Jonah Williams will make his 2026 debut tonight when Texas hosts Michigan State for the first of three games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The game is on SEC Network Plus with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m.

Let’s go Jonah! Big duty batting 5th behind Tinney. Gotta protect that man. 
 

Also you have to love Schloss’ commitment to the balance in the Lineup with the switching off of lefty and righty hitters. 

Riojas gets a groundout to second on his second pitch of the night. One down quickly in the top of the first with Riojas running his fastball up to 96 mph.

Ashton Larson's diving catch drifting toward the left-field line retires Ryan McKay. Two down in the top of the first for the Spartans.

Randy Seymour drives one through the left side of the infield and into left field for a two-out base hit.

An off-speed pitch gets Picot down swinging to end the inning.

M1: Texas 0, Michigan State 0

Big time! Not only a sharp start after last weeks not-so-sharp start, but there's a big dropoff in danger after their 2-3-4, and they won't be up again for a while!

Mendoza rifles one back to the mound. He's retired at first base to open things up for the Longhorns in the bottom of the first.

LOL

A bloop hit by Rodriguez gets him to second base after three Michigan State players watch the ball drop in shallow left. It's officially a one-out double for Rodriguez.

A balk puts Rodriguez on third base.

Two outs with Rodriguez on third base after Robbins swings and misses on a full-count offering.

Carson Tinney is in the box, already facing a 3-0 count, with Jonah Williams on deck.

Tinney got under an off-speed, flying out to left to end the inning.

Lets go Horns! 

End of 1: Texas 0, Michigan State 0

Riojas retires the first two batters of the inning and then battles back from a 2-0 count with three straight fastballs to retire the side.

Riojas is dialed!! Love the aggressive approach against the bottom half of the order

He is 95 on that last fb

Jonah Williams leads off the bottom of the second for his first plate appearance of the season.

Full count to Jonah. He took a 2-1 pitch that looked like he immediately regretted taking.

Jonah draws a leadoff walk.

Infield single for Borba. The ball took a fortunate hop. Everybody is safe. Two on with nobody out for Larson.
