***Texas vs Texas State-Tuesday/Wednsday Game Thread***

[joeywa]

The Horns head to San Marcos tonight to take on Texas State, and return to the Disch tomorrow to play them again. 

All links to follow are in the tweet below. 


I'm not 100% sure at this point what my status for game updates/tweets will be for tonight's match-up.  I will be on here at some point, but after being out of town for a few days, I have a few things on the docket around here that need to be done before I get to baseball.  We'll see how it pans out.

I should be all-in for tomorrow's game.

Faltine gets a 2-out 2-run HR in T2 to give the Horns a 2-0 lead.  That's where we sit thru 2 complete.

Dre has stays in the game for B5 and retires 1, gives up a single and that's all for him.

TxSt adds one in B7

Texas goes with Harrison on the hill, then brings in Nixon with 2 outs, runner on 1B in B8

Horns up 9-8 in B8

 

[joeywa]

Horns hang on for 9-8 win.  Nixon looked awful in B9, but somehow came out of it unscathed.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Nixon’s command has looked very shaky at times this year. Definitely something they need to get ironed out before conference play.

You don’t apologize for road wins against a team who should make a regional. Should be another interesting battle tomorrow.

Well, it is San Marcos. lol

Well, it is San Marcos. lol

True, but they're currently #17 in the country, and just came off an impressive series in Arizona.  This ain't your father's SW Texas St club.
