Wolfpack Get Their Revenge

We had a hard fought series against the Wolfpack in a rematch of last years finals. To no surprise this series went all three games with the Pack coming out on top. Game one featured a pitchers duel with Albo and their ace lefty. Both pitched well and we ended up scoring in the bottom of the seventh on a routine play at first that was booted. We won 3-2.Game 2 was close until about the 5th inning. Teddy took the loss, but threw well. A lot of 0-2 counts that didn’t turn out as planned. Joyce peppered their pitcher in the knee on a come-backer, but that guy threw well even after being knocked down. Albo had 3 knocks. Kellen made a great catch in left field. We lost 9-5. Game 3 was another well pitched game by both teams. Again to no surprise Valis (the biggest Longhorn killer of them all) made an appearance and we countered with Arne since we were short players. They hit a bleeder to go up in the 7th and we fell short when it was our turn to bat. We failed to capitalize on their 5 errors made by their third basemen and couldn’t come up with a clutch hit when needed. Both teams gave it all they had with many from both sides playing hurt. Good luck to the Wolfpack the rest of the playoffs.I think this might be the first time in Longhorns history that we have been knocked out in the first round of playoffs. It’s a combination of us getting older and the league getting better. We will be looking to recruit more next year. Even if we do I bet we will still struggle to get 9 guys in July and August to come out for games…
