Credit the Longhorns for making things worth paying attention to in the ninth. It's a three-run frame for Texas after Becerra's RBI double to right (Chapman couldn't come up with a diving catch). Two outs and A-Rod is up with Becerra on second in a five-run game, 14-9.

End of 8: Tennessee 14, Texas 6
