Those two early runs will play LARGE today. Lemoine is a solid pitcher, and won't make a ton of mistakes.

good thing we batted first. 😎

for you guys who want to downplay revenue for "fan experience and wins at all costs" i hope you're watching the super regional.  the ONLY reason this regional is in austin is because UT guaranteed 90K more per game than UH and the NCAA admitted that that was the reason.

how's that for fan experience?  we're here, not in Houston.  perfect example of how having the revenue impacts fan experience.   i don't hear anybody crying that the regional is here and not there.

I would be fine with game in Houston

Easier to get to

Plus we are a good road team
