Starting lineup...

Quote:Rice lineup: Stainback SS, Stringer 2B, Cook LF, Ratterree RF, Hoelscher 3B, Aquino DH, Byrd CF, Perrott C, Ewing 1B, Kubitza P 4 pm Central

Only surprise is Ewing going against a right-hander. Appears The OG is finally giving in the defense, and wanting to hold Fox in reserve in the bullpen, just in case.

EPSN3 up and streaming with pregame show.

I got 9 seconds of JP audio, then it dropped.

Just as the pre-game interview with the OG was about to start with J.P., the feed went dead. GRRRR

ESPN gametracker not up yet, but CBS is. Kubitza gets 2 quick outs!

Make it a 1-2-3 inning! F7, K, 4-3.

Great sound on the commercials. Not so much on the game action. Thanks ESPN!

Kubitza works a nice first inning, even without the sound.

just 24 outs to go. It'll be over before you know it.

Can I just say that it sucks that you can't access the ESPN3 feed outside of the US. Especially when the Rice audio feed is also not working.

I have JP!

Me too!

Stainback F9 on a 3-1 pitch
Stringer F9 on a 3-1 pitch
Cook 2-out base hit to right! (Zimmer is getting a workout in the 1st..)
Ratterree F4.

0-0 going to T2

ESPN3 a bit flaky for me so far, but mostly working. Just popped open a St Arnolds in a show of support for the team.

Just doing my part.

Strong 1-2-3 inning for AK (fly out, strikeoutK, ground out).

Stainback flies out to RF on 3-1 pitch.
Stringer flied to RF on 3-1 pitch.
Hinkle throwing only off-speed pitches so far.
Cook single.
Ratterree flied out to 2B in short CF.
Hinkle is throwing off-speed after off-speed stuff. Our right-hand hitters need to hold up on their swings.

Scoreless heading to the top of the second inning.

There's a vaccine for that.

Leadoff single to left for USF
L4 for 1 out
F4 for 2 out
Ugh. RBI double makes it 1-0. (Rowan advances to 3rd on the throw home)
3u to end the inning.

Let's get it back, Owls!

Austin's leaving pitches up.

That was a nicely placed triple by USF for a RBI. I guess that's how run-scoring is done in this park. The ball seems to "stick" on the hop and run slower on the outfield turf.

Hoelscher with a comebacker right to the pitcher, L1
Aquino retired 6-3
Byrd first pitch, F8.



1-0 USF going to 3.

Very quick B2 for Owls.
