am watching on Longhorn Network...
Texas tied it at six....after a freshman comes up with 5 scoreless innings of relief.
they're in the 8th...Ennis (Hampshire) on in relief for WVU..retired two with runner at 1st.
Justin Fox (Magnolia) 0 errors in 114 chances at third....No. 113 should make sportscenter. wow
8th inning -- WVU gets a runner on and steals 2nd...he's going to be out by 5 feet...probably leaves the baseline, but avoids tag and is called safe....UT manager goes out and gets tossed.
Fox is hit by the very next pitch...ump rules he turned into it, calls him back..(Big XII umpires..sheez)
Fox then takes ball 4 6 inches inside..is called back by the umpire for strike two....3-2 he fouls off two pitches....strikes out, but Munden steals third.
Finally they take out this true freshman kid Mayes after 6 2/3...good riddance.
Next guy lines to left.
Top of the order up for Texas against true freshman Ennis, who is only making his third appearance since pitching for Hampshire High last year.

Ennis fans Johnson with two sliders and a fastball.
Ennis hits the next guy on a 3-2 pitch.
Hinojosa up; grounds to Fox, who makes a wide throw, but 1B tags the hitter out...runner to 2nd.
Barrera up; Ennis wild pitches runner to 3rd. Ennis powers a high fastball by him for strike two...crowd rises...2-2 count, slider slashed foul down the RF side...high fastball popped up...Catcher goes into the Texas dugout trying to get it, but can't.
Ennis drills Barrera in the helmet with the next one...and stays down for a second, goes to first.
1st and 3rd, 2 out.
Cantu up. Ennis throws a splitter in the dirt and Cantu chases it. Then Cantu fouls a fastball off. 0-2 count. A slider very high and dropped by the C...no advance. 1-2.
