Top 6: Dylan Campbell works a walk. Great weekend of ball from him. Lots of hard hit balls that led to outs, a couple of bombs. He's erased on a tailor made double play ball smashed to 3rd by Melendez. Stehyl flys out for the 3rd out. 

[BWilk55]

Bot 6th: Southard gets his 5th K for out 1. 6th K for out 2. Hits a batter in a 0-2 count and then walks the next. Sean Allen out for a mound visit and some bullpen action gets going. 

[BWilk55]

End 6th: Southard gets a grounder to Melendez.

He may be done after 3 scoreless innings. He looked really good. 6 scoreless from bullpen arms is more than we could have asked for.

[BWilk55]

Top 7: Todd ground out. Messinger walks. Ardoin walks. Daly hits into inning ending double play.

[BWilk55]

Bot 7: Duplantier on the mound. Gets 2 quick grounders to SS for first 2 outs. Infield single hit to deep SS. Gets a strike out to end the inning.

[BWilk55]

Top 8: Faltine is walked but a third straight double play erases him. 

Dylan Campbell blasts a solo HR for his 9th HR on the year. Gotta imagine he's earned a starting role going forward.

Melendez works a full count and takes a walk.

Pitching change. Stehly ground out ends the inning. Texas 9-0

[BWilk55]

Bottom 8. Duplantier on the mound. Faltine nearly makes a great throw deep in the hole at SS on the leadoff single. 

5-4-3 double play and a strike out ends the inning. Texas 3 outs away from Supers. Texas 9-0

[BWilk55]

Top 9 : Todd ground out. Messi HBP. Ardoin strikes out. 

Pitching change. Classy coaching move to give the senior pitcher a proper send off. New pitcher also a senior Lieutenant. 

Daly welcome the new pitcher with a single. With runners on 1st and second Faltine flares a blooper into shallow right field. Messi scores and Daly runs through the stop sign and gets thrown out at the plate. Texas up 10-0.

[BWilk55]

Bottom 9: Lebarron Johnson on the mound. 1st batter hits a HR to left field. 2Ks and a ground out end the inning, game and regional. Texas 10-1

On to the Super Regionals!

Thank you, BWilk, and Hook ‘em!

Classy moment to end the regional. The slowest and most sincere handshake line between the two teams with a USA-USA chant from the crowd, followed by both teams joining in for the others fight song. Lots of respect shown by these two clubs. 

Congrats to the new minted Air Force Lieutenants, 8 going on to fly jets and 1 headed to medical school.

Really couldn't have drawn up a better regional for Texas:

Pitching was very good. You could say that Pete Hansen's 6.2 inning 3 ER outing was the worst of all the pitchers this weekend. Gordon gave up 1 ER in 5.1 innings. The relief pitching went 12 innings and gave up 2 runs (15 innings if you count Stehle as a reliever). 

Offense was slow to get started on Saturday but otherwise had a good approach all weekend, put up plenty of runs in each game and wore down opponents pitchers.

Defense was perfect with 0 errors. David Pierce mentioned working on base running and that seems to be the only spot where Texas made errors this weekend.

Chance to host the Super Regional next weekend. Let's go Chanticleers!

The Bullpen and Sean Allen deserve some credit for this weekend. 

[david ficken]

10 games on deck for Monday. The Auburn v. UCLA game was suspended to Monday as well.

East Carolina and Costal Carolina on at noon.

Interesting match-up in the supers in Fake UT v. ND.

Both the blow u v. Florida and Okie Lite v. Arkie could be high scoring games.

Also, the Texas State v. Stanford match-up should be interesting as Stanford will have to piece the pitching as their closer was used in the 1st game on Sunday for 6 innings.

Could have several interesting super regionals after Monday.

aggy won their regional.  Hope they don’t fair quite as well in their Super Regional. 

[UT1983]

Lady Horns play okie-lite today at 6pm.  Go Horns!

Was nice to see the crowd react like they did. I also enjoyed listening to the AF coach interviews during the games. I've always had much respect for the academies.

aggy is playing some good ball, especially for a team that was picked 6th in their division. It wouldn't surprise me if they beat V Tech. They made a great coaching hire.

Proud to be a Longhorn after the response to Air Force by the fans! Proud to be an American protected by young men like the ones at The Air Force Academy!

Great end to a great weekend.

Winner of Stanford/Texas State (winner is the home team in the supers) v. UConn

North Carolina v. Arkie

Southern Miss v. Ole Miss

Oregon State v. Auburn 

[david ficken]

Well hell. I was hoping that Texas State would've won the game. To get 2 in the top of the 9th only to give up 3 in the bottom of the 9th.

It would've been the 1st time in school history to get to the super regionals, but Stanford lucked out the win as Texas State could have scored more runs, but didn't get it done.
