It may be snowing in New York, but it feels like spring here in Texas. And as any sports fan around will tell you, spring in Austin means only one thing: Longhorns baseball.
After kicking off the season with a series win over the weekend, the Longhorns will look to pick up their third victory of the year Tuesday against the UT Arlington Mavericks.
Parker French tosses seven shutout innings in Texas' season opener, but an eighth-inning scare nearly costs the Longhorns the game before Ty Marlow cleans things up and gets the last two outs.
This Friday, the Longhorns will finally get their first glimpse of freshman C.J. Hinojosa, the No. 3 shortstop recruit in the nation, according to Perfect Game.
With opening day three days away, the Longhorns hope to put aside last year's disappointment. Players expected to take the field this Friday include Jacob Felts, Alex Silver, Brooks Marlow, CJ Hinjosa, Erich Weiss, Taylor Stell, Weston Hall, Mark Payton, and Parker French.
