Around the Bird Bath: Pat Hallmark takes UTSA to a Super Regional on an expired contract
Alamo Audible
I feel safe in saying this is the longest UTSA Baseball podcast of all time, but it's so warranted following the wild past two weeks in the program's history. The Roadrunners made their first Super Regional trip, but strange news about Pat Hallmark's contractual status with UTSA quickly overshadowed the narrative around the program. In this episode we discuss UTSA's showing in their Super Regional loss to UCLA for the first 30 minutes of the pod before diving into the drama around Hallmark's contract for the rest of the show. Let's hope this episode is very quickly outdated with a new contract...

31 runs later, the Roadrunners walked out of San Marcos with a crazy win over Texas State. The wind was blowing out and balls were flying out of the park right and left. Despite some command struggles from UTSA's pitching staff, the Roadrunners proved they were a better team by fighting back from a large deficit to sweep the season series against the Bobcats.

Alamo Audible
UTSA will look to keep the Memphis Tigers' bats cold this weekend as they welcome Memphis to the Bird Bath. The Roadrunners will be a heavy favorite on paper, which means anything less than a sweep could drastically hurt UTSA's RPI and chances at a potential at-large bid.
