I am Blessed to announce that I will be continuing my education and playing baseball for the University of Texas San Antonio. I would like to thank God, my family,teammates and my coach’s for helping me along the way. Thank you @TheOriginalCT for believing in me.

In case you needed further proof of Pat Hallmark's importance to this program, listen to what Conor Myles had to say about his head coach:
"He's the best coach I've ever had. It's not even close. The way he thinks about the game is so different from everyone else, and that's what separates him from a lot of other programs.
"We may not have the money other schools do. We can't get the top prospects that other schools have, but Hallmark can turn anyone into a great ballplayer.
All he needs is us to buy in, and once we do, it's tough for anyone to play us."
Sam Simmons on being tabbed this season's "stopper":
"It's a blessing to be put in this position. It means a lot to me. It's something that I care about, but as a competitor, it's something that I want. I want that ball in my hand.
"Watching Rob [Orloski] last year, I had a great teacher. I learned a lot from Rob. He was put in positions where I kind of just watched him go to work. Even though he's younger than me, learning from a guy like that taught me a lot."
NOTABLE: Drew Detelsfen and Josh Arquette combined for five RBIs as @UTSABSB picked up an impressive 12-8 win over Dallas Baptist. Sam Simmons had 4.2 stellar innings out of the bullpen.
