The winner of this game advances to the Championship tomorrow
Texas draws even, 2-2….to the 6th inning
By the way
does anyone want me to give live updates today like I’ve been doing? It doesn’t matter either way to me, I’d just been doing it because I figured people were at work and couldn’t watch. But alas, it’s Saturday, and most people are off today. Let me know before the start of the game, so I can get my scoresheet printed.
well...if you honestly don't mind...
…I’ll be working on house stuff most of the time and just randomly checking in, and it’s fun to read down the thread…

4, 5 and 6 batters due up for Mizzou:
Aaron Senne
Kyle Mach
Steve Gray
Garrett Richards is the starting pitcher for the Sooners.
Looks to be a decent crowd at the park for the game, which is to be expected with the Sooners playing. I’d guess the lower section is 70-80% full, the middle deck is about 50%, and the upper deck 25-30%.
Aaron Baker

Bottom of the 3rd, 2--0 Oklahoma

9, 1 and 2 batters up for the Sooners:
Chris Ellison
Jamie Johnson
Matt Harughty
Sorry I missed the stats on the bottom of the 4th for the 2nd time through the order…will get that next time. Again, not keeping a scorecard for the Sooners, they can keep their own damn scorecard.
Jamie Johnson
line drive back up the middle, into CF and Ellison comes around to score…3-2 OU, runner on 1st, no out
Matt Harughty

Action in the OU bullpen

Steve Gray
grounded to first, throw to the pitcher gets the 2nd out, and Senne scores…Mizzou leads 4-3, 2 out
Ryan Ampleman
popped up, should have been routine for the 2B, but he trips over the bag, and Mach scores!!! 5-3 Mizzou!!!
And that will end the day for Richards

OT:
I got pen ink on my hand, which got on my Mizzou baseball jersey. Will it come off when I wash it?

I'm not doing the softball live updates
nor the baseball updates if Mizzou plays tomorrow. Computer facing the wrong way from the TV, and my neck hurts.
Are you doing a podcast this week?
