Tough game tonight. Taylor Wall (Rice pitcher) was very, very good. He kept everything down and the Cats couldn't make good contact. Our relief pitching was not good and Brad left Todd in too long. Rice has excellent hitters and they took advantage of every good pitch. Ryan Daniel did not look good at all even during warmups, but Rooke and Marshall pitched well. Our lack of starting pitching depth clearly hurt us tonight just like it has all year.
The guy that fell out of the stands fell over a 4.5 ft chain link fence going for a ball that had been hit foul down the right field line. The top flight Rice security didn't even go over and take the guy out of the ballpark since fans are not suppose to be on the field. It was embarrassing that he was wearing purple.
Overall, Xavier didn't do us any favors earlier today by not getting into their bullpen and Wall closed the door with his cg. It is all working Rice's way and they will be difficult to beat tomorrow. Considering the outcomes of the other Big 12 schools' games today we all sucked.
