Texas (45-14) will send Ruger Riojas to the mound against Zane Adams and the Crimson Tide. It’s the same pitching matchup from when the two clubs met in Austin on April 18, a 3-1 series-clinching win for the Longhorns, with Riojas striking out 11 and allowing three hits in five innings and Adams working six scoreless innings for Alabama (42-20).

Ethan Mendoza, who left the Georgia game with a shoulder issue, is in the lineup for Texas against the Tide. He's hitting in the No. 4 hole.

 

 

@Blake Munroe mentioned this in his notes yesterday, but Ethan Mendoza is expected to be in the lineup against Alabama after leaving the Georgia game with a shoulder issue.

 

 

Will be there today and am hoping that we will be able to stay for another one.  The boys need to put on their hitting shoes today and be more aggressive at the plate and in the field.  Hook’em.  🤘

 

Hopefully the bats show up today.

 

 

Hearing rumors Mendoza is hitting 4th today? Any truth to that @Jeff Howe?

Yes, according to the posted lineup.

 

The Texas-Alabama preview begins around the 16-minute mark:

 

Kendall Rogers' key to a Texas victory: "For Texas, it's get the ball to Sam Cozart with a lead."

We'll be doing a livestream on the YouTube channel during the game, if you want to come hang out:

When did those gloves become a thing for baserunners?

When guys realized there was a better way to protect their hands and fingers when sliding into bases.

I need to ask the home plate umpire what his workout routine is. Strictly biceps/triceps, hasn't seen a leg machine once.
