Hunter's hit B7 to short right field looked good enough to me.

The choices basically are Rice only events or if you choose the all-access version you get access to every school that uses the CBS College Sports. The CUSA-Network option basically bundles all of the coaches shows and conference shows and gives you nothing more from a game perspective. We have always opted for the all access option since there are some things (particularly hockey) that we like to see from other schools.

C-USA Network is required at conference tournament time. I know that for baseball and soccer you need the C-USA package to be able to see Rice games.

But you can pay for that when it is tourney time.

HR by JC Reeves with Byrd on base. That makes the 3 for 13 with RISP a bit more palatable.

Hunter K's single to left makes it 5-2. Some good two out hitting here in the 8th

Owls win 5-2. Dittman gets them 1-2-3 in the 9th.

And Matt gets the win since he entered in the T8 to get the last out in that inning.

I guess the season is still young, but the PALINDROME is the MAN.

Error-free ball. No midweek lapse between big series.

We did what we had to do.
Struggled a bit early on. Woke up and took care of business.

Small crowd. Cold park. But well worth the effort to see team win. Could have been a letdown game.

RE: Rice vs H B U - Tuesday Feb 17th
Just back from a near empty Reckling...so empty in fact that the guy throwing out t-shirts between innings was standing 10 feet from me and threw one to me! No joke!

1. The HBU starting pitcher was their Senior Friday ace and best hitter, as well. He platys 3B when not pitching and bats #3 in the lineup. He was 10-3 last year. Not great stuff, but kept the ball down in the strikezone and kept our hitters totally off-balance. We didn't square up on a single pitch until the last batter in the 4th inning...and that was a line out. Thank heavens he began to tire in the 7th, and was replaced to start the fateful 8th inning.

2. Amador looked great early, but even then was leaving everything up in the zone, which would eventually bite him. No surprising that he began to tire in the 3rd inning, as I don't believe he worked beyond 2 innings in any intrasquad game this Spring. He started throwing 91 - 92 MPH, but by the 3rd inning was throwing only 86 - 88, all the while leaving the ball up in the zone. If this trend continues, perhaps Amador is best used as a 1 - 2 inning set-up guy out of the pen where he can go all-out when he's out there.

3. It was very clear that Otto was not fully warmed up when he was hastily summoned from the pen (after Amador started the 4th inning with a no doubt HR, followed by a crushed double and a line out). Not only was he leaving pitches up in the zone when he came in, but he was only throwing 87 - 88 (vs. the 93 - 94 he was throwing over the weekend). When he came out in the 5th inning, his fastball was back up in the 91 - 92 range, and he was starting to have better command of his curveball. I only hope Otto will be available to throw an inning or two by the Sunday game, as we'll probably need him.

Game Ball #1: Our Freshmen RHP duo of Willy Amador (3.1 IP, 4 hits, 2 runs, 2 BBs, 5 Ks) and Glenn Otto (4.1 IP, 4 hits, 0 runs, 2 BBs, 5 Ks)-- neither was lights out, but they got the job done under very cold conditions when it is never easy to pitch.

Game Ball #2: The middle of our order duo of Leon Byrd (2-4, double, run...and with back-to-back leadoff hits in the 6th and 8th) and JC Reeves (2-4, HR #2, run, 2 RBIs)...with the game-winning bomb).

Game Ball #3: I could have given it to Matty Ditman (W, 1.1 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs, 0 BBs, 1 K) for making quick work in the 9th inning, but I'm giving it to Kirby Taylor (2-3, double, BB, 2 run scored).

Safe travels everyone to Arizona. Go Owls!

59 Ks by Rice pitchers over first 5 games.

59 hits by Rice batters over first 5 games (double digit hit totals in all game so far).

Love both the production and the symmetry.

Texas had 14 runs and 20 hits yesterday in a 14-2 win against UTSA (although most of it came late in two big innings). But that was pretty much their output in the first three games against Rice so that's a nice indication of the stoutness of the Owl pitching staff.
