Escape Artist
In an almost identical inning to the third inning, the Ducks got two runners on base with one out and Dylan Volantis struck out Jax Gimenez and got Angel Laya to ground out to end the inning. As good as Volantis has been, his pitch count is high for a warm evening in Austin.
Becerra gets picked off, earful
After getting hit by a Cal Scolari pitch, Temo Becerra got picked off first. He was originally called safe, but after an Oregon challenge, he was called out. When he got back into the dugout, he heard it from Longhorns coach Jim Schlossnagle.
Volantis works out of trouble
Texas starter Dylan Volantis’ control left him to start the third inning and loaded the bases. But after a meeting at the mound, the big lefty got a strikeout of Braden Jaksa and a ground out from Burke-Lee Mabeus to hold onto the shutout.
Speed leads to UT run
Speedy center fielder Quick Dariyan Pendergrass turned a walk into a run with steals of both second and third. He then scored on a sacrifice fly by Aiden Robbins.
Borba Bomb
With one out in the bottom of the second inning, Texas third baseman Casey Borba blasted a home run to right center field.
Ducks run into an out
After a double down the right field line by Naulivou Lauaki, Maddox Molony hit a shot to Texas pitcher Dylan Volantis who turned and got Lauaki in no-man’s land between second and third and was out after a rundown.
Rodriguez to the Wall
With two on and two out, Texas shortstop Adrian Rodriguez shot a double through the left field gap that went all the way to the wall. The Ducks were playing the outfield very shallow on the infielder. Both runs scored to give Texas an early first inning lead.
Ducks on the Pond
Texas ace Dylan Volantis got into a bit of a jam in the first. The Ducks got runners at the corners but couldn’t cash in against the UT pitcher.
