Stephen F. Austin wins if...
Their pitching somehow slows down this potent Texas lineup. The Longhorns feature one of the best lineups in the Big 12, led by Ivan Melendez and Murphy Stehly. While Melendez has been in a slump recently, if the Lumberjack pitching staff isn't careful he could use this game to get back on track. However, if they somehow manage to slow down the Longhorn offense, they could make this game interesting.
Texas wins if...
Andre Duplantier II produces a solid enough start to let the offense do their thing. This Texas offense can put up runs in bunches, which has never been in question this season. The main area of concern has been a shaky bullpen and inconsistency from their Tuesday starters, such as Duplantier. If Duplantier can produce five or six solid innings, that should be more than enough to come away from this one with the win.
