Ground out to the second baseman

 

[cardmark89]

Texas leaves another runner at first. No score going to the bottom of the second.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Kidston strands another Texas runner in the 2nd. Louisville at bat now in the bottom of the 2nd.

 

[cardmark89]

3 up 3 down for the Cards in the bottom of the second

Thanks for the reports. Keep them coming. Traveling and these updates are my only access to game information.

 

[cardmark89]

Leadoff double to start a third for Texas.

 

[cardmark89]

Surprisingly Texas did not but the runner over the third. But they did get a chopper to the pitcher that did the same thing. One out man on third.

 

[cardmark89]

Runner tags on a fly ball to left 1 to nothing Texas.

 

[cardmark89]

2 out hit to right. for Texas

 

[cardmark89]

Strike out to end the top of the third. One to nothing Texas.

I see no reason to bunt this early in the game. Let the players hit! You bunt him over late in the game. Sturgeon wasted his a bat in the first acting like he was going to bunt.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Cards down 1-0 in the bottom of the third.

 

[cardmark89]

Lucas with two out hit for the Cards.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Two hard hits in the third, but both snagged by Texas infielders. Cards get their second hit with Zach Lucas to left field.

 

[cardmark89]

Gibson draws a walk. First and second with 2 outs.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Lucas sprints to steal second, but it was ball four for Gibson. Runners on first and second with two outs for Sturgeon.

Thank you, CardMark for the updates. Helps me out.

 

[cardmark89]

First pitch to Sturgeon was a ball and now the coach is visiting the mound.

 

[cardmark89]

Ground out to third to end the third inning.

 

[uncle_D]

Think Cole swung at ball three....

 

[Bardman]

Not a great start. Too many fly balls already, men left on base and Kidston has been hit hard. I hope he settles in.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Sac-bunt moves the runners to second and third with 1 out. This is Texas baseball right now. They lead the nation in sacs.

 

[cardmark89]

2nd & 3rd with 1 out for TX.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Hard-hit ball in the infield. E6 on Sutton Whiting. Texas up 2-0 now with runners on the corners and 1 out in the 4th.

 

[cardmark89]

Error on Whiting as run scores & runner gets 1st. :-(

 

[Bardman]

Sad. Still hoping for the best but...just too many mistakes.

 

[cardmark89]

Strike out for out #2 on change up.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Texas adds a run in the 4th, but Louisville is able to get out of the inning with two runners still on base. Harrington and Sparger in pen.

 

[cardmark89]

Ground out to second baseman ends the top of the 4th. Come on CARDS let's get some runs.
