T8

Olivarez issues a leadoff walk, DP gets 2 down

Gives up a single, then a comebacker ends it

Horns up 8-1 headed B8

It surprises me that Olivarez doesn't get more usage. 0.46 ERA over 19 innings.

Not sure what the story there is.

Need a sweep on Saturday.  To go into the Big12 tournament with a 5 game win streak.

Glad to see that the kids are aware of Keith Moreland having a heart surgery on Monday or Tuesday.  Wishing him the best and to get better for next season.
