Orosey was on it again, and props to Sharp and the rest of the UT Tyler staff for matching him (Orosey) inning for inning all the way until the tenth.

I guess I was wrong with my assessment of the UTD HSU matchup, atleast the Friday night matchup. We'll see if HSU comes out swinging tomorrow.

TLU pounds out 12 hits tonight to win 5-1. Looking at the game from a clinical eye, UTT got out of several jams and the game could have been a much easier win for TLU with the baseball Gods shining on them. Harvey lined out with the bases loaded, UTT turns a triple play. Orosey, as usual, was stellar.

Look for TLU to go with Steinert in game 2. BTW, tonight, newly found pitcher, Kyle Eaves closed the game. He throws pretty darn hard for a kid who just decided to pitch in thelast year.

I dont know if pounded out 12 hits would be an accurate depiction of the game, but I guess it is since they did have 12 hits. 1/3 of those came in the 10th inning against a very good pitcher in Chitwood.

TLU got out of some jams as well..Most notably the go ahead run on 3rd with one out in the 7th.

Pretty good game all around. Tyler is going to have to cut down the walks on the mound if they want to win today. 10 walks + 12 hits + 1 error = 23 base runners in 10 innings is not going to win you many games vs Brad Orosey.

No argument on the choice of words but 5 hits doesn't typically win a JV baseball game. 12 hits, on the other hand, no matter how you get them is a nice number. I hear the kid throwing at the end is the real deal and yes, 4 hits of that kind of pitcher is impressive.

That was me Ralph.

Any consolation, it was 1-1 when I left Orange.

TLU concludes the 2 game sweep @ Tyler.

Winning Pitcher: Live Stats has Steinart, but pretty sure Fewell was pitcher of record and got the win.

Save: Hembree

Tyler starter, Chase Willard scattered 10 hits, and gave up 3 runs, 2 earned. A solid start by all accounts.

TLU had a 5 run top of the 8th to put them atop for good. They were the first team to score a run off Schimpf this year, and they roughed up Chitwood again today. Maybe Tyler still hasn't shown us everything yet, but at this point Mississippi College has to be the favorite in the East.

Keenan Duke and Nathan Skeen both contributed a couple of hits, and Austin Newell was 1-3 with a 3B and 2 RBIs. Granted, the TLU staff has been pretty solid early, but I think the bottom half of this Tyler order is significantly weaker than it's been in the past.

TLU's first 3 hitters went 9-16 today and contributed a good portion of the offense. Green and Nokelby have both started strong, and Lucero (.478 coming into the game) had a clutch 2 out, 2 RBI single in the 8th to give TLU the lead.

They have to be pleased with their start to the season. If they have a concern right now it might be that 3rd starter and the fact that clean-up hitter Cody Miller is hitting .214 w/ what seems like a lot of swing and misses.

Get them across for us!
What is the score now?

Chapman put up 8 runs on the bottom of the 4th, all unearned, to go ahead 9-1.

Final Chapman 9-1.

Out standing job by TLU to come through in both games late. Kyle Eaves is a great all around player. He has a rocket of an arm. It has been a transition that has been in the works since this kids sophomore year. He was an excellent short stop and hitter, but Green proved to the staff that he was the right man for the job after a rough first year at TLU. Back to Eaves, the coaching staff could have found something in this kid as a pitcher. It should be interesting to see how he develops as a pitcher. The pitching coach Fla Strawn has done an excellent job with these pitchers these past two years. He really knows the game.

UTD takes 2 of 3 from Hardin Simmons.

Game 1 saw Jr. Transfer Marvin Prestridge toss 8 innings, giving up only 5 hits and 1 run in a 6-1 Dallas victory. Sr. Randy Lorber was 4-4.

In game 2, HSU's Sam Walker tossed a complete game, scattering 10 hits has HSU prevailed 6-1. Jr. SS Brian Weeks was 3-4 w/ 4 RBIs in the victory.

UTD took the rubber game 4-3. Mason Thompson threw 7 innings and left the game with a 3-3 tie. UTD tacked one on in the bottom of the 7th and Adam Spinn pitched two scoreless innings for the save. 3B Larry Bolding was 3-3 for UTD in the win.

TLU pounds out 14 hits today in the 8-5 win. This time the word "pound" is very appropriate. UTT has great velocity but they couldn't find the plate and TLU really took advantage. Steinert was a standard OK today. Fewell and Hembree kept them at bay for the 8th/9th. Big hits in the 8th by Green, Knokleby and Lucero. For those not there, there was a BIG Brew-Ha-Ha with respect to the coach for UTT being in the dugout. He was ejected from the previous night's game. Coach Burnett had no problem but the umps thought there was an issue. Basically, the umps thought he couldn't be in the digout. After 30 minutes or so, the game resumed. UTT played the game under protest...figure that...and TLU took the victory.

Coach Wallace is a good coach but it is hard to argue with the expertise and respect that Coach Strawn gets from the kids. I believe they have a great working relationship and it's a huge advantage for TLU that they have multiple guys working with the pitchers/catchers.
