AUSTIN, Texas – The pitching mastermind who is Mike White was up to his old tricks on Friday, when three of his pitchers combined to toss 14 consecutive scoreless innings as Texas beat RV/RV Louisiana, 5-0, and Colorado State, 7-0, on the opening day of the Lone Star State Invitational.
It's the first time this season — and first time since blanking Abilene Christian (8-0) and Texas Southern (22-0) on Saturday, Feb. 25 and Sunday, Feb. 26, respectively — that the Texas Longhorn pitching staff has tossed shutouts in back-to-back contests. As a result of Friday's productivity in the circle, UT's team earned run average (ERA) has dropped to 0.
