OTF Premium Texas names a starting pitcher for the Austin Regional opener | Thursday, 8:28 a.m.

[Jeff Howe]

@Blake Munroe hinted at this initially during our livestream in conjunction with the selection show on Monday.

We knew Dylan Volantis wouldn’t start against Holy Cross. The only question was whether Schloss and Max Weiner would go with Harrison or make it a bullpen game.

The Longhorns are going with the veteran lefty, who has been better at Disch-Falk than he has on the road.

[Hookem1012]

Good decision.

[WRNC]

UCSB RHP Calvin Proskey (0-0, 2.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 28.0 IP) will start on the mound tomorrow against Tarleton State RHP Cort Lowry (2-3, 3.24 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 50.0 IP).  

Dylan Volantis vs Jackson Flora?

Smart move.  Will it pay off?

Is Holy Cross the worst team we've faced all year?

It's college baseball, anything can happen, but Holy Cross is < .500 on the year?

On the other hand, UCSB might find Tarleton a bit more challenging than they anticipated.

If HC is not the worst team we’ve played, they are very close.  Incarnate Word and TAMUCC are the only two with worse RPIs.  HC is 201.  TAMUCC is 202.  UIW is 220.

Tarleton is not a strong 3 seed.  But, yes they could win.

It is possible that we have the most difficult second game draw in the entire tourney.
