Texas, Nebraska Suffer Injuries at Catcher Position

Catchers Preston Clark of Texas and Mitch Abeita or Nebraska have both suffered injuries recently that will put them out of regional play and possibly the College World Series. 

Husker Senior Mitch Abeita hurt his leg during a collision at home plate against Kansas State at the Big 12 Conference Championship.  Abieta is out for the season and will be replaced by Sophomore Jeff Lanning.

Texas's starting catcher Preston Clark sprained his knee Tuesday while jogging.  Senior Brett Lewis will take Clark's place for the regional this weekend.  Lewis will have to be on point against UC Irvine who have stolen 129 bases in 176 attempts this season.
