Texas Stunned: Blown Lead Sparks Shocking 9-7 Defeat at Houston
With senior right-hander Max Grubbs into the game, the defense for the Longhorns misfired when a throwing error by junior catcher Andrew Ermis allowed an unearned run to score, although Grubbs was able to retire the final two batters of the inning.
The eighth inning went even more poorly for Texas. Graduate left-hander Cal Higgins replaced Grubbs to start the frame and induced a groundout to second base by the leadoff batter, then allowed the game-tying home run on the next pitch.
Winfield continued to torment his former team with an infield single that prompted Schlossnagle to call in junior right-hander Thomas Burns. In a sign of things to come, Burns struck out the first batter he faced on an 0-2 pitch that hit him, gave up a four-pitch walk, and allowed an 0-2 RBI single. After walking Broussard, Burns couldn’t find the strike zone at all on another four-pitch walk to hand the Cougars a two-run lead heading into the ninth inning.
The Texas batters went down 1-2-3 in the ninth to end a poor hitting performance that only featured three hits for the Longhorns, who were able to take advantage of 11 walks and three errors by the Cougars, but also stranded 10 base runners in going 2-for-12 (.167) with runners on base, 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position (.167), and 1-for-6 (.167) with the bases loaded, missing multiple opportunities to create a bigger, more secure lead.
