****Texas vs BYU Series Official Game Thread****

This BYU pitcher has the pace of a snail

I’m watching the game tonight. I would recommend not making your hotel reservations for Omaha.

no errors; 9 walks to none is how you get more runs than hits

10-0 on seven hits after 6 innings

Nothing wrong with a good slumpbuster every once in a while

BYU seems to be just what the doctor ordered for the Horns.

Horns up 11-0 in T8; Madden is done after 7 complete.  0 runs, 1 IF single, 11 Ks, 1 BB, 1 HBP.  Helluva night for Ty

not exactly burning up the bases but made it all the way around

Anything interesting with the lineup today?  I noticed...

Williams still #4 (series 3 for 4 w/ 3 BB)

Zubia moved up a spot to 5th coming off a 3 for 4 game

Melendez back in starting lineup at 6 spot after being 4th in Wednesday's game (1-3) & not starting yeserday. 

Ardoin drops a couple of spots to 7th coming off a 1 for 7 in series

Kennedy drops from 2 all the way down to the 8 spot (2 for 9 in series)

Stehly is starting at 2B instead of campbell in 9th spot (batting 1 for 1 yesterday & BB Wednesday). Is Campbell out due to error (1 on Wednesday) or batting (1-5) or both?

I don’t know that I would put a lot of stock into who is batting in what spot 6 games into the season. Pierce, as most coaches, is trying different things to see how guys perform in various situations and in conjunction with one another. 
With fewer non-Conf matchups early on, I don’t anticipate a somewhat predictable lineup, more especially batting order, before the 3rd or possibly 4th week of conference play.

Bummer. One bad inning was all it took. All 5 runs.

Yep. And that is baseball in a nutshell.
