King has retired 10 Longhorns in a row since Gasparino's infield single in the fourth.

End of 7: Florida 4, Texas 0

What is this problem with Texas batters looking at pitches? 

Edited May 11, 20251 yr by Dustin D

Dre Duplantier is on the mound for the eighth. This is Dre's 89th all-time appearance.

Duplantier hits Wilson, putting a runner on base with one out.

Winfield misplays a ball hit to left field by Nadeau, but the relay home nails Wilson at the plate. If the call stands, the inning will be over.

It’s honestly the worst gameplan I’ve seen in a while.  0-1, 0-2 almost every at bat without a swing.

The call stands. Wilson is out and the inning is over.

Schloss coached teams have led the country in pitches seen per AB in each of the last four seasons fwiw.

King's day is done. Jake Clemente is out of the bullpen and got Farmer to pop out to second base to open the eighth.

Aggie getting crushed , there’s that. 

Mendoza reaches with a one-out single. That's the first baserunner Texas has had since the fourth inning.

That ball was roped by Mendoza;. 

1B 

Galvan was rung up on a called third strike. Two down.

Phew. That 2-2 pitch to Galvan looked prettyyyyy good.

He ends up striking out looking anyways, however.

On a side note, we've only had 2 sac bunts all season?!

Looked like a makeup call after replay, but no reason not to swing the bat

Flores works a walk. Two on with two outs for Schuessler.

Make it back-to-back walks. Rodriguez comes up with the bases loaded. As rough as things have been today, Texas has the tying run at the plate with two outs in the bottom of the eighth.

Rodriguez walks. Mendoza comes home and the Longhorns are on the board.

It's a 4-1 game. Bases loaded, two outs for Borba.

Jaquae Stewart is in the on-deck circle. He'll hit for Winfield if Borba reaches.

Borba is hitting .375 this season with RISP.

The average will drop after that strikeout. The Longhorns score a run, but they leave the bases loaded in the eighth.
