Here’s how Inside Texas broke down Cozart’s performance:

“Cozart’s first appearance on the weekend was on Friday, relieving Dylan Volantis on the mound. Cozart entered the game in the 7th inning, facing 10 Alabama batters as part of his fifth save on the season. Of the 10 batters faced, Cozart retired nine of them. Five were retired via strike out and only one batter reached base. His 3.0 innings pitched were dominant, he did not allow a single hit. He entered the Saturday game in the 9th inning, closing out what would be the series clinching 3-1 victory. His final strikeout was the 19th of the game, tying a program record for strikeouts in a nine inning game. Of 13 batters faced on the weekend only one became baserunner and that was from a walk. Cozart struck out eight hitters across 4.0 hitless innings, notching a couple of saves as a result.”
