since Feb. 15 count, tallying a career-high three hits on a 3-for-5 day with a career-high three RBI and his first extra base hit, an RBI triple in the second inning. Weaver also made his impact felt in the field, making two outstanding plays in the field

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">What’s funny is you want them to save them for tomorrow as well. But I tell you what, King came in and was throwing
hard with good stuff, and watching our guys take some really good swings I just sat back and said ‘Hey just keep doing what you’re doing.” I’m really happy with the performance they had today. TCU is a really good ballclub, and having Jimmy hold them down
the way he did and having our offense really put good swings on good pitches, I’m just really happy watching them go about that. At that point, I just stepped back and let them do their thing.”</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
