Cantu gets robbed by a diving 3B to turn the DP.

Heading to T5, Texas leads 1-0. Interested to see what Pierce does at 1B

 

[Harrison Wier]

Ridiculous call and ejection. This umpire needs to get thicker skin. Pathetic.

All I can think is that he cursed at him. But I don't think he did

 

[Harrison Wier]

Jake McKenzie is now in at 1B for the Longhorns

 

[Harrison Wier]

Ware gets a 2 strike base hit on a hanging breaking ball. Runner on 1st, no outs

[Harrison Wier]

Martinez hits a first pitch single in the gap. We are now tied 1-1. Runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out

 

[Harrison Wier]

Ware is really fighting it out with Johnston. On the 8th pitch of the AB, Johnston gets a huge 4-6-3 DP to end the inning. We are now tied at 1-1 heading into B6. Johnston's day *should* be done. 

 

[Harrison Wier]

Zane Gurwitz is in to pinch hit for Tate Shaw. 

 

[joeywa]

Thanks for the updates Harrison.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Gurwitz draws a lead off walk. If he's near 100%, he is a threat to steal here. 

Mathis comes in to pinch run for Zane, so never mind. 

Jones hits a pop up to SS Zaragoza. 1 down, runner on 1st. This is a prime hit and run situation.

[Harrison Wier]

Zaragoza lays down the SAC bunt and advances Mendenhall to 2nd. 1 down
