Another quick note: the TexasSports audio is a pay-per-listen event. It's not free. Sorry to disappoint.

 

[joeywa]

Word from LHN is that Augie/Skip opted for Peters over French because they felt that French has been struggling a bit getting ahead of pitchers, and against a team like Rice that has been hitting well, we needed someone to get ahead in the count early.

The Rocket is going to throw out the first pitch tonight.

 

[Topstarr]

Hook Em, Boys! Let's get this rolling

Texas takes the field first in their all whites with burnt orange undershirt sleeves.

Rice wearing their road blue jerseys with gray pants. I believe their feathers are well tucked in.
