Pierce is going to give McCann a shot to continue producing today. 

 

[Johnstark23]

I'm glad that McCann is playing today. I've seen the other movie and it's a shit show even defensively

Agreed.  Actually thought he'd see more action this weekend, but I think Pierce is giving Cantu a chance to work through his challenges.

UCLA pitcher not fooling anybody.

The good guys are swinging confidently.

 

[Will Baizer]

Alright I'm here. Forgot my credentials at home and had to run back and forth. Now that I'm here though there have been two runs scored for Texas!

A RBI single up the middle by Austin Todd and a RBI double by Bret Boswell.

Texas is up 2-0. 1 out, men on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Will Baizer]

Reynolds swinging at air there. 2 outs.

Runners on 2&3

Reynolds KS; 2 outs

Jones 6-3

2 LOB

Horns up 2-0 thru 1

 

[Will Baizer]

And Travis hits right into the shift for out 3 of the 1st inning.

Not before the Horns get on the board with an RBI single up the middle by Austin Todd and a RBI double by Bret Boswell.

ULCA's Olsen threw 31 pitches that inning (19 strikes).

Horns have been good at making opposing pitchers pay early so far this year.

 

[joeywa]

Thanks Will.  Glad you got it handled!

 

[joeywa]

Henley could stand to avoid leadoff walks.  That's playing with fire.

 

[Will Baizer]

UCLA's 4th batter gets an RBI double off another full count.

1 run crosses and men on 2nd and 3rd. 1 out still

Lead off walks will kill ya

Saw during a game earlier this season that our pitching coach is a volunteer coach. Is that accurate, and what is his background? How is he paying for his food and rent?😎

Volunteer is a bad way to describe it. They still get paid. But yes. He's technically a volunteer coach. Most teams have one.
