College baseball player forms sweet bond with coach’s daughters
While playing for Coach Frank Avilla Jr., Brady Crabtree formed a special, sibling-like bond with his daughters – a connection that continued well after graduation.
The road to Omaha is here, and the first games of the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball championship are set for Friday, May 30. Texas will serve as the No. 2 overall seed and face Houston Christian in Game 1 of the Austin regional, which is one of 16 sites around the country to begin this year’s tournament.
This is the 38th time Texas (42-12) has hosted an NCAA baseball regional, but the first instance since 2022 and its first appearance under coach Jim Schlossnagle. The Longhorns are looking to bounce back from an up-and-down close to the regular season and an early exit in the SEC tournament. Houston Christian (32-23), formerly known as Houston Baptist, is making its second NCAA tournament appearance in program history. The Huskies improved by 14 wins in coach Clay VanderLaan’s first season and won the Southland Conference tournament as the No. 6 seed.
Kansas State and UTSA will also be playing at UFCU Disch-Falk Field as part of the Austin regional, with one team advancing from the double elimination format to next week’s super regionals. The College World Series, featuring the final eight teams in the bracket, begins on June 13.
