TEXAS TERRITORY
• Corey Knebel appears to have grasped the role of closer for the Longhorns. After getting saddled with the loss in UT’s 14-inning, 5-4 loss to Hawaii, Knebel has rebounded to post a 2-0 record with seven saves in the next 12 appearances. In the last 12 appearances, the northpaw has registered 23.1 scoreless innings, scattering eight hits and four walks while striking out 27 batters. Over that span he is limiting opposing hitters to a .107 batting average.
• Texas pitchers are bearing down against left-handed hitters holding them to a .196 (64-for-312) batting average on the season and just nine extra-base hits. Taylor Jungmann has held lefties to a .127 batting average (10-for-79) while Corey Knebel and Cole Green have them hitting just .140 (6-for-43) and .215 (14-for-65), respectively.
• Tant Shepherd, Brandon Loy and Paul Montalbano are all hitting .400 over the last five games. Shepherd is batting .571 (12-for-21) with four runs, five doubles and five RBI. Loy is hitting .471 (8-for-17) with five walks, four runs and two RBI. Montalbano is hitting .417 (5-for-12) with three runs and one RBI. Lucas Kephart is hitting .333 (5-for-15) with six walks, four runs, one double and a team-high eight RBI. Jordan Etier is hitting .333 (6-for-18) with three runs, two doubles, one triple and four RBI over the span.
