The University of Texas Longhorn Baseall team kicked off their '15-'16 campaign today. The weather was great for a little scrimmage, low 80's to start ended in the low 90's on this Sunday.
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]LHP Travis Duke Started for the Home Team(Coaching Staff kept switching up the players). LHP Ty Culbreth started for the Visiting Team. Both Pitchers went 3 innings. Each gave up home runs to the Catcher's, Tres Barrera & Michael Cantu. Tres Barrera was a 3 run shot while Cantu was a 2 run shot. Barrera went over the 375 foot sign in left field while Cantus’ went to right of that.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Barrera's at bats were very loud and noticable where he went 2-4 with his 2 outs were line shots.[/SIZE]
Working the middle innings for both sides were LHP John Malmin and RHP Eric Dunbar. In the 6th and with Dunbar on the mound, Freshman Kody Clemens started off the inning with a single then stole 2nd. Then a walk, a Sac Bunt by Freshman OF Brady Harlan(Also had some nice plays in the Outfield). My notes are a bit confusing, as the same 4 players came up twice in this inning. This is also where Cantu had his 2R Shot.
LHP Josh Sawyer and RHP Kacey Clemens worked the last 3 innings, Kacey working mostly to contact with a nice downhill plane.
Play of the game came off of left handed batter Patrick Mathis. Mathis turned on a pitched and laced one down the 1st baseline. Playing 1st Base(most of the day) #11 Travis Jones went to his left, put his glove down, the ball was hit so hard, that the ball ricocheted toward the 1st base. In the score book it will go down as a 3UA play. But to see it live was like WOW.
#17 Bret Boswell started at SS
#11 Travis Jones also had a triple to LCF
Augie Garrido addressed the team after the 9 inning scrimmage and emphasied old habits need to be broken, to get rid of the negative attitudes on when something did not go right. One of the goals Garrido told the team after the scrimmage was that the coaches will be working on Changing/Replacing old Attiutudes with Positive attitudes. He wants his team to be mentally tough.
To Note: I am working off of not having a Fall Roster.
Some numbers that I need to get the info;
#32, #37, #6(Think this was Macalla), #4, #41
