Riojas had 11 strikeouts, which is a new total in a game for him. He has pitched 15/16 innings with a total of 30 strikeouts in the 3 games he has started.

Texas has a total of 17 strikeouts of Coastal Carolina hitters. It's been awhile since a Texas pitching staff has done that.

Now I don't think it would've matter, but Coastal Carolina ace pitcher is currently on the shelf. Haven't heard of an major injury for him.
The Saturday night game is supposedly to start at 7:05 PM, but expect it to be closer to 8:05 PM.

To watch go to either the Houston Astros YouTube channel or Texas Longhorn baseball live on YouTube.

Game 2 should be starting in about 10 minutes.

Baylor did beat Ole Miss yesterday in extra innings.

Today's games were somewhat faster. UTSA was up on Coastal Carolina 13-7 earlier when checking the YouTube channel for Houston Astros.

If the line up that I think Keith was telling it is as follows
Mendoza, Tinney, Robbins, A Rod, Becerra, Pack Jr, Borba, Larson, Courville. Will double check that once the game starts.
