Texas Takes on UTPA @ 6:05

[UPDATE: Texas committed 2 errors, had only 4 hits and struck out 13 times, yet the Horns won 3-2 behind strong relief pitching and a solo homer from Cameron Rupp. Stayton Thomas gets the win with 1 inning of relief and Chance Ruffin gets the save with 2 scoreless innings. Next stop: Houston]

Freshman Hoby Milner takes the mound for the first time as a Longhorn. Milner was a 44th round pick of the soon to be NL East champion Washington Nationals. Kyle Kotchie, a transfer from Lake-Sumter Community College, will take the mound for UTPA. This appears to be a true early season midweek game for both teams so hopefully some of the youngsters will see some playing time.
