OSU-Texas: Horns strike first; Cowboys make pitching move

By Tristan Threlkeld - April 29, 2007

For the first time all weekend the Texas Longhorns scored the games first run. On Friday and Saturday the OSU Cowboys struck first by mounting a 2-0 lead in each game, but the Longhorns would go on to win each game. this time around the Horns struck first after they loaded the bases in the top of the third. Kyle Russell hit a sac fly to score the first run. So with only 1 out in the top of the third 1-0 Texas. Lets see if the lead stays the whole game or if it will be a little role reversal.

With the bases loaded for the second time in the third, OSU starter Joe Kent walked his second batter of the inning to put Texas up 2-0. After Kent walked in the second run he was relieved by Justin Friend, after a 2-2 count Friend balked in the third run for the Longhorns. Homeplate umpire Mike Morris has made five balk call this weekend, the first four where from Friday's game and the one today.
