***Texas @ UCLA Official Game 3 Thread***

[joeywa]

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Game 3 live from Jackie Robinson Stadium.

The Longhorns will try to get the series win today over UCLA

It's a nice day out here; a bit overcast, but a comfortable 61 degrees. Sun is starting to peek through the clouds as the teams goes through their warm ups. Wind is light, 5-7 MPH from the ENE; as that relates to this field it's blowing in from RCF and that shouldn't be a factor today.

Lineup for Texas has a few changes, but Joe Baker is not starting today. Still nursing a minor injury to his foot. IF is back to what we're used to seeing. Mathis in the DH spot and Connor Mayes will be on the hill.

Mayes fell awkwardly on his hand, doesn't appear to be injured, just kind of shaking his wrist a bit.
