Indeed, yall made me look it up
It’s just the top of the 5th but it feels like the Horns are now on the ropes as they’re currently down 6-2 to the Sooners.
Congrats to the Sooners on the 10-5 win and another national title in softball. 59-3 and as dominant a season in any team sport as you can imagine.
Congrats to the Longhorn women as well.
The Longhorn assistant coach seemed to be an ass.

Props to UT, Okie State, and UCLA for beating them.
Major congrats to the UT team as well, they were not supposed to be there.
A handy schedule for watching the supers…
These are eastern times.

Players to watch in the supers who are of draft interest…
1st round:
- OF Jordan Beck (Tennessee)
- RHP Blade Tidwell (Tennessee)
- OF Drew Gilbert (Tennessee)
- OF Jacob Melton (Oregon St.)
- LHP Cooper Hjerpe (Oregon St.)
- OF Brock Jones (Stanford)
- SS Peyton Graham (OU)
All the above players except two have either shown up in mocks or been specifically linked to the Astros. Gilbert and Hjerpe are plausible picks based on where they currently rank on the draft boards
2nd thru 5th round:
- C Dalton Rushing (Louisville)
- 3B Cayden Wallace (Arkansas)
- 2B Robert Moore (Arkansas)
- SS Jalen Battles (Arkansas)
- LHP Jake Bennett (OU)
- SS Tanner Schobel (Virginia Tech)
- C Cade Hunter (Virginia Tech)
- RHP Ben Joyce (Tennessee)
- 3B Trey Lipscomb (Tennessee)
- 1B Ivan Melendez (UT)
- C Silas Ardoin (UT)
- SS Trey Faltine (UT)
- LHP Pete Hansen (UT)
- C Hayden Dunhurst (Ole Miss)
- 3B/RHP Jack Brannigan (Notre Dame)
- OF Justin Boyd (Oregon St.)
Read the reason for his conduct after the game before you issue your final judgment. The Texas coach explained what happened in his post-game PC.
Can you provide a link or a synopsis regarding the UT coach’s comments? I couldn’t find anything when I looked.
It came in a notice from a Longhorn site, maybe Burnt Orange Nation. I do not have a link.
It apparently is this team’s tradition to give home run balls to the player’s family, but this umpire had not returned the ball, which came back on the field, to the UT dugout. The assistant coach was trying to get the ball from the umpire, which he finally did.
Not just the team’s, I think. If I heard correctly in an earlier broadcast, it’s a tradition at that tournament.
This is my understanding as well
Just reporting what I read. I was checking in on the score but was not watching the game.
Horns up 2-0 in the 1st on a Stehly HR
ECU already with 3 in the first with no out.
If Hansen can’t get it together the Horns are toast
Fortunately the inning ends with no further damage
Hansen had an inauspicious first inning: BB (HPU has a tight zone), bunt single (he was late covering the bag), oppo bloop single, bases loaded WP scores 1, oppo line drive 2-run single…sac bunt, K, F7 end the inning. 3-2 Pirates.
After 2 not-quick 3-up-3-down innings, Hansen gives up leadoff 2B, K, 2-R HR, 2B to open the 4th.
Bullpen action, Hansen over 80P through 3.1
Good Lord, Melendez just hit a ball that may never come down to left.
7-3 ECU.
And Staley, who made an absolute circus catch in the top of the 6th doing a full flip over the fence in to the bullpen down the RF line, follows suit and demolishes one to left as well. 7-4.

East Carolina University seems misnamed. East North Carolina University would be more descriptive, accurate, and proper. What if South Carolina had the temerity to have their own ECU?
