The Texas Longhorns blasted five home runs en route to another blowout win in the Austin Regional of the NCAA Postseason Baseball Tournament. UT crushed Tarleton State, 16-2.
Couple with Friday’s game against Holy Cross, the Longhorns have outscored their opponents in the regional 35-3. With the win, Texas advances to the Regional Final and need just one more win to reach the Super Regionals.
Texas blew the game open in a five run second inning when Aidan Robbins, Carson Tinney and Anthony Pack Jr. homered back-to-back-to-back. Pack, the SEC Freshman of the Year hit his fourth homer in Austin Regional. The freshman phenom hit three home runs Friday against Holy Cross, a feat never accomplished by a Longhorn in the postseason despite the programs success.
Texas ace Dylan Volantis pitched will, going six and two thirds innings giving up one run, three hits and he struck out seven.
The Texans will take on UC Santa Barbara at 11 a.m. CT at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The winner of that game will face Texas on Sunday evening at 5 p.m. CT. If Texas wins that game, they advance to the Super Regional. If UT loses Sunday night, then there will be a winner take all game on Monday.
