Over the last few years, Falcon baseball coach Mike Kazlausky has made a concerted effort at scheduling top college baseball teams to test his team against the best. This year, the marquee name on the schedule was the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns have won six NCAA baseball titles, and finished last year ranked number 3 in both polls, and currently are ranked No 10.
Two weeks ago, the Falcons traveled to Austin having lost three straight games to conference foe Nevada. The season was far from being a disappointment, but it seemed as though the pitching and batting were out of sync, and after ace Paul Skenes, the starting pitching was an adventure.
