Boise State and the Texas Longhorns were back at the Disch, as they played their second game of the three-game series. It was all Ty Madden in this game. His fastball was working early and mixed in his breaking ball well. He gave up just two hits and struck out seven on the afternoon.
The defense behind Madden was ready to play this afternoon. Cam Williams was ready to drop the hammer on opposing base runners with a few web gems again on the afternoon.
Flash that leather, @55theHammer! 🔨

Texas got the early lead in the first inning as Zach Zubia drove in the Todd who scored from second base on play. Austin Todd hit safely in his seventh-straight game. Todd was able to get in scoring position when he stole second base, Duke Ellis also added a stolen base for Texas.
Hometown kid Reagan Doss hit a home run in his first career at bat. Doss from nearby Round Rock, Texas and grew up a Longhorns fan. It remained tied heading into the bottom of the seventh inning when sophomore Eric Kennedy came to the plate.
