In case you missed it, take a look at the weekend recap here - Rounding the Bases
In addition, here is the link to the latest Around the Horns episode with Coach Schlossnagle - Around the Horns
MID WEEK PREVIEW
- Opponent: Texas A&M Corpus Christi (6-6, 0-0 Southland)
- Date: Tues March 4th
- Time: 630pm
- Where: Disch-Falk Field
- TV: SEC Network+
History:
- First Met: 2001
- All-Time Record: 25-6 (19-5 at Disch-Falk)
- Last Meeting: 2024 – Horns lost 1-4 in Austin as Texas gave up an early 3 run HR and struggled to get anything going offensively snapping a 5 game winning streak by the Horns
- TAMU-CC is picked to finish 9th in the Southland Conference
- The Islanders swept Prairie View A&M this past weekend, beating up on a poor squad
The Islanders have played a very tough schedule in reference to a team of their standing. Not a good hitting team. Lack of power throughout the lineup with only 4 HRs and 56 RBI on the season. This is a team that likes to run when it gets on base to put pressure on opposing staffs. 17 errors on the season suggests that the defense is a major question mark as well.
Pitching Matchups:
- Texas RHP Jason Flores (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.33 WHIP, 3 IP) v. TAMU-CC RHP Easten Smith (0-0, 3.00 ERA, 6 IP)

- David Dean (4 apps, 1-0, 1.04 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 8.2 IP)
Offensive Leaders:
- Karson Krowka (.435 BA, 1.161 OPS, .609 SLG%, .552 OB%, 2-2 SB)

- Austin Russell (.333 BA, 1.045 OPS, 1 HR, .556 SLG%, .489 OB%, 1-1 SB)
Prediction
- Texas wins
- I suffered my first “loss” of the season as I predicted that Texas would go 2-1 this past weekend, but they went a perfect 3-0. I can live with that! On the season I am 9-1 overall
