Texas only gets one across after having the bases loaded and no outs. Marlow strikes out, then Hall hits a ball down the right field line, scoring Moynihan from third.
Then Felts and McElroy both end up in the vicinity of third while Hall is standing at second. Hall tries to go back to first but gets easily tagged there. He gets out so fast McElroy doesn't have a chance to get back to second. He then gets caught in a pickle and gets tagged out to end the inning.
+1..........I understand why Moynihan didn't try to score. Its hard to judge the fly ball but what the hell was the first base coach doing?
Felts should have been running. And Hall should have at least run back and forth to give McElroy time to get back to second. He left him out to dry by not making it harder on the UCSB fielders to get him out.
Mazza does a solid job, striking out the first two Longhorns he faced then got a grounder to short from Hinojosa to keep Texas from getting anything out of the leadoff walk.
This maybe the best all round game tonight for the Horns............timely hitting (scored in multiple innings), good defense and outstanding pitching. The only blemish is the base running in the 7th inning.
