First pitch at 6:05 PM CST at the Disch. 

Jr. RHP Lukas Schiraldi (5-2; 3.68) on the bump for Texas. 

Sr. RHP Matthew Harrell (2-6; 4.41) gets the nod for UTPA

Horns have won 9 of their last 13, and 15 of their last 20.

UT is ranked as follows:

#11-Perfect Game

#16-Collegiate Baseball Newspaper

I'll post the lineup card when it is available.

Tonight is a good night to bounce back and get ready for a big series this weekend against Okie St.

Hook Em!

Lineups:

 

[utisdabomb12]

Not a good start here for Schiraldi. Can't find the strike zone. Falling behind in counts. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Schiraldi overthrowing. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Schiraldi's day is going to be done really early if he doesn't find the strike zone soon. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Bases loaded for UTPA with nobody out in the first. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

1-0 UTPA. 1 out, guy on 1st and 3rd. Big out there for Lukas though. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Another 4 pitch walk for Lukas. 1-0 UTPA. Bases loaded with two outs. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

1-0 UTPA after the top of the 1st. Have no clue how Lukas only gave up 1 run, couldn't throw a strike. Maybe he can settle down next inning.
