Postgame Notes

March 22, 2008 | Baseball

The series win by Texas marks the second-straight by the Longhorns as they swept all three games in Austin last year. Texas now leads the all-time series 95-33.
Chad Bettis suffered his first loss of the season despite pitching 5 2/3 innings of shutout baseball. The freshman from Lubbock allowed all four runs in the first inning and ended up with five walks and two strikeouts.
The Tech bullpen came up big again for the Red Raiders as the Longhorns had a runner on third with less than two outs twice late in the ball game and relievers Owen Brolsma, Robbie Kilcrease and Lorenzo Douglas squashed those rallies.
Sophomore shortstop Chris Hall had his 11-game hit streak come to an end today as he went 0-for-4. Wilie Rueda extended his current hit streak to 10 games with an RBI single in the second.
