Round Rock: Pitchers' Duel

By Glenn Tanner - June 02, 2007

Same story here... After six innings, Irvine still leads Texas 2-1. Hits are 5-4 in favor of Texas.

They've wedged an extra 26 people in the park tonight -- attendance = 9,256, but they've been fairly quiet because Irvine's Scott Gorgen has really shut down the Texas offense. After allowing Brad Suttle's homer in the third, Gorgen retired eight batters in a row. Plus, he has gotten help from CF Ollie Linton, who ran down a deep blast in right-center with two on in the first, and ran down a deep blast in left-center with a runner on in the sixth.

At 90 pitches through six innings, Texas starter Adrian Alaniz has worked much harder for outs. Texas has made three errors, but Alaniz has struck out seven to minimize the damage.
