****Texas @ WVU Saturday Baseball Thread****

[joeywa]

Thornhill on the bump today. Tomorrow we will start with Schiraldi. The team will treat these next two days like tournament ball from a pitching perspective.

I'll have the lineups shortly.

Also of note, I'll be smoking St Louis ribs today during the game. Mmmmm!!!

Yep; 3 PM CST.  Again, you can listen on 1300 KVET, watch streaming on WVU website.  No LHN or TV today.
