Austin, TX
Live updates from Texas baseball series finale against UC Davis
The Longhorns have ridden two strong starting pitching performances from Ruger Riojas and Luke Harrison to a pair of victories over the Aggies. Now, they’ll turn the ball over to last year’s SEC Freshman of the Year, Dylan Volantis, who is making the move to the starting rotation after excelling in relief last season.
Texas’ lineup has shown well through two games, too, with 18 runs against UC Davis pitching. Second baseman Ethan Mendoza has been the standout performer so far, ending Friday night’s game with a three-run home run that triggered the mercy rule before smashing a two-run shot Saturday.
Follow along with our live coverage of Sunday’s game, below:
Dylan Volantis completed his fourth consecutive hitless inning, working around his own error with a strikeout and a ground-ball double play.
The Longhorns sent 11 men to the plate for a six-run explosion in the third. Adrian Rodriguez delivered the biggest blow with a three-run double, while Aiden Robbins, Ashton Larson and Casey Borba each also drove in a run.
On the mound, Dylan Volantis faced the minimum through three innings with a pair of strikeouts.
Ethan Mendoza gave the Longhorns the early lead with a sacrifice fly to center field. Just like in the first inning, though, Texas loaded the bases and could not come through with the key hit.
Dylan Volantis needed just six pitches to retire the side in the top half of the inning. In the bottom of the frame, Texas loaded the bases on Ethan Mendoza’s single and a pair of walks, but could not cash in.
