Should be an easy win tonight, but hopefully the guys don’t take them for granted. Texas State just beat UT for the 1st time ever last night () and we don’t want the same thing to happen tonight with TSU.
Same lineup:
Wong C
Padgett CF
Davis DH (Guess there was nothing serious with him last night)
Scheiner SS
Triolo 3B
Lockhart 1B
Julks RF
Hollis 2B
Etzel LF
TSU is 6-13 on the season, has a team ERA of 7.38 and has given up 15 HRs in 19 games. I’m setting the over/under on Scheiner HRs tonight at 1.5. What say you?
Top 1st
Not a good start as Etzel drops a fly ball hit by the first hitter. Runner ends up at 2nd.
Second batter gets a sac bunt down that it looks like he beat, but the ump calls him out.
Run scores on a sac fly. TSU leads 1-0
By the way, former Coog, Aaron Garza, is the first base coach for TSU.
