Both Stanford and Texas were due for this game. Brandon Workman was very solid, but his command was just off, leading to a 7-1 Stanford victory and snapping the Horns' win streak at 11. The game was far closer than the final score would indicate, and the appearance of Jordan Etier, Preston Clark and Russell Moldenhauer in the starting lineup for the first time all season are all positives to take away from this one.
As we said in the preview, taking just one game of the series was an acceptable outcome, but two of three would be fantastic and say a lot about this team's ability to fight back.
It'll likely be Cole Green on the mound against Max Fearnow (starter in the two previous Sunday's for the Tree). Despite his name, Fearnow has been pretty poor to start the season (0-2, 10.57 ERA), whereas Cole Green has been lights out despite getting only one run of support during his two starts.
Game starts at 3 PM Central.

LSU loses the rubber game of the weekend
Drops the series to the Ilini at home.
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
Illini
8-2 on the year now, might have a pretty good squad.
Aggy lost game 2 to Utah, but is up 5-2 in game 3. They’ve now been shut out twice on the young season. Looking like UNC will go 2-1 this weekend as well. If we win this game we’ve got a pretty good shot at being #1 in Baseball American come Monday.

Horns load the bases in the first
But fail to score

Where’s the excitement? Or at least the interest?
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
I'm pretty sure they're students
Hard to get too upset…
Keyes pops up to first on a 3-1 pitch
40AS - March 8, 2009
If so - I want that job
But I guess I’m not a student anymore… I keep forgetting how old I have become
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
Tucker described as "pretty much their leadoff guy"

So...I understand this is a college baseball team broadcast...
But these camera angles and announcers are horrible.
Brandon Worley - March 8, 2009
Now the play-by-play guy is taking over
Ugh
40AS - March 8, 2009
This sounds like the
“Boom! Goes the Dynamite!” college guy is calling this game now.
Brandon Worley - March 8, 2009
He just said the Stanford pitcher that gave up 5 runs had a good outting
40AS - March 8, 2009
Lol..
Well…I just put it on mute. Can’t stand that mess.

The play-by-play guy is leaving and they’re putting that guy in charge?

Everything he says sounds like a question
“Hit down the left field line?”

Get the lead runner on a fielder's choice
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
Great play by Hernandez
Fielders choice gets the lead runner at 3rd
40AS - March 8, 2009
Why go after the lead runner there? Just to keep the double play in order?
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
I think he was already leaning that way and it was the easier play
Although with these camera angles it’s hard to tell
40AS - March 8, 2009
Fly to right, one more out!
40AS - March 8, 2009
Fly to left
Ball game!
Big win!
12-1 on the year!
40AS - March 8, 2009
Always a good weekend when you take 2 out of 3 from Stanford in Palo Alto
Texas Wahoo - March 8, 2009
2 out of 3
Not too shabby…
Another great start from Cole Green, and one big inning on offense got the job done.
