Great win! Chance to get a share of the Championship tomorrow. 

Yep, OU took the game against OSU today and opens the door for a 3 way tie (or 2 way if OSU loses again tomorrow). If a 3 way tie I think we have the tie breaker as we would be 4-2 against OSU/WVU. 

Just win baby!

Just a simple question:  if a player can get a strikeout whenever he wants, I will take 3 up and 3 down every inning.

Your thoughts?

Where’s the fun in complete and utter domination?

This was posed by someone else earlier but I never saw anything on it. What’s up with Mitchell Daley? Injured, dog house, anybody know? He hasn’t been seen in a bit now.

That was posed by me. Never got a concrete answer but I'll assume it was his lack of hitting (his avg has been steadily declining) even though his replacement, Flores, was hitting less. I'm thinking that since Flores was a freshman, Pierce was wanting to see what he could do. Flores' hitting has improved here as late and his batting avg is on the rise. I'm guessing the ball that hit him was worse than it looked because he was out after that. Mitchell in his only at bat yesterday struck out.

Nobody is that good. As a pitcher, you have to trust the defense behind you.

Soon be time for the sweep game. Whitt goes 2-3 then who ever can throw strikes. Hurley and Shaw hopefly.

[david ficken]

Game 3. Reg. Season and series finale 

Witt has some really nice defense behind him in the top of the 1st.

Bottom of the 1st. Texas has scored 2 so far in the bottom of the 1st.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN  Dylan Cambell has a 33 game hit streak. He just keeps adding to his new Texas hit streak mark.

[david ficken]

Still in the 1st. We have already chased their starter. We have the bases loaded with only 1 out.

 

[david ficken]

Texas sends 9 to the plate in the 1st. Flores gets a 2 RBI single.

After 1 complete Texas leads 4-0

[david ficken]

Thru 3 complete

Texas leads 6-0. Flores has his 3rd RBI as he hits a solo homerun

BTW, Texas has hit 83 homeruns this season so far.

Start the 4th with Shaw now on to pitch.

[david ficken]

Thru 5 complete Texas leads 6-1.

Shaw gives up a homerun in the 4th. We West Virginia has been really shut down offensively this series.

[david ficken]

Top of the 6th, Sthele is now on to pitch for Texas.

[david ficken]

Thru 7 complete Texas leads 6-3. Believe brings someone new to start the 7th only to give up a 2 run homerun.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 8 complete Texas leads 7-3. Texas does add 1 run in the bottom of the 8th, but had bases loaded with 1 out gets 1 runner thrown out at home. Still bases loaded with 2 outs only to hit a groundout.

 

[david ficken]

Top of the 9th, Kobe M. comes in to pitch the 9th. Daly is now at shortstop.

[david ficken]

Well, Kobe throws all of 4 ugly pitches and is pulled for Hurley.

Hurley ends up hitting the next guy.  Should've been a double play ball, but only got 1.

Double gets a double play ball. Will be reviewed,  but for now its a win for Texas.

[david ficken]

After the review,  Texas wins 7-3. Tied with West Virginia for the conference title. Will need to know if it's a 3 way tied for not.

[tejasrulz]

Looks like Texas will be the #1 seed in the Big XII tourney whether it's a 2 way or 3 way tie. 

[tejasrulz]

This sweep now begs the question, will Texas host a regional now?

[Austin Horn]

Fans want David Pierce fired 

[Austin Horn]

Three conference titles. He’s doing good 

[RunRickyRun]

Big 12 champs!

No! But still would like better management of relif pitchers.

[82Horn]

Hard to please some, Texas baseball continues to stack up well in its conference and nationally. Texas is playing its best baseball of the year right now. 3 starters maybe emerging to lead us into the Postseason. Lucas Gordon, LBJ, and Tanner Witt with 3 good innings today. Let’s get behind this team. 

[Eastexhorn]

Hard to please some. Some are happy with a third of conference ship.A sweep by ou , couple games blown to Okie Lite and others.
