How to Watch: No. 11 Arkansas vs. No. 1 Texas (Game 3)
The No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks (38-9, 15-7 SEC) won the series over the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-7, 19-4 SEC) on Friday night and will go for the series sweep on Saturday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.
In the last two games, the Razorbacks have outscored the Longhorns 15-1. They blanked Texas 9-0 on Thursday and won 6-1 on Friday night.
The Hogs handed the Longhorns their first series loss of the season and did so with dominant pitching. Arkansas’ pitching staff struck out 14 Texas batters on Thursday night and 15 on Friday night.
“I mean, the difference in the ballgame was really pitching,” Van Horn said after the win Friday. “I think we walked them twice and struck them out 15 times. I think they walked us nine times, struck us out five. I think they hit us five times.”
The trio of Gage Wood, Gabe Gaeckle and Aidan Jimenez were solid all night long for the Hogs. Texas only amassed five hits and its only run came on a solo home run in the fourth inning.
“Obviously, we had a chance to win the game and you’re playing a team that’s ranked No. 1 in the country,” Van Horn said. “They don’t lose very many games. They’re explosive. They can come back. We just felt like those are the guys we needed to go with. We had a chance to win it, let’s win it.”
Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn was coy Friday night when asked who would take the mound to start Saturday’s game. Prior to the series, neither Arkansas nor Texas announced a starter for the series finale, and Van Horn said it would be either “a right-hander or a left-hander.”

Brazoria County deputy shoots, kills Texas State University student after car chase, report says
BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas – A Texas State University student was shot and killed by a Brazoria County Sheriff’s deputy early Monday morning after an attempted traffic stop in Lake Jackson.
The news was first reported by The University Star, Texas State’s student-run newspaper.
In a Tuesday statement to KSAT, the university identified the student as John Gabriel Mendoza Jr., 18. He was a freshman who studied management, according to the school.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, classmates, and all those affected by this tragedy,” the university said in its statement.
Deputies attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle just after midnight Monday near Farm-to-Market 2004 and This Way Street in Lake Jackson, the sheriff’s office said.
The driver of the vehicle, who was identified as Mendoza by The University Star, did not stop, deputies said. The deputies then chased after the vehicle for approximately a mile into a neighborhood located in the 100 block of Indian Warrior Trail.
According to the sheriff’s office, the driver went inside a home’s garage and parked before a deputy approached the vehicle, the release said.
The deputy then pulled out his firearm and shot into the vehicle. The sheriff’s office said the gunfire struck the driver.
The University Star reported that Mendoza was the one shot. He was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The deputy who pulled the trigger has since been placed on administrative leave in accordance with the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office policy.
KSAT reached out to the Lake Jackson Police Department and the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office for more information, but neither agency has responded at this time.
The shooting investigation is being led by the Texas Rangers, according to a Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office news release.
