Jim Schlossnagle and the Longhorns begin their NCAA Tournament postseason run this afternoon at Disch-Falk Field.

Texas takes on Houston Christian with LHP Ethan Walker getting his second start of the season.

The centerfield wall and batters' eye have been constructed!

If you haven’t accounted for extra traffic due to McCombs Field hosting the UIL softball tournament, you need to get in the car ASAP.

Man a lot of faith in Walker. I have tickets to Sunday night game

Jonah is back in the lineup. Love it. 

[Jeff Howe]

Parker Edwards from HCU is a righty, which explains why Schloss is going with Jonah over Tommy Farmer in the lineup.

[Jeff Howe]

Houston Christian LF Jack Walker hits third in the order. He's the son of legendary LSU infielder Todd Walker, a 12-year Major Leaguer who left LSU as the all-time SEC leader hits, runs scored, RBI and total bases.

Region of doom! 

Winner of that region is my favorite longshot to win the tournament. It's very tough.

[Realist Horn]

looks like their starting pitcher is averaging less than 1 strike out per inning (0.81) - hopefully we make good contact early. 

[Jeff Howe]

If you blinked, you might've missed the top of the first. Ethan Walker got through it on six pitches, retiring the Huskies in order.

[Jeff Howe]

M1: Texas 0, HCU 0

[Dread-headed Texan]

6 pitches 3 outs I like the start

ECU going in dry on Florida.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza, Galvan and Belyeu are due up in the home half.

That is a damn low eye.  I bet whatever replaces it will have deeper anchors and a wind relief mechanism built in.

You ain't lyin. 10-2 lead for the Pirates in the top of the sixth.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Cannot believe this is only on ESPN+.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza did a really good job of staying alive with two strikes. He's on base after taking one in the shoulder.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan draws a walk. Only five of Edwards' first 11 pitches have been strikes.
