"I have no idea (what happened)," Texas first baseman Brandon Belt said of his team's anemic offense. "I kept getting the same pitch over and over again and I couldn't hit it. I'm confident in my abilities, and I'm confident in my team's ability. So I think coming back tomorrow that I'll be OK. We've got to be able to reset and not think about today."
The Daily Texan had an excellent story on Belt leading up to the super-regional:
In the middle of his dominant senior season as the ace of Hudson High School, a small school in East Texas, something changed for Belt. His velocity dropped below 90 mph. As his fastball’s speed dipped so did his draft status.
“I had a chance to do really good, and go really high, but my velocity wasn’t as high as it once was, and I kind of slipped,” Belt said.
