BOOM! BORBA BOMB!

Casey Borba's 10th home run of the year is a two-run blast to left field. Texas has a 6-1 lead over OU in the top of the eighth.

Now 6 to 1 after the Borba bomb.

Mendoza grounds out to end the inning, but two runs on the Borba dinger give Texas a five-run lead heading to the bottom of the eighth.

M8: Texas 6, OU 1

Now 3 outs.  Mendoza grounded out to first.  Going to bottom of 8th up 6 to 1

Borba  just hits HR when I least expect it.

Borba Bombs 🤘🏾

And no more Ks for now.

What are those noisemaker fans that the Gooners give their fans?  Never have seen that before anywhere.

He hasn’t hit for average but he does have power.  Too bad Farmer doesn’t have power.  He definitely has the size for it.  

Anybody know why Gaspo isn’t playing?

I love whoever is doing the color commentary with Toby Rowland trying to make a big deal out of Texas ONLY winning six national titles in 38 trips to the College World Series.

Not sure what the attempted flex there was, but... cool. I guess?

The discussion of Texas' national title history is pissing me off. It shouldn't, but I'm triggered.

These announcers trying to make a point that Texas has the most CWS appearances but only the third most wins. This clown needs to take care of his own house.

The color commentator is former OU baseball player Kendall Pettis, FWIW.

Gaspo came in, but I don’t know who came out.  Of course, these lousy announcers don’t update these things.

While Kendall Pettis was trying to talk down to Texas for only winning six national championships, Thomas Burns shoved the bat up the Sooners' south end, retiring OU in order in the eighth.

Rodriguez was lifted.

The SEC announcers should be put down after calling a game like this.

Had an OU fan tell me Texas has been to the CWS almost twice as much as LSU and USC but still have less titles than both so it's not impressive.

Now, tell them to look at OU football's national championships compared to Big 12 titles.

I'm guessing that'll shut it down.

It's an OU-based crew. The home team is responsible for the broadcast team for the SEC Network+ games.

Gasparino reaches on a 1-6 fielder's choice. One on, two down in the top of the ninth for the Longhorns.

Rodriguez is still in???
