Texas baseball will send Dylan Volantis to the mound as it looks to score yet another perfect weekend.
The sophomore lefthander will take the ball against USC Upstate having allowed one earned run this season over the course of 18⅔ innings. He's collected 25 strikeouts and given up just eight hits and five walks.

He's also the only Texas arm to pitch into the seventh inning this season. And his team could use some length. For the first time this year, the Longhorns (14-0) find their bullpen a bit stretched. They used nine different pitchers as they scrambled to secure Saturday night's 11-9 victory over the Spartans (7-9). Four of those came in the ninth inning, when USC Upstate came an extra-base hit shy of erasing an eight-run deficit.

The Spartans will send rigthy Max Bianchini to the mound to oppose Volantis. He was effective enough to earn an All-Big South honorable mention last season as a reliever, but has found the transition into the rotation tricky. He holds a 7.42 ERA through three starts against South Alabama, NJIT and Georgia Southern.
