I got to arrive at the Rice Houston finale around the 8th inning. I think the Cougars too the lead in the top of 8th, the score was 7-6. Then Rice tied it in the bottom of the 8th. They had a few chances in the ninth but later won on a home run by Manuel in the 12th.

It looked like everyone was trying to hit a home run after the ninth to get a walk off win. It finally happened. Manuel had come close to the same right field his last time up. The last time he hit a low liner that went over near the foul pole.

From where I sat in the bleachers down the right field line I could not tell if it was fair. I had to wait to hear the cheers. I did get a close look at the ball flying out. I just could not tell about the angle.

I was good for Rice. It completes a sweep.

Graham was using little used pitchers after I got there. There were five pitchers used I think. Boogie A. was the winner. I think he went close to two full innings.
