Lead off walk is not a good sign. Hope this does not turn into a walkathon.

B1:
Byrd F8
Cook F6
Hoelscher FO5

Long at-bats, Owls battled, but no damage done.

8-9-1 for UH in T2

5-3
L3
3u

Nice job getting a 1-2-3 inning.

B2:

Reeves L5 - hard shot but caught
Aquino K
Ewing base hit to left!
Teykl 3-1

Thunderstorms rolling in here in Austin.. I'm going to drop off and shut down the computers for a bit. Hopefully things will have improved when I come back online.

UH leads the bases loaded in the top of the 3rd. Still 2-0 Coogs.

McDowell with the home run! 2-1 Coogs, no outs.

I was wondering! At the end of the last half-inning, JP gave the score as 2-2. I'd been in and out and figured I'd missed something.

But then McDowell's blast makes it 2-1 ... so I didn't miss anything ... darn it.

Any chance of a play by play, audio is down.

My audio stream dropped out as well.

Rice tweeted that the internet is down at the Skeeters park so neither the Rice or UH audio streams are working. Gametracker is still updating somehow.

2 on, 2 out for Stainback in B4. Still 2-1 UH. And he strikes out (he's struggling at the plate since the break - I wonder if Byrd starts there a bit this weekend and they sit him down a game or two??).

In almost every one of our losses to Top 25 ranked RPI teams we have gifted the opposition early runs-- either by not finding the strikezone or by errors...or, as in the 2nd UH game and the first UT game, both.

Ford has been struggling at the plate for the last month. Making matters worse, he never walks.

Good grief--- another walkathon. Why not gift them another 2 - 3 runs.

As well in the losses to A&M and Lamar...

Mid-week games like this is where losing Stephens for the season and Lemond as his substitute starter have really hurt us. We just don't have that consistent 4th starter. Could be a bad omen for the C-USA Tournament or the Regionals.

You're intentionally walking the bases loaded with only one out, and McDowell struggling to find the strike zone? Sorry, don't get it. You basically forced McDowell to groove one right down broadway...which is exactly what he did, to expected result. Now down 4-1, and still in deep trouble.

Audio's back up!

Now stop the walks and get some runs.

This is going to get awfully ugly awfully fast.
