Texas vs. UTSA baseball live score: Updates, highlights from NCAA regional
College baseball player forms sweet bond with coach’s daughters
While playing for Coach Frank Avilla Jr., Brady Crabtree formed a special, sibling-like bond with his daughters – a connection that continued well after graduation.
No. 2 seed Texas will look to avoid a stunningly early elimination in the NCAA baseball tournament when it takes on UTSA at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in the Austin Regional on Sunday night.
The game’s a rematch of the Longhorns’ 9-7 loss Saturday to their in-state rivals, which sent Texas to the loser’s bracket for a pair of games Sunday. The Longhorms eliminated Kansas State 15-8 in the afternoon and takes the field just a short time later to keep their season alive. The Roadrunners, meanwhile had the afternoon off.
It’s the third meeting between the programs this season, with the Roadrunners winning the previous two. If the Texas can pull out the win Sunday night, the two teams would square off again Monday, with the winner advancing to the super regional round.

Texas’ Pack, Cozart earn national honors after standout freshmen seasons
AUSTIN (KXAN) — After missing out of the Men’s College World Series last season, Texas is back in Omaha competing for the coveted national title with seven other opponents. While there’s been many contributing factors to the team’s resurgence this year, two of the Longhorns freshmen additions have stood out from the rest.
Relief pitcher Sam Cozart and outfielder Anthony Pack Jr. have been revelations for Texas, and this week they were recognized for their key contributions to a national championship contender.
Pack was announced as Baseball America’s National Freshman of the Year, becoming the fifth Longhorn to win the honor. Pack has been a mainstay for Texas at the top of the order, slashing .359/.485/.597 for the season with 74 hits, 58 runs and 20 steals as well (all top-four among Power Four freshmen).
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound outfielder from Lakewood, California also received the SEC Freshman of the Year award last month, and was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Freshman All-American earlier this week.
On the other hand, Cozart was named as the NCBWA National Freshman Pitcher of the Year, becoming the third Texas pitcher to win the honor. Cozart had to earn his way to the team’s closing role, but once he did, he was never giving it back.
The 6-foot-6, 260-pound stalwart led Division I pitchers in WHIP (0.69) and batting average (.132), while also ranking second in ERA (1.64). In his 22 appearances, Cozart has recorded 71 strikeouts, only 12 walks and nine saves, including the one on Sunday against Oregon which sent the Longhorns to the MCWS.
Texas has plenty of talent elsewhere, but it’s hard to imagine a scenario where it makes it to Omaha without the help of its two freshmen stars.

Olympian Tony Azevedo urges Austin ISD to keep water polo
AUSTIN, Texas — A five-time Olympian is speaking out against Austin ISD’s proposal to eliminate its water polo program.
Tony Azevedo, a silver medalist and CEO of 68 Sports, said Texas has become the fastest-growing state for water polo and is on the verge of producing its first Olympic-level players from the region.
“For the first time, you have 30 to 40 players playing Division I,II, III college water polo across the board,” Azevedo said. “And for the first time, you have multiple players on national teams, where probably in this or maybe the next Olympics, you will have your first Texas Olympic water polo player.”
Austin ISD is weighing whether to cut its water polo program as part of a broader effort to close a $181 million budget deficit. The proposal, which would save $89,000, is set for a final board vote June 18. Students and parents have pushed back, arguing the district is unfairly targeting the sport.

Azevedo said eliminating the program would effectively bar athletes from ever competing at higher levels, arguing water polo cannot simply be picked up outside of an organized team setting the way other sports can.
“If you take water polo from these athletes, every single athlete you’re taking the sport away from doesn’t have a chance to succeed in our sport,” he said. “And that’s the bottom line.”
He also raised concerns about equity, warning that eliminating the high school program would leave club sports as the only option.
“Only the rich can play this sport,” Azevedo said of a club-only model. “Only the ones who have the money to go and pay for the club to travel.”
Azevedo said the sport carries benefits that extend beyond athletics, including water safety and mental health. He argued cutting it sends the wrong message to young athletes whose sports don’t generate revenue.
“Our kids should all be given the opportunity and equality to play whatever sport they want,” he said.
He urged parents across Texas to speak up before the board’s vote.
“Talk about how important the sport is to you and why it’s important to your kids,” Azevedo said.
The Austin ISD Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote on the budget proposal June 18.
