I don't know if Rodriguez was trying to reach on a bunt or if it was a called sacrifice (I doubt it). Either way, Mendoza is in scoring position with one out.

Mendoza smokes a leadoff single to left. 108 mph off the bat.

M1: Texas 0, UC Davis 0

It's a six-pitch first inning for Volantis. He let the defense work behind him and retired UC Davis in order in the top of the first.

Volantis is working quickly. Four pitches, two outs.

Wooldridge weakly pops out to left on Volantis' second pitch of the game.

FWIW, Jonah took BP and was a full participant in pregame warmups.

Jonah Williams remains available to hit, but that's it.

The Austin Marathon has made traffic getting to the ballpark less than ideal.

The Longhorns go for the sweep on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Disch-Falk Field. Dylan Volantis is on the hill for his 2026 debut.

Today’s (Saturday) game has been moved back to 6:30 p.m.

He’s also playing right field, which Augie always said was the toughest position to play at Disch-Falk.

Anthony Pack’s high school field didn’t have a fence. He’s been working on playing balls at the wall and putting in a lot of work in the field.

Per Schloss, Jonah Williams was available to hit tonight. They’re trying to keep him healthy.

A run-rule win on opening night. It doesn't get much better than that!

FINAL (7): Texas 12, UC Davis 2

With the run rule in play, that's a walk-off home run for Mendoza!

BOOM! DOZA WITH A THREE-RUN BOMB!
