• The Longhorns pitchers are holding right-handed hitters to a .147 batting average (49-of-349). Leading the way are Taylor Jungmann (.083 - 3-of-36), Cole Green (.096 - 5-of-52) and Brandon Workman (.105 - 6-of-57) who have combined to allow opponents to hit just 14-of-145 (.097) on the season.
• The Longhorns have yielded just 22 earned runs in 16 games in 2009 and have yet to allow more than three earned runs in a game.
