How studly is Austin Wood?

Well, let me tell you.

Per the Austin American Statesman on UT’s 3-2 25 INNING victory the regional over Boston College this weekend:

He [Wood] has never thrown a complete game [he’s a reliever] but logged 13 mind-boggling innings and rendered the Boston College bats silent for 12 1/3 frames. He threw 169 pitches, not the healthiest thing for a 22-year-old arm, but that piece of jelly attached to his left shoulder gave Texas a huge advantage in this regional.

Holy Smokes! 37 batters without a hit. He faced 46 batters and gave up 2, count 'em, 2 hits.

Holy cow. You'll have to report on his next outing because I'm interested in hearing how his arm recovers.
