Administrators HornSports Staff Posted June 24, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Photo: Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports Five teams remain in Omaha.... Texas is one of them. Following their 8-4 victory over Tennessee on Tuesday to stay alive in Omaha, the Longhorns are back in action on Thursday Night. Holding strong in the loser's bracket, Texas will face a Virginia team that gave up a large lead and ended up losing 6-5 to Mississippi State on Tuesday evening. The Cavaliers have played well with their backs against the wall in this year's postseason, posting an impressive 6-0 record in elimination games in their regional and super regional play. The winner of this game will have no time for rest, as they will play again tomorrow against Mississippi State at 6:00 PM in a win-or-go-home situation again. RHP Mike Vasil (7-5, 4.82 ERA) is expected to get the start for the Cavs and Southpaw Pete Hansen (9-1, 1.79 ERA) will get the nod for the Longhorns. WHAT: Texas Longhorns vs. Virginia Cavaliers WHEN: Thursday, June 24, 2021 TIME: 6:00 PM CST VENUE: TD Ameritrade Park LOCATION: Omaha, NE TELEVISION: ESPN2 J.B.

TB14 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Vasil has been pretty good for Virginia when he's pitched in a couple other elimination games this Tournament. Need to get to him early. Hopefully Hansen can stay as hot as he's been all year! 1 win away from being in the final 4 teams left. LFG guys! Huskie1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasil was lit up in their Regional game vs Jacksonville, where he started, went 2 frames, threw 53 pitches, gave up 7 hits and 5 earned runs. In his only other NCAA Tournament action this year, he came in for 1 inning vs DBU in the Super and threw 22 pitches, gave up 1 hit and no runs in a 6-5 loss. He hasn’t been used at all in Omaha.

There is serious hope amongst many, I assume, that he continues his recent struggles. Eastexhorn, joeywa and Coot 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He began to struggle late in the regular season. In 15.1 innings over four games in May, he gave up 13 earned runs, 17 total runs, 23 hits, 8 Ks, 9 BBs and 2 HBPs. Going out on a limb here, but it seems that he may have some control issues. Total Pitches/Strikes/ERA over those same four games: 63/40/10.13 77/45/19.29 92/54/3.00 77/48/6.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator joeywa Posted June 24, 2021 Moderator Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Yep. Also of note, I have a prior commitment at 9:30 PM Central, so my contributions will likely be small tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
java Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Joey, will they play it if they can, or will they call it by a specific time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
java Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 joey, don’t you know, you do not make committments during the CWS, or on OU weekend. It is just not done. I know your Mom raised you right, then you go off and move to Washington. You and your family need to relocate to Texas for about 6 months. We will help you out. K?

Really depends on how long it takes for the lightning to clear out. I'm guessing they'll try to get it in tonight, but if the start time runs too much past 10 PM Central, I could see them pushing it to tomorrow morning. java 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a dear friend who came in for one night here from Maine to see his son/DIL and their new baby. They are going out to dinner and asked me what time my wife and I could go. I requested 7:30 (9:30 PM Central.) Then 'Omaha' weather happened. Grrrr. java 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
