Texas Baseball

Well, I'll be covering Texas baseball during the postseason. While I can't root anyone on, it sure would be nice to go to my first College World Series in Omaha.
There will be a press conference tomorrow at Dell Diamond in Round Rock where Texas is hosting a regional.
The No. 2 seed is UC Irvine. Wake Forest is No. 3, and Brown, Texas' first opponent is No. 4.
They've never played Brown or UC Irvine, and Wake twice, in 1949.
It looks like the players have already done some scouting though, and pitcher Austin Wood had this to offer on the competition:

UC Irvine has real good pitching and they play in one of the best leagues in the country, so we know they are a quality team. Wake Forest comes from a solid conference and they have talent all over the field, as well. Brown is a conference champion, you know they can't be taken lightly. They are a good hitting team, so our pitching staff is going to have to come prepared to throw strikes.

Last year, the team couldn't get out of the regional, so the trip to Omaha, which fans have come to expect, didn't happen. This year, the team is determined not to go down so feebly, and their 44-15 record is an improvement that suggests they'll be tougher to beat this time around. Infielder Bradley Suttle thinks the team is in a better position to advance this year than they were a year ago.
"I think the team is more experienced as a whole this year," he said. "We had a lot of young guys playing last year like Kyle (Russell) and myself who benefited from this past year. I think the team is more confident this year. We are playing better now at this point than we were last year."
