Texas Baseball will open Regional play on Friday against the OSU Beavers. Even though the season didn’t live up to pre-season expectations, the Longhorn pitching staff really stepped it up and blew through the Big 12 Tournament, due in large part to the leadership from senior Parker French.
When the Longhorns arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the Big 12 tournament, they had to win the Big 12 tournament. If not, Texas would not play in the NCAA tournament. The ball would go to the team’s ace to open the proceedings, which meant French could have made his last start in a Longhorn uniform against Baylor.
