Horns Lose, Get Closer To Conference Crown
[Update:] The bats weren't working again but solid enough pitching and a number of Texas A&M mistakes gave the Horns enough scoring to take a 5-4 victory. We think that should just about seal a top eight national seed, and one more OU loss -- losing 5-1 in the 7th -- (either today to OSU or next week to Texas A&M) would seal the conference title for Texas. Regardless, the Horns have come a long way from last season and are now 17-4-1 in the last 22 games.
Aggy starter Ross Hales was absolutely brilliant in a 3-0 victory in Austin. That pretty much sums up the game. Cole Green was alright and Brandon Workman was nearly perfect in long relief, but Texas' offense just couldn't get anything going. There are days like that in baseball, time to move on.
There is good news, though. Texas still holds a 1 game lead over Texas A&M and a victory today would eliminate them from the conference crown. In addition, KSU lost again at home to Tech, so a Texas victory today would nearly seal the deal, pending one Oklahoma loss (OSU today, Aggy next week). This time it's Texas' turn to have a freshman phenom on the mound in Taylor Jungmann. Austin Wood and Dicharry should be available to pitch in the later innings. It's a 2 o'clock start since there are no flights to catch this time and it'll be broadcast by a Fox College Sports, whatever that is.

Here's how Texas wins the conference:
Win today: 1 OU loss in the next 4
Lose today: KSU lose 1 of the next 4, A&M lose 2 of 3 to OU, OU loses to OSU then wins 2 of 3 against Aggy

Texaggy reality:
Red Fishin Ag93 says:
We cannot allow a bad call to take us out of the game mentally, and we did.
We have battled through two BS calls in this series. Let’s not downplay what has clearly ruined the mentality, here.
One can only take so much of a clear disadvantage before mailing it in. We’re not a good enough team to overcame game changing decisions.
Nobody is that good.

It's like a midget wrestling match:

And if I have to listen to Dave South doing PBP, I might as well go for total immersion. Now he says the aggy television crew is calling the play at first inconclusive.

Gametracker
shows he hasnt been missing many bats. Only 1 K so far today. But he’s been good all season at battling through innings where he gets himself in trouble and minimizing damage. 5 solid innngs should be sufficient today to get us to Dicharry/Wood to close it out.

but with a 5-0 lead already, Id be happy with 5 solid scoreless innings out of the freshman.
