The No. 19 Texas Longhorns (4-4) recently concluded a four-game series vs. the BYU Cougars and followed it up with hosting the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders. In what was the most dominant performance from Texas so far this season, the Longhorns won big by a score of 12-1.
Texas only allowed two hits all game long and even went five straight innings before giving up the lone run. At that point, Texas already had 10 runs on 12 hits, led by players such as Mike Antico (a home run while batting .400), Zach Zubia (2 RBI’s while batting .750), Mitchell Daly (3 hits while batting .600) and Trey Faltine (2 RBI’s while batting .333).
Meanwhile, Texas had three different pitchers throw 38 or more pitches: Kolby Kubichek, Justin Eckhart and Dawson Merryman.
Kubichek pitched 3.0 innings, giving up only one hit and one walk with four strikeouts on 38 pitches. Eckhart pitched 2.0 innings and walked three batters, but only gave up one run on 38 pitches. Dawson also only pitched 2.0 innings and walked three batters, but didn’t allow any hits or runs.
Texas will play Wednesday in San Marcos vs. Texas State in preparation for a weekend series in Houston against the Cougars. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 pm on Longhorn Network.
