The Texas Longhorns returned to the Disch to take on the Boise State Broncos in their series finale. Late in the game it was all about the heroics of third baseman Cam Williams as he lived up to his nickname of the hammer.

Coy Cobb took the mound in the final matchup of the weekend against the Broncos, pitching into the sixth inning. Cobb pitched well enough to get the win but unfortunately for him, the Broncos put up a fight. Zach Zubia got the Longhorns started on the scoring with a sacrifice fly that brought Duke Ellis in for the first run of the game.
During the second inning, starter Dawson Day found himself in some trouble. With Williams and Douglas Hodo III on the bases, leadoff hitter Austin Todd drove them in with a double. Texas took a 5-1 lead into the sixth inning before the wheels came off. Cobb would leave in the sixth without recording an out.
Tristan Stevens would sit down all three batters faced but would allow a run to Cobb’s record. Boise State added another run in the seventh. In the top of the ninth inning BSU’s Geon Hyoung Kim blasts a two-out two-run home run off Donny Diaz to tie the game at five. After Mason Bryant got the final out in the ninth, Dawson Merryman retired the Broncos in order to get to the bottom of the 10th.
You know the rules, you hit the walk off home run and teammate Ellis takes care of the rest.
Hit the walk-off, get the pie to the face. Thems the rules. pic.twitter.com/uqvK10QBb4
