Wichita State vs Texas (Recap added)

[utisdabomb12]

Great at bat from Barrera, exactly how you should approach this pitcher. Get ahead and wait for batting practice.

B2nd cont'd

Johnson, infield single, bases loaded with 1 out 

Barrera, Sac fly on a 2-0 pitch, jammed him a bit but the run scores easily, 2 out runners at 1B & 2B

Hinojosa, runners both try to advance on a misplay by the catcher but he's out at third

Headed to T3rd - Texas up 4-0
