RICE HOSTS TEXAS TONIGHT AT RECKLING

Game sold out; Biggest Game in Houston College Baseball This Year

By Mark Anderson

The Texas Longhorns with a record of 31-10, and ranked #4 in the country, come to Reckling Park tonight to take on the Rice Owls, ranked #6 in the country, with a 29-11 record.

If you’re looking for tickets you had better have a friend give you one. It is completely sold out. If you have no ticket, then you can watch it tonight on CSTV.

Taking the hill for Rice tonight will be junior Chris Kelly (1-2, 4.04 ERA). He will be opposed by Austin Wood (4-0, 3.88 ERA).

Kelly can only hope for a reversal of fortune tonight. He had a lack of run support early in the season, and cannot afford a lack of it tonight. Kelly has pitched well overall, but did not receive a decision until the 10-3 loss at Cal-Fullerton on March 2. Here’s hoping that the hot bats the Owls have been swinging lately stay hot tonight and brand some Longhorns. He's had experience facing top teams, as he started for Rice in the Minute Maid Classic against Vanderbilt.

The blog will be there tonight with a recap of the game, as well as many pictures to share with you. Look for them late this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest.
