Texas Tech Series

[aUTfan]

2 quick outs, ground ball to 2nd 4-3 for the putout for Galvan.

 

[aUTfan]

Belyeu hits an oppo liner to left field. Schuessler up.

 

[Phil Elliott]

I wud say this plate ump has a small but inconsistent strike zone.

 

[aUTfan]

Schuessler hits a seeing eye single between the 1st and 2nd basemen but Belyeu with his speed makes it over to 3rd. Runners on the corners, 2 outs. O'Dowd at the plate. Mound visit.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Schuessler singles. Belyeu to 3rd. Pitching change.

 

[aUTfan]

I wud say this plate ump has a small but inconsistent strike zone.

Every pitch to the outside of a right handed batter is inconsistent, I've said it before but it's common, for whatever reason, Umps that set up on the inside guess on that outside location and why they are so inconsistent.

 

[aUTfan]

Catchers head is in the way, no possible way they can ACTUALLY see the pitch location in relation to the strike zone.

 

[aUTfan]

geez, it would have been fun to do it back to Tech but it didn't work. Belyeu gets caught trying to steal home. To the bottom of the 8th.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Tried to pull a tech move and steal home but it didnt work.

 

[Phil Elliott]

6 more outs to get boys!

 

[aUTfan]

Wish I could have seen the wide view angle on that steal attempt to see what Belyeu saw.

 

[aUTfan]

Gage back on for his 3rd inning of work, a fly ball to just past 1st base and for whatever reason Thomas makes a swipe at the ball with Belyeu and O'Dowd standing right next to him but can't make the catch.

The runner keeps going, trying to make it to 2nd, Thomas sees it and throws a laser to get him at 2nd on the tag. Being reviewed, call was out.

 

[aUTfan]

Call stands. 1 out, no one on.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Flores cant play the Texas Leaguer but throws out the runner trying for 2nd.

 

[aUTfan]

Flores makes the play for out #2.

 

[aUTfan]

routine ground ball for O'Dowd, 3 outs and only 3 outs to go for the win.

 

[Phil Elliott]

A little unothodoxed but 3 up 3 down. Flo? Can I get a policy quickly?

 

[Phil Elliott]

What happened to Chop?

 

[aUTfan]

He may have got frustrated with the way this game started and took a walk.

 

[aUTfan]

Hmmmm.....ph for O'Dowd, ground ball back to the pitcher for out 1.

Gasparino bunts to the left side for out 2.

 

[aUTfan]

Thomas with a Texas leaguer to left field, single. 2 outs.

 

[Phil Elliott]

JT back on his horse with his 3rd hit today.

 

[aUTfan]

Powell grounds out to end the top of the 9th.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Ok Flo did not take my call. 3 more outs to get boys!

 

[aUTfan]

Kennedy at 2nd.

 

[aUTfan]

1st pitch line drive out to Powell.

 

[aUTfan]

[Phil Elliott]

K looking. 1 more out to get!

 

[aUTfan]

Ball game!! ground ball to Kennedy.

 

[Phil Elliott]

4-3 for the win!
