GotW: (6-25-05): Game 1 of the CWS: Florida v. Texas

[Fishercat]

Florida just can't put anything together, Texas is still up

[HuskerFan2002]

If Florida had their top pitcher pitching tonight, we'd see a much different outcome.

[Fishercat]

Through 7 and a half, Texas is still shutting out Florida, 4-0

[Fishercat]

Florida could be in deep trouble as J. Brent Cox is warming up.

1 out in the B7.

[Fishercat]

Heading into the bottom of the 8th and possibly J. Brent Cox, or who knows, maybe their baffling SP will stay up. We'll see.

[Fishercat]

Alanis is still on the mound. Throwing 3/4 of his first pitches for strikes and 2/3 of his breaking balls, can't blame the Longhorns.

Tordi bunts his way on with a miss by the pitcher (tough) and 2B.

[Fishercat]

Mistake by Teagarden to move the runner to second.

[Fishercat]

2 on and Alaniz might be having some issues. Teagarden is talking to Alaniz and Cox seems to be on the horizon.

Corselleti could be trouble to make it a 4-3 game, but here comes the pitching coach.

[Fishercat]

Alaniz is off and her comes Cox.

8-3, 1.82 ERA, Florida has an uphill climb

[Fishercat]

Another PB by Teagarden, wow, although it was tough

0-2, runners on 2nd and 3rd, Corsaletti hits it off himself

[Fishercat]

Corsaletti out on called third strike, and that was a bit close.

[Fishercat]

And down goes another hitter. Another K and it's LaPorta v. Cox.

Could be 4-3, or could be 4-0, let's see.

1-1

[Fishercat]

LaPorta puts it up the middle!

4-2 Longhorns, although you can pretty much charge one of those runs to Teagarden and the other to the second baseman.

[Fishercat]

Cox walks Jeroloman, and the go-ahead run is up. A defensive replacement, hooboy.

[Fishercat]

Any XBH will tie it up on this 3-2 count with a guy who hasn't batted in 2/3 of a month and he walks!

Bases Loaded, 2 outs, Bottom of the 8th, oh man!
