Jeff Howe

End of 8: Texas 15, K-State 7

Howard gets the last two outs of the inning on 10 pitches.

Cody Howard is out of the bullpen.

Evasco with a two-run home run to left. It's a 15-7 lead for the Longhorns and that's it for Ruger.

Riojas has hit his career in pitches (117), innings pitched (7.0) and he just hit a batter with one out.

My bad for crossing streams with the threads. I'll post the score to the K-State game when it goes final.

Riojas is back out for the eighth.

M8: Texas 15, K-State 5

Belyeu grounded out to second with the bases loaded to end the top of the eighth.

I guess you could move Chamberlain to first, put Oliver Service behind the plate and then you'd have two outfielders available.

Since Schloss has Stewart and Winfield on the bench, I'd get Schuessler and Belyeu out to get them off their feet.

Chamberlain works a walk. Duplantier scores to make it a 15-5 game in favor of the Longhorns.

Chamberlain is doing a good job of staying alive with two strikes.

K-State intentionally walked Mendoza to get to Chamberlain. The bases are loaded with two outs.

Mendoza is up with RISP and two outs.

Vanderbilt loses to Wright State, 5-4. For the fourth time since the Super Regional format started in 1999, the No. 1 overall seed has been eliminated in a regional. The other times it happened were in 2007 (Vanderbilt), 2014 (Oregon State) and 2015 (UCLA)

End of 7: Texas 14, K-State 5

I'm assuming that's what caused the hesitation.

The call on the field stands. The inning is over.

I'm told in the press box by tournament officials that ESPN hasn't made the call yet.

Flores waited a LONG time before going to first. K-State is appealing the inning-ending groundout.

Riojas got squeezed on a payoff pitch to Kennedy. The bases are loaded with two outs and Keegan O'Connor is up for K-State.

TBD

They need to save arms for tonight. Riojas is already burned for tonight and tomorrow.
