Texas vs. Miami pitching matchup
Texas RHP Lebarron Johnson Jr. (7-3, 2.82 ERA) vs. Miami RHP Karson Ligdon (3-1, 4.25 ERA)
Getting the call on the mound in this game for Pierce and the Longhorns is the 6-foot-4 redshirt sophomore right-hander Lebarron Johnson Jr. Johnson is having a career year for the Longhorns so far this season, with the second-best earned run average of any Big 12 pitcher.
In his last six starts, Johnson has given the Longhorns some quality innings on the mound, only allowing more than two earned runs on one occasion. And even though he came away from his last start with a loss, Johnson was really solid in his start against the five-seed Kansas State Wildcats in the Big 12 Tournament on May 25.
Johnson gave the Longhorns six solid innings on the mound in the loss to Kansas State on May 25, allowing just two earned runs while striking out two batters.
Texas baseball vs. Miami betting odds

Texas can put itself in a position to advance to its third consecutive super regional
If Texas can notch an upset win over Miami on June 3, it will be one step closer to advancing to the supers for the third year in a row. Texas has found a lot of postseason success with Pierce as the head coach in the last half-decade or so, and it got off to a good start again this year in regionals.
The winner of Texas/Miami on the evening of June 3 will move onto the regional final on June 4. Meanwhile, the loser of Game 4 will face Louisiana in Game 5 on June 4, at 11 a.m. CT.
