Radar looks ugly.

They could play at my house. We haven’t had a drop of rain today.

Ditto in Comal County. 75% chance of much needed rain in today’s forecast. We’ve had nada and radar is clear.

They are still going to try to play tonight. Now hoping for an 8 pm start (which might be possible since we have a turf field!). Tomorrow’s forecast sucks too so it might not be a bad idea and try to wait it out.

My yard is now out of the question as it has started raining here and I have a grass yard which doesn’t drain well.

Hahaha

But thanks for the offer!

What’s the distance out to your right center field fence?

Houston Christian is terrible. Be interesting who is fired first, Berkman or Cruz.

8:04 first pitch, supposedly, but still waiting on ESPN+ to start?

Got the audio feed on the RiceOwls app. JP said something about a power failure affecting the campus and the “video folks were working on rebooting their systems.”

Down 1-0 after top of the first.

At 8:07 pm (Central time; 6:07 here on the West Coat), this was my "Live" ESPN+ stream:



It had me thinking of this George Carlin "Hippy-Dippy Weatherman" forecast:

"The forecast for tonight? Dark! ... Continued dark tonight, turning to partly light in the morning."

It's at 1:16 here in this video:

3-1 Rice going to 2nd

A couple of HBPs followed by a single loads the bases to start the T2. Leads to a run for HBU on a Double Play ball. 3-2 going to B2.

Did the video folks call it a night? I don't see the game on the ESPN+ site anymore.

I noticed the same thing. I suspect that we’re not getting ESPN+ tonight.

6-3 heading to the 4th

Current HCU pitcher had 5 Ks in 11 IP coming into tonight. He's struck out 4 Rice batters in 2.0 innings. WTH is wrong with us?

6-4 headed to T5. HCU has out hit the Owls 9-5. 2 of the Owls 6 runs are unearned.

Vincent inherits a 6-3 lead, but HCU now ties it in the 5th.

Rice now down 6-7 still in T5. They've out hit us 12-5. The frequency of strikeouts, even against awful pitching, is just astonishingly bad. Again I ask, who the heck is the hitting coach?

Still losing 7-6 going into the 7th

Grand slam. 10-7.
