Texas Baseball: Longhorns Lose Game 4, Win Series 3-1

The Texas Longhorns end series vs. BYU, losing game four. Winning the series 3-1.

The Texas Longhorns (3-4) followed their one-sided win against BYU yesterday in game three with a disappointing loss in game four. The BYU Cougars (3-5) finished the series with their only win by a final score of 5-4.

The Longhorns started out strong, going five innings with a shutout lead and up by four runs. However, an active five-run sixth inning for BYU turned out to be too much for the Longhorns to overcome.

Despite solid performances from Douglas Hodo III, who started off the game with a one-run home run in the third, and Cam Williams with a two-run home run in the fifth, it wasn’t enough to overcome a disastrous sixth inning.

BYU knocked in five runs on five hits with two men left on base before the side was retired.

From that point, no more hits were allowed by either team and the strenuous sixth inning is what kept the Longhorns from a series sweep, giving Texas their fourth loss of the season.

The team returns to the diamond on Tuesday with a one-game series against Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CST and will be televised on the Longhorn Network.

With Cam Williams on second, Douglas Hodo II drove a ball right up the middle to bring the hammer home to extend the lead to four. In the sixth inning, Texas loaded up the bases once more and scored two runs without the benefit of a hit for with one. Brendon Dixon walked to bring D.J. Petrinsky home. Murphy Stehly flied out to right field but Trey Faltine scored on the sacrifice fly. With three inning remaining in the game the Longhorns were up 6-0.

Texas Baseball: Longhorns Outlast UTSA to Stay Perfect

The Texas Longhorns stay perfect after riding a five-run fourth inning to help them to a 6-2 victory at the Disch.

The Texas Longhorns returned home for their first baseball game of the 2020 season at DischFalk Field in Austin. The Longhorns fell into an early 2-0 hole against the UT-San Antonio Roadrunners heading into the bottom of the fourth inning. Cole Quintanilla was on the mound and gave up just one earned run in four innings with five strikeouts.

In the bottom of the inning, the Longhorn bats came to life. With runners on the corners and one out, Trey Faltine would drive in the Longhorns first run of the game.

Texas would go on to take the lead with catcher Silas Ardoin would get his first hit as a Longhorn and it was a big one, driving in two more runs on a double.

But wait, there’s more. With runners on second and third, the man they called the hammer, Cam Williams came to the plate looking to do more damage. He hit a two-run double to left field to plate two more Longhorns. Williams was thrown out at third going for the triple to end the inning. The damage was already done and Texas led 5-2 after a five-run inning.

Texas didn’t just show off the bats in this game as they were able to show off the leather as well. In the sixth inning, Faltine scooped up the ball from deep in the hole and fired it to first to get the out. Great throw by Trey and even better scoop by Zach Zubia.

Tristan Stevens and Pete Hansen would pitch the remaining five innings of shutout baseball for Texas. They gave up a combined five hits over that span. Stevens would pick up the win and Hansen with the three-inning save. For the play of the game, that came from Austin Todd who gunned down a runner at the plate to end their scoring threat in the seventh inning.
