastball, 3 pitch strikeout. 1 out
Mathis: Draws the walk. Man on 1st
Howard currently at 89 pitches, but season high is 119 :blink: last two innings were less than 10 pitches each. Our hitters need to do better of getting deep into counts and piling up that pitch count.
Gurwitz: Check swing on a good breaking ball gets him KS on 3 pitches (I feel like I've typed KS on 3 pitches too much today.) Announcer jinx: "Last 7 games, Gurwitz is a .400 hitter and has not struck out since" immediately followed by the 3rd pitch strike.
Boswell: decent AB, works a 2-2 count, but flies out to straight CF. F8

Bottom 7, Parker Joe Robinson still on the mound
Batter: RIPS a ball down the 3rd base line, Ryan Reynolds (newly inserted into the game at 3rd) with a GREAT backhand stop and long throw, gets the out. 5-3, 1 out
Brown: Cantu loses it in the sun, can't make the catch on the foul ball. Rips a liner opposite field, just over Reynolds who makes a good effort and ball goes off of his glove. Runner tries to hustle out a double, but Todd (now in LF) guns him down at 2nd. 2 outs
Barzili: easy F8, 3up 3down for Parker Joe.

Top 8, Howard trots back out to the hill at 97 pitches
Cantu: Good AB, fends off a foul ball or two, works the full count, but eventually softly flies out to RF. F9 1 out
Reynolds: first pitch hotshot grounder on the right side, but right at Baker, who steps on the bag for 2 outs
Todd: Good AB, works a full count walk. Runner on 1st, Howard now up to 111 pitches.
Kody: passed ball moves Todd over to 2nd. Easy 4-3 groundout. 3 outs

Top 9, time for the rally caps!!
Howard is done at 114 pitches
New meat for TCU is SO Dalton Brown, looking to close out the game with a nervewracking tight 8 run lead.
Jones: first pitch smacks a SUD (stand-up double) to the RF wall, just missed getting on the board. Runner on 2nd
Kacy B) : Shift on again, and Kacy exploits it, gets a ground ball just to the left side of the 2nd base bag and into CF. RBI single, Jones comes around from 2nd to score.
TCU 8-1 and Horns avoid the first shutout of the season (silver linings y'all, I guess).
Boswell: Hard hit ball to first, GREAT diving stop by 1st baseman, gets the easy out at 1st. 1 out, Kacy advances to 2nd on the FC3
Gurwitz: bouncer to SS, 6-3, Kacy advances to 3rd. 2 outs
McKenzie: Reaches out and slaps a grounder to third, goes off of the fielder's glove and everybody is safe. E5 and Texas gets another run across.
TCU 8-2, 2 outs runner on 1st.
Cantu: gets ahead 3-0, draws a 5 pitch walk. Texas has runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.
Reynolds: Foul ball out in RF, Wade runs a LONG way to try to end the game, misses it but slides hard into the wall. Took a minute to catch his breath and shake it off, but glad to see he's ok. AB continues and Reynolds gets ahead 3-1, rips another foul ball to run the count full. Next pitch JUST misses up and away and Reynolds will take the free base.
Bases juiced, 2 outs, and Brown is done for the day.

New meat for TCU is FR Cal Coughlin (WP of record from last night's game), trying to get the final out.
Bases juiced, 2 outs
Todd: 0-2, passed ball, but bounces back off the wall and runners decide not to risk it. Everyone stays put. Eventually hits a soft bouncer to 2B, FC 4-6 ends the game.

2 errors for Texas, both in that awful 3rd inning.
Speaking of the third inning, 6 of TCU's 11 hits and 7 of their 8 runs came in that single inning. Bullpen did a good job of stopping the bleed, but by then, it was too late. Without that one inning, this is much closer of a game. However, 3 H for the Horns just ain't going to do it. Alas, it was not to be.
Game 3 is tomorrow on ESPNU, 2 ET, 1CT, and 11 am for those of us on the West Coast. See y'all tomorrow!

Craig mentioned in the radio call last night that with them both last Friday that Cooper actually bounced back a little better during the week.
