Texas Tech @ Mizzou game two livethread

Ramos throwing inside a lot early.

Hicks will go two today because McCormick had to throw yesterday. He struck out the first two in the second and got a flyout, so two shutout innings is the extent of his outing.

1-0 Mizzou.

He’s on fire!

Offense in business here.

Scooter Hicks has 5 strikeouts through three really good innings of work.

I mean really good. That is all.

It hit into the pine trees behind the 370 mark on the outfield. It had to go at least 400 feet.

7-0 Mizzou.

Hicks gives up a one-out double in the top of the fifth to break up the perfect game.

gives up a two-out walk and a two-run double. Jamieson going to the bullpen for Ryan Clubb.

Still, this was a hell of an outing for Hicks. Nobody expected him to go more than two innings, but he goes 4.1 without allowing a baserunner.

TT cuts the score to 7-4 with that big inning.

Remember Rick Zagone? He’s been pretty good so far in the Orioles organization. In fact, he was way better facing low-A hitters in 2008 than he was against college hitters.

Also, Trevor Coleman just picked up an RBI single. 8-4 MU.

Runner on third for Tech, two out.

9-4 MU now in the bottom of the sixth.

His second HR today. 9-5 MU now, runner on first nobody out for Tech with Gargano pitching.

9-5 Mizzou, Buehler coming on for the save.

Today’s attendance: 1,506. Just shy of 3,000 for the first two games of the series.
