Play ball!
Cook struck out on three pitches. Not the start we wanted.
Warren singles. Runner on 1B, one out.
Reeves grounded into easy 6-4-3 double play.
We have now hit into 46 double plays on the season (11 more than we've turned).
Scoreless heading to the bottom of the first inning.

Kevin gets himself into and out of trouble, stranding a leadoff runner at 2B (aingle, wild pitch, stirkeoutK, two fly outs).
Ewing ground out.
McDowell struck out looking.
Hoelscher first pitch single. Runner on 1B, two outs.
Teykl flied out to LF.
Teykl apparently took an exam this morning at 9:00am, and took a plane to Jackson, leaving Houston at 12:30pm.
Scoreless heading to the bottom of the second inning.

1-2-3 inning for Kevin (strikeoutKK, two fly outs).
Aquino ground out to C.
Stainback standup, first pitch double (actually a bit misplayed by OFer). Looks like they changed the scoring to an E-7.
Cook grounded out to SS on 3-1 pitch. Runner on 2B, two outs. And by not hitting to right side (situational hitting) we once again fail to move the runner to 3B.
Warren ground out to 1B.
Very sluggish start once again for the Owls offense.
Scoreless heading to the bottom of the third inning.

Ruled on error.

Double plays happen. Rice has at best average team speed. Rice tends to go up the middle, which is where the infielders are with a runner on first. Also, Rice has seemingly ran into a lot of line drive double plays due to base running errors. No mystery. Also, we don't turn as many double plays because our pitchers strike so many more batters out, leaving fewer opportunities for the ground ball double play. Of course this is just my opinion.
We also get on base more, which gives us more opportunities to hit into double plays than our opponents, and that's not opinion.
