Horns are quickly back to work tonight with a 4-game series vs BYU at The Disch.

Feel free to chime in here over the course of the next four days as we see if the team can turn things back around.

Scoreless through 2 so far.

Bats, bats, we need bats!

[Eastexhorn 485]

Check under the bridge around sundown.

[joeywa 5,489]

Cam Williams leads off B3 and takes the first pitch over the CF wall for a HR.  Hit the green monster towards the top.

 

With 2 outs, Antico drills one over Comal St.  Umps review and uphold their initial call of a foul.  Pierce argues and is ejected. 

 

Horns up 1-0 Thru 3

[Aaron Carrara 3,064]

The Antico shot was a missile.  

[joeywa 5,489]

Yep.  And Pierce had every right to argue that.

If that helps send balls over the wall, go for it!  

Hook ‘em!

Bats still struggling but pitching has been there. Throwing a shut out at the stretch.

I jinxed it. Smh

I’m not for sure this team is any better than the last full season when they were 20-20 and Pierce said every position was open.

Two throwing errors from the starting P in the 2nd inning. The other was a muffed grounder deep in the hole at 2B that Campbell didn’t get a handle on. None cost Texas anything. 

[TB14 620]

Bigger concern is still only 4 hits. 

[MBHORNSFAN 3,032]

Nice to get the win but tis team has some serious work to do... 

[joeywa 5,489]

Game 2 is today at 1 PM

How bad are the Texas bats? The replay on the LHN didn't even show the Horns batting in the bottom of the 2nd. After the contested HR I went to sleep so not sure how many other at bats for Texas wasn't shown.

Texas showed improvement last night compared to the weekend in Arlington. 

Horns had  5 Ks on the night which was vastly different than prior outings.  They looked more patient at the plate, were not guessing as much and put some really good swings on some pitches.  Antico looked much more comfortable in the box last night.  As did Faltine, although he was not rewarded with much.  He crushed some balls that either went foul or were caught deep in the OF.  Steady improvements are what we should be looking for right now.

BYU jumps on Eckhardt early and takes a 4-2 lead after 1.

 

[TB14 620]

6 runs?! Who does this team think they are!

[tejasrulz 3,109]

Antico's bases clearing double was smashed!

 

[joeywa 5,489]

Middle 5, Horns up 8-5

 

11 hits, 1 K.  (For the sky-is-falling types )
