First the good news, we took the first game from OSU. Kyle Nicholson pitched another great game, striking out a career high nine batters. Childress ominous comment was that "We made several mistakes on the bases and defensively and still found a way to win." Now the bad news, we lost the next two. In the second game OSU went up in the sixth off Brodie Greene's throwing error, there are those mistakes again. Greene made up for the E in the eighth with his two-out, game-tying RBI single. You know what is better than a two-out, game-tying RBI single in the eighth? Simon's two-out, two-RBI, game winning double in the ninth. Never heard of Simon? Well that is because he plays for OSU. The third game was a slug-fest. Both teams had 13 hits. We used seven pitchers, OSU used eight. In my preview of this game I noted OSU had more the most homers in the Big-12. Well, they added three more in this game. One of those was a ninth-inning two-run game winner. I was hoping to get out of this home series in second place, take care of business against two bottom half teams (Baylor, K-State), and have the Texas series be a battle for the Big-12. At least it is finally warm in DC.
