Gumbo enters the game in left field for the seventh.

It’s driving me crazy that UC Davis players caps keep falling off. The pitcher last night was especially annoying.

Find a cap that fits or make them wear a chin strap. 

Volantis allows a walk and then puts a runner on base with a throwing error while trying to clean up a sacrifice bunt situation.

Good pick and an even better throw by Becerra. He got a good read on a short chopper and made the throw home in plenty of time to keep Lee from scoring.

It's first and third with one out for Petersen.

Volantis' eighth strikeout of the game ends the seventh.

M7: Texas 7, UC Davis 1

Arod flied out to shallow center. Don’t like his reaction after his swing. Hope it was nothing.

Two on, two down for Borba. Mendoza and Robbins walked and stole their way into scoring position.

Mendoza scores on a passed ball. It's an 8-1 lead for the Longhorns.

Borba grounds out weakly to short to end the inning.

End of 7: Texas 8, UC Davis 1

Volantis is done. Michael Winter is the new pitcher for Texas.

Winter works around a one-out walk thanks to Borba's second unassisted double play of the game.

M8: Texas 8, UC Davis 1

Presley Courville opens the bottom of the eighth with his first hit as a Longhorn, a single that finds its way through the middle of the infield and into center field.

What looked like for-sure out off Becerra's bat is misplayed in center field by Howard.

Courville scores and it's a 9-1 lead for the Longhorns.

It's scored an error, no RBI for Becerra.

Becerra is on third with Pack up. Texas can walk it off with two runs in this inning.

Two outs with Becerra on third and Mendoza coming to the plate.

A bang-bang play at first base is under review.

The out stood as called on the field.

Winter is back on the mound to finish off the sweep.

A double and walk allowed by Winter have two on with one out for UC Davis in the top of the ninth.

Winter slams the door on UC Davis.

Game over. Series over.

FINAL: Texas 9, UC Davis 1

The Longhorns sweep the opening series of the 2026 season.
