With Cantu charging, I'm very surprised Gurwitz didn't pocket that throw.

Single with E6; CJ fields the ball backhanded and sails the ball past Cantu and into the dugout and Munden goes to 2B on the error.

I keep thinking they're going to surprise us with a keg in the press box since it's SXSW weekend. I'm still waiting.

Blake Smith getting ready in a hurry down in the WVU pen.

I keep thinking they're going to surprise us with a keg in the press box since it's SXSW weekend. I'm still waiting.

Just thinking about this, I don't think you have coordinated this very well.  You should set up by the Shiner stand. 

 

[java]

Ok, fellows, focus.

Hook 'em!
