Looks like Kingham said something to Ham as he was running over to first base to toss the ball to McKenzie. 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Bottom 4

Hibbeler- Strikeout looking

Reynolds- 6-3 groundout

Petrinsky- Popout to SS

3-2 Texas after 4

Kingham needs to quit piping the 1-2/0-2 pitches

Texas looks like they will get some activity going in the bullpen.

Putzig- Flyout to RF

Garza- Opposite field double down the RF line.

5-3 Tennessee Tech. David Pierce is out to the mound and making a pitching change. Kamron Fields will take over.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

If there was any doubt about Tennessee Tech's ability to hit quality pitching, they answered them by pounding Kingham for 9 hits and 5 runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Top 6

Harris- 6-3 groundout

Ham- Walk

Junior- Single. Groundball to Hamilton goes under his glove. Looks like he was thinking about the double play.  Scorekeeper is calling it a single with an error but that looked like an E6 all the way

Strohschein- (Ham tries to score on a passed ball and is thrown out at the plate) 5-3 groundout

Sawyer escapes the jam. 3-4-5 due up for Texas in the bottom of the 6th

Who knew our best defensive play would be on a passed ball?

And yes, that was an E6 all the way.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Tennessee Tech closer Ethan Roberts jogs down to the bullpen as we begin the bottom of the 6th.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Two on with nobody out

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Here comes closer Ethan Roberts, who is the highest draft pick in Tennessee Tech history.

Terrible at bats by Texas.
