How to watch Texas vs. Louisiana in the College Station Regional

The No. 3 seed Texas Longhorns and No. 2 seed Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns meet for the second time in the College Station Regional and the third time in the last two postseasons with the loser heading home and the winner advancing to face the No. 3 national seed Texas A&M Aggies at 8 p.m. Central on Sunday evening, the first of two games the winner would need to secure against the Aggies to win the regional.

On Friday, Texas used a seven-run fifth inning to blow open a close game in the convincing 12-5 win against Louisiana that included a grand slam by Longhorns shortstop Jalin Flores. Louisiana bounced back in the early game on Saturday by beating Grambling 12-5, scoring four runs in the second and four more runs in the third to take control early against the No. 4 seed in the regional, quickly eliminated.

With the Horns using right-hander Andre Duplantier in the first two games and extending right-hander Gage Boehm to 76 pitches over four innings of Saturday’s 4-2 loss to A&M in 11 innings, Pierce may not have either available for the first game on Sunday, putting some extra pressure on left-hander Ace Whitehead (4-1, 4.33 ERA), named the starter by Pierce after Saturday’s defeat.

Louisiana head coach Matt Deggs will counter with left-hander Chase Morgan, the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year after posting a 4-3 record with a 3.29 ERA by holding opponents to a .207 batting average.

So getting past the Ragin’ Cajuns once again to set up the first of two potential rematches against the Aggies is going to be a difficult chore on Sunday afternoon.
