During this time Texas would play multiple double headers starting like on the Thursday before Spring Break and play every day till the end of Spring Break. Gus would use anybody he could find as a starting pitcher. He brought goys over from the basketball team that pitched in high school. Anybody on the team that pitched in high would get a starting role too. It was a lot of baseball in a short amount of time, but for many of us it was a lot of fun too. It made for some long games with many being high scoring, with the type of pitching used. Texas usually won all those games against teams like Emporia State. Southwestern, and even Schreiner. That Scheiner game took forever. Lamar's pitching staff looked like control artists compared to Schreiner. The Mountaineer pitchers walked 23 Longhorn batters in that game which I am sure is still the record for Texas opponents.
Starting pitchers for Texas at the time were littered with future MLB starters. Calvin was the ace, then Mike Capel. Others were Wade Phillips, Erich Boudreaux, Bruce Ruffin, and an emerging star named Roger Clemens. Complete games were more common then. Texas did have a very good closer that came out of the outfield and was a good hitter too. That was Kirk Killingsworth.
Good times that are long gone but not forgotten.
