***⚾️ Texas vs Boise State Game Thread***

[joeywa]

Good afternoon Seamheads.  Tonight the Horns take on Boise State at the Disch.  This is the first time Boise State has played a baseball game in 1980.  They have revived their program and open up play against a hot Texas team. 

We'll have all angles covered, from PBP on Twitter, game updates here and a recap by Austin Stevens after things conclude.  Feel free to join in and discuss your thoughts.  HookEm!

Texas plates 1 in B5, but leave 3 stranded.  Could've been a lot more.

Faltine has a lot of Hamilton in him. That’s a good thing. 

Yes he does.  I think he's better at the plate at this point in his career than David was.  Maybe not quite as 'rangy' in the field.

I got to watch Tuesday and tonight. You can’t help but notice him. Always making plays. Hamilton was the same way. Demands your attention.
