AUSTIN, Texas — After catching Cal State Fullerton and Baylor on Friday, it was time to make the short hour drive up Interstate 35 for the doubleheader between Hawaii and Texas.

The first matchup of the day pitted Hawaii talented junior left-handed pitcher Scott Squier against Texas lefty Dillon Peters, who was terrific last weekend at the Houston College Classic. On this day, though, Squier had the better performance in a 6-1 Hawaii win, while the second game was postponed with a 2-2 score in the eighth inning.

Squier was a rather interesting pitcher to watch. He’s got a skinny frame at 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, but he was an effective, though not overwhelming, prospect. Squier worked very fast, had a consistent delivery and command, and did a nice job of hiding the ball, not taking it out of his glove until the last possible moment.

Stuff-wise, Squier showed last summer he had the ability to get up to 92 and 93, but on a day that included mid-40s temperatures, along with a steady mist/rain, his fastball topped out at 90 and had some sink to it. Squier also flashed a mid-80s slider, low-80s changeup and a soft 71-72 curveball.

He finished the afternoon with two strikeouts, four walks, while allowing a run on two hits in seven innings. Meanwhile, Peters had a very uncharacteristic performance, allowing six runs on seven hits in five innings. Peters’ command was iffy at best while he topped out at 91 with his fastball.

Offensively, Hawaii had an aggressive lineup with some good approaches, making Sunday’s finale a rather intriguing game to follow.

TEAM OF THE DAY

Houston

The Cougars have shown a lot of potential so far this season, so it probably shouldn’t come as a huge surprise they’re 2-0 in the Dodgertown Classic after capturing a 4-3 win over UCLA. UH right-handed pitcher Jake Lemoine struck out four, walked one and allowed three runs on 10 hits in seven innings, while reliever Chase Wellbrock was terrific, striking out two in a pair of shutout frames … Offensively, Justin Montemayor and Caleb Barker each had two hits and an RBI.

PLAYER OF THE DAY

Jace Fry, lhp, Oregon State

Oregon State swept a doubleheader from Northern Illinois with Fry leading the charge. He struck out 10 and walked two in a no-hitter and complete game performance in the first game of the day. Fry threw 97 pitches in the game, 66 for strikes in the victory over the Huskies. The triumph with Fry on the mound wound up being the quickest game in Goss Stadium history.

UPSET OF THE DAY

Maryland over Florida State

The Terps have been very pleased with freshman right-handed pitcher Mike Shawaryn the past couple of weeks, and it’s easy to see why after he silenced Florida State on the way to a 5-1 triumph. The New Jersey native struck out five, walked three and allowed just a run on five hits in 7 1/3 innings, while also throwing 98 pitches, 65 for strikes. Shawaryn’s clutch performances sets up what ought to be a dandy of a series finale Sunday afternoon.
