Texas hitters need to be a bit more patient with this pitcher.  He throws a lot of offspeed stuff, has a good breaking ball and can locate the corners with his fastball.  Still early.

Joey, if we win, who do we have to throw in 2nd game?

If we win that, has WVU lost one yet? I'm thinking they have, but didn't look it up. Who do we have to throw tomorrow? Dammit, I hate the losers's bracket!

Hook 'em, boys!

WVU hasn't lost one yet.  I'd imagine we could come back with Culbreth if we get to that point. 

I don't know who we'd throw this afternoon.  I'll try to look into it in a bit.
