The No. 19 Texas Longhorns (7-5) finished their three-game series against the Houston Cougars (7-4) on Sunday.
They went into game three with the series tied at one game each, where both games were low-scoring affairs with one point differentials. Texas made sure to end the series on a much different note, winning game three by a score of 8-2 to win the series.
The Longhorns took an early 4-0 lead in the first inning. The Cougars were able to keep them shutout for the next two innings until a three-run fourth inning basically put the game away. Houston was never able to recover.
Trey Faltine had a great game at the plate hitting .500 on four at-bats with two RBI’s. The cherry on top was Faltine’s home run in the ninth inning to put the game away.
Kolby Kubichek (2-1) got the win pitching 6.0 innings and allowing two runs on five hits with an impressive nine strikeouts (99 pitches).
Texas will have a one-game series against Sam Houston State on Tuesday. The game is live from Austin with the first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Longhorn Network.
