Texas softball handles Wagner; set for matchup with Wisconsin
AUSTIN (KXAN) – Texas softball entered the NCAA Tournament ranked fourth in RPI. Their first opponent in the Austin regional was Wagner, sitting a bit lower at 274th in RPI.
The Longhorns handled business Friday afternoon, taking down the Seahawks 9-1 by run rule in five innings.
Wagner actually got on the board first and was extremely energized in their NCAA Tournament debut. The Longhorns settled down to the tie game in the bottom half of the first before taking the lead in the third and never looked back.
The first game of the day in Austin went to extra innings and pushed back the start time between the Longhorns and Seahawks. Wisconsin made it past Baylor in extra innings with a 2-1 walk-off victory.
Now, the Badgers earn a date with the Longhorns on the winner’s side of the bracket. The two will duel Saturday at noon with the winner advancing to the regional final.
Wagner and Baylor will play an elimination game Saturday after Texas and Wisconsin. The winner of the Seahawks and Bears game will face the loser of the Longhorns and Badgers battle.

Home Automation Austin Brings Personalized, Full-Service Home Automation to Homeowners in Austin
A Smart Home Partner for Every Stage of the Project
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2026 (Newswire.com)
–
Home Automation Austin, a premier smart home installation company, is helping homeowners rethink the way they live by delivering customized home automation in Austin that unites lighting, audio, video, climate and security into a single, easy-to-use system.
For more than 18 years, the company has designed and installed integrated technology systems that let clients control their homes from any networked device, whether they are across the room or across the globe. From whole-house audio and video distribution to motorized shades, energy management and home theaters, Home Automation Austin builds each system around a client’s lifestyle rather than a one-size-fits-all template. A typical installation lets homeowners dim individual lights, monitor security cameras, adjust the thermostat and stream music to outdoor speakers, all from a single app.
Demand for home automation in Austin continues to climb as new construction and remodeling projects across Central Texas increasingly include smart technology. The company works directly with homeowners, builders and designers from the earliest planning stages, holding project kickoff meetings to keep systems on time and on budget.
“Home automation in Austin has moved from a luxury to an expectation, and our clients want technology that simply works without a learning curve,” said Adam Besetzny, CEO of Home Automation Austin. “We design every system around the way a family actually lives, so controlling lights, music, climate and security feels effortless from day one.”
Unlike many providers that rely on subcontractors, Home Automation Austin employs its own technicians and designers, a distinction the company says ensures accountability and consistent quality. The firm is a certified dealer and integrator for respected brands including Control4, Crestron, Lutron, Savant, Sonos and Sonance, and it backs its work with what it calls the best warranty in the industry.
The company also emphasizes long-term support, a point of difference in an industry where service often ends once installation is complete. Home Automation Austin offers 24/7 service and support plans, keeping clients connected long after the final device is mounted.
“Most companies disappear the moment the job is finished, but that is when the relationship should really begin,” Besetzny said. “We stay involved, we answer the phone and we make sure the technology keeps performing for years, not just on installation day.”
Home Automation Austin serves Austin and surrounding communities, including Georgetown, Leander, Lakeway, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Dripping Springs and San Marcos. The company is fully licensed and insured and holds a Google five-star rating along with multiple industry credentials.
