And he draws a pitch timer violation. 0-1 before the first pitch. Then Schuessler hits a grounder to SS but beats the throw. Bases loaded. 
 

This may be challenged. 

The play is overturned. End of inning.

Texas is the home team today for its final game in Las Vegas. It's a 1-1 game with Illinois in the top of the second.

 

Heck of a pick off by Bing to get the 2nd out. 

Here's a clip of Adrian Rodriguez coming through with a tying RBI base hit:

My apologies Borba started the game at 3rd. 

Texas D shifts, Illinois ground out directly into the shift.

It was. Schuessler plays first well for a righty.  

Kade Bing allowed a single but faced the minimum in the second after picking off the runner at first.

M2: Texas 1, Illinois 1

The Longhorns go down in order in the second.

End of 2: Texas 1, Illinois 1
