Texas vs. LSU preview
According to the game notes from Texassports.com, the powerful redshirt sophomore right-hander Lebarron Johnson Jr. will get the start for the Longhorns. This is the second week in a row that Johnson will get the call on the mound for Pierce and the Longhorns in the midweek game.
Last week, Johnson picked up his first win of the season in his first start against the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders on Feb. 21. Johnson gave the Longhorns five quality innings on the mound, giving up just one earned run and three hits while striking out eight.
LSU will give the start to sophomore right-hander Thatcher Hurd. This will be Hurd’s second start of the season. His first came in a win over Southern on Feb. 21.
While LSU did pick up the win over Southern in Hurd’s first and only start of the season thus far, he didn’t have a very impressive showing. Hurd gave up four earned runs, six hits, and three walks, in just two innings of work on the mound.
Texas will need to jump on Hurd and the Tigers early to be able to overcome this powerful LSU lineup on Feb. 28. LSU ranks in the top 25 in the country in runs per game (9.9) and on-base percentage (.443).
