William Knox — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:02:08 +0000

It has been a frustrating few weeks for Texas Tech (8-7). After starting the year with five straight wins, the Red Raiders dropped seven of their last ten games heading into today’s contest, seeing their team ERA sky rocket to 6.61 and their team batting average fall to .311. The woes have not been [...]

Bryan Young — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:15:08 +0000

Tempe, AZ – A cross valley rivalry was refreshed after a seven year hiatus on a damp, cool and blustery Tuesday night. Winds gusted to 35 mph as Grand Canyon and Arizona State took to the field, but by the end of the game great pitching had even calmed the weather and the flags [...]

The Houston College Classic has come and gone for yet another year. Last weekend’s event featured a trio of ranked teams, and three teams that were looking to make a statement in 2010.

William Knox — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 06:00:44 +0000

The first day of the Houston College Classic is in the books, and what a day it ended up being. The first two games, mere opening acts for the night’s finale, set the pace for the day, but couldn’t match up to the game most people anticipated.

Mark Rafferty — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:05:59 +0000

CBB Visit: #8 Texas 6 #17 Stanford 3 (Feb. 27)

William Knox — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:40:40 +0000

Stanford should feel cheated. Not cheated by today’s game or any game in Austin, but cheated by their opening weekend opponent.

After crushing the Rice Owls for 27 runs and 34 hits in three games at The Sunken Diamond, the Cardinal have only mustered three runs on 13 hits against the pitching-strong Texas Longhorns, dropping the [...]

UCLA’s Gerrit Cole squared off against Vanderbilt’s Sonny Gray, who were both members of Team USA over the summer.

Gerrit Cole was [...]

CBB Visit: #8 Texas 6 #17 Stanford 0

William Knox — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:31:58 +0000

It wasn’t a renewal of the rivalry for Texas and Stanford, but rather a renewal of the importance of the series between two legendary programs in college baseball. Matching up a pair of outstanding teams, as well as sophomore starting pitchers, the opening game was expected to be a low-scoring affair.

Texas starting pitcher Taylor Jungmann [...]

CBB Visit: #8 Texas 7 Dallas Baptist 2 (Feb. 24)

William Knox — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:43:58 +0000
