It’s nice that the Houston Hearst daily decided to send one of its Big 12 reporters out to cover the University of Houston baseball game last night.
It would be even nicer if the Big 12 reporter would check the Cougar roster or official box score before filing his report:
Memphis scored two early runs off Lincoln, jumping on his mid-90s fastball early in the count. Lincoln started throwing his curveball and changeup to set up his fastball, and the results were dominating.
The Cougars righthander retired the final 13 batters he faced and allowed only two base runners after falling behind 2-0 in the third inning. He struck out five of his final six batters before exiting after eight innings. Boone Clayton pitched the ninth and got the win.
His name is Clayton Boone.
Maybe the Big 12 reporter ought to spend a little more time reading Chron.com’s excellent UH Sports blog. UH journalism student Ronnie Turner really does a nice job with it. Turner’s post on last night’s Cougar victory was filed at 9:30 pm, incidentally.
