Texas v. Rice February 18-20, 2022

[Chop]

The Rice pen is down to Shaw, the red headed left hander… (well, he is 6’7”)

This was not what Jose Cruz, Jr signed up for…

=

Yet Shaw gets the K to get out of the inning. He’s a big, big pitcher.

WITT!!!

Pitches out of a jam. 5 innings completed. 1 run. Fastball velocity up to 97 mph.

 

[Chop]

Luke Harrison—Freshman from Friendswood comes in to relieve Witt. 10-1 us.

 

[old65horn]

Yeah, just posted yesterday we need to get him going!!!!

 

[Chop]

A second MONSTER HOME RUN by Melendez. I’d say he’s back!!!





13-1
Bovines over Avians

 

[Chop]

And here’s our new pitcher Daniel Blair. Transfer from Winthrop.

?????

Looks like he can bring some heat. Throwing 97mph.


Our pitching depth is ridiculous. And pitching depth is what matters most in the college game. We haven’t even seen Nixon yet.

 

[Chop]

Enter new pitcher LaBarron Johnson.

Nice drop on that slider.
And his fastball hit 97mph

 

[Chop]

Sure we’ll drop some games, and maybe some series, but this phenomenal quality pitching depth (plus great starters) is tailored made for the Regionals and Omaha.

Pierce and Allen can really scout the pitchers.

 

[Chop]

Looks like Nixon will close us out!

 

[Chop]

Nixon threw up to 98mph (the strong legs help—-ask Nolan Ryan)

14-2 Horns win!

 

[Chop]

SWEEP!!!
