I like this kid Cantu. 

He let that pitch go oppo for the RBI's. Freshmen aren't supposed to do that in February.

Shaw's hit was the 6th straight leadoff hitter to reach tonight for UT; and it was Texas' 9th hit of the night.  You read that right, 9th hit and we're not even through 6 complete.

[joeywa]

Man Barrera smoked that, unlucky. 

The wind giveth, the wind taketh away

Hard hit liner that the wind beat down and gave LF a chance at the tracks to slide under it.

 

[joeywa]

T7

Malmin in to P for Texas

 

[Matt Cotcher]

After Tuesday night's game, Barrera talked about how luck plays into hitting, saying that sometimes you hit it really hard but it doesn't fall.

Foreshadowing, IMO.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Lefties aren't going to do much against Malmin.
