The No. 1 Texas Longhorns welcome the Alabama Crimson Tide to Austin for what should be a chilly weekend the Disch. The last time these teams has faced off was in the 1983 College World Series when Douglas Hodo’s father was on the team.
Both teams enter this series a perfect 5-0 on the short season.
Texas swept Rice in convincing fashion on the first weekend series of the year and took two road mid-week games over Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
Alabama has looked the part yet again after making the NCAA tournament a season ago. The Tide took down Xavier in three straight games on the weekend and followed that up with two mid-week wins of their own.
Texas has outscored their opponents 53-7 on the season and will look to continue that dominance against future SEC foe Alabama.
Here is a look at the probable pitching matchups for the weekend:
Friday: LHP Pete Hansen (1-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Garrett McMillan (0-0, 6.00)
Saturday: RHP Tristan Stevens (1-0, 0.00) vs. LHP Antoine Jean (0-0, 4.50)
Sunday: RHP Tanner Witt (1-0, 1.80) vs. LHP Grayson Hitt (1-0, 0.00)
