The Horns host a Tuesday night match up with the Bearkats at the Disch today. Here is preview from texassports of tonight's game and tomorrows with UTSA: No. 22 Baseball preview: Sam Houston State and UTSA - University of Texas Athletics
Texas may have only scored in two innings tonight but they scored 10 runs so it is hard to not come away from tonight feeling good about where Texas is at early in the year and to feel good about a quality midweek win over a likely tourny team in SHSU. They flashed stat tonight on LHN that Texas is now 19-0 at home in midweek games under Pierce, that was something that had really fallen off late in the Augie years and it is impressive how his focus on Tuesday and Sunday has been so successful.
Game reviews from Texassports and BON: No. 22 Baseball rides six-run inning to 10-3 win over Sam Houston - University of Texas Athletics No. 22 Texas baseball bludgeons Sam Houston State for 10-3 victory
At the end of the game, they said that UT now has more extra-base hits than they have singles. Power, baby!
I'll take number of runs scored over any other stat. As an example my daughters softball team scored in 4 of the first five innings building a 10-0 lead last night, however their opponent scored 15 runs in the bottom of the 5th and 6th while we scored 2 in the 6th. We scored in 5 of 7 innings losing while the other team only scored in 2 of 6 (they we're the home team). All that matters is scoring enough to win. Yeah, she was pretty devastated being two outs away from a run rule when the pitcher fell apart not having anyone to bring in as relief. Sure theoretically the more in innings scored in usually means more runs, but some teams have a knack for going on a run when it counts.
