ROUND ROCK, Texas - Former University of Texas quarterback and star pitcher James Street will appear at Dell Diamond Thursday, August 15 to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the 7:05 p.m. start of the series finale between the Express and Rainiers.

Street played quarterback for the Texas Longhorns from 1966-1969, posting an undefeated record (20-0) as a starter from 1968 to the end of the 1969 season. He engineered the "wishbone" offense and led Texas to the 1969 National Championship, defeating Arkansas 15-14 in what became known as "The Big Shootout."

As a starting pitcher for the Longhorns, Street tossed two no-hitters and led Texas to two Southwest Conference titles. In 2000, he was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and is the father of former Longhorn All-American, National Champion, College World Series saves record holder and 2010 NCAA College World Series Legends Team member, Huston Street.
