Going to seventh

It's 4-1. UTA stranded two more in the sixth, putting them at eight for the game. Rett Varner is in to relieve for the Mavs. -Trae

Almost

Raley just hit a ball to shallow center for UTA. TCU second baseman Ben Carruthers tried to leap and make the catch, but the ball was inches above his glove. Runners at first and second with one out. -Trae

Two stranded

UT-Arlington got a pair of singles, including a nice hit by Michael Choice, but Danny Slinkman grounded into a force out at second. We're in the sixth. TCU leads 4-1. -Trae

For those keeping track

Mavs starter Matthew Otteman has settled down. He's now retired nine straight since the third. -Trae

Web gem II

TCU shortstop Bryan Kervin connected on a shot to center, but UTA's Michael Choice made a diving catch for the third out. Very nice play. -Trae

Lined out

Justin McPherson lined out to right to end the inning. By the way, Raley's at-bat was ruled a hit. Just a change there. It's top of the fifth now. -Trae

Mavs get one in

Evan Raley reached on a fielder's choice, and Danny Slinkman scored from third. It's 4-1. Mavs are still batting with two outs. -Trae

Plunked

The Mavs' first two batters were hit in the bottom of the fourth. Here's a chance to do something. -Trae

Switch made

Obviously, Wilson must have hurt himself on that catch in left, cause UTA just pulled him and put Blake Holt in his place. -Trae

Mavs held in check

UTA was retired in order in the third. That's eight straight now that Gerrish has retired. Going to the fourth. -Trae
