Texas #44: Austin W-0000000000000-D

NOT KERRY, NOT BRANDON, BUT AUSTIN WOOD. On Saturday of last week, Texas beat Boston College 3-2 in a marathon 25 innings, the longest in NCAA history. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, Texas Longhorn relief pitcher Austin Wood threw 12 innings of no-hit ball and 13 shutout innings. Think about that. Wood threw a total of 169 pitches, which amounts to 13 pitches an inning, very efficient and perhaps the reason why he was left out there for so long. Wood is no Steven Strasburg, but on that particular night, Wood pitched the game of his life.
