KSU vs Texas Game 3

Texas looks to sweep the series against KSU and vault up to the top of the conference race in the third and last game of the series.
The weather should be much better and and the ball will probably be carrying more than it has in the first two games in the cool damp air.

Kacy Clemens will back in the rotation today as the Sunday starter again after having that role earlier in the season. Having his glove back at first in the first two games was something I had hoped would happen again. His hitting seems to have improved and I hope he can be used at first often this season. Being able to use whichever of our two excellent catchers isn't behind the plate in the DH role, has also helped shore up that hole in the lineup, which hadn't been producing much.
