PrintAnd you thought that '05 Game 4 against the Braves was nuts.
--------------------
Texas reliever Austin Wood pitched 13 innings, including 12 1-3 innings of no-hit ball before allowing a two-out single to Tony Sanchez in the 19th inning.
“In my 41 years of coaching, the effort by Austin Wood was the best pitching performance I have ever seen,” said Texas coach Augie Garrido, the Division I leader in career victories.

I followed the game on a gamecast from 19th inning on
Thinking the game would be over quickly I maintained a running thread at the bottom of Saturday’s Astros game thread (I hope this link works): http://www.crawfishboxes.com/2009/5/30/893695/houston-astros-at-pittsburgh#comments
By the 23d inning I wonderied if someone ought to order a pizza to the duiout for the players.

Just in case anyone was wondering...
Austin Wood, the reliever who finished the last 13 innings for the Longhorns, was not the guy drafted by the Astros last year in the 36th round. Last year’s Austin Wood ended up going to Florida State. It’d be interesting to see an Austin Wood (UT) vs. Austin Wood (FSU) matchup!
It was more like
the MIDDLE 13 innings! They played 6 innings after he exited

As an someone who went to high school and played some little league with the UT Austin Wood
My prayers are with him that his arm recovers from that kind of intensity. He’s worked ridiculously hard over the last few years to get where he has gotten and I hate to see some sort of freak injury pop out of that kind of stunt. Congrats, though, Austin.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
sounded from his statements
like he refused to come out of the game and was having a blast the whole time. from comments i read on the Longhorn SBN blog, he has a pretty free and easy motion, so he’s a candidate for pitching longer than most. i agree that with today’s attention paid to pitch counts, seeing a college kid throw that many pitches immediately raises concern for injury. hopefully that’s not the case here.

Statesman today
Had the same quote: “I’m not coming out of this game.” Apparently he said the next day that it hurt, but it’s a good hurt, not “the bad hurt”. No regrets at all. And shoot, it’s early to say he’s a UT legend, but he’s surely a candidate. If they go all the way this year, he’ll be remembered forever.

From a Keith Law Chat
Augie Garrido (Texas): I know you normally only chat for an hour or so, but I need you to chat for 12 hours today, is that going to be a problem?
Keith Law: After you had me chat for 90 minutes yesterday? Well, I’d say no, but then you’ll tell people I’m soft and I don’t want the keyboard, so … um … “Don’t even think about taking this laptop away from me.”
