I agree with Blake and a few others in the thread. The short of it is, Texas played a sloppy game against a good team. That’ll get you beat this time of year. The injuries/issues we’ve talked about for the last six weeks or so are finally catching up with the Longhorns. The pitching staff, for instance, had no margin for error when Spencer went down. Texas needed Luke Harrison to eat innings and for the defense to play well behind him and protect a five-run lead. Neither of those things happened. The Longhorns can get to Monday, but it’ll take much cleaner baseball with the timely hits that haven’t been there lately to get the job done.

I vote for Rod Wright‘s torso carrying him into the end zone against the Sooners!

Schloss said Riojas will get the ball against K-State and they'll go from there.

I think the number is 83% of the time, the team that starts 2-0 wins the regional.

UC Irvine was a regional loss. They had to play that one at Dell Diamond because Disch-Falk was under construction.

We’ll see what Schloss says about the pitching plan for tomorrow. It’s a rough outlook, to say the least.

Now you've gotta win three games in two days to keep the season alive. Not an ideal scenario.

The Longhorns face Kansas State at 2 p.m. tomorrow in an elimination game.

FINAL: UTSA 9, Texas 7

Belyeu looks at strike three. Sums up tonight.

Galvan walks to keep the inning alive. Max Belyeu is 1-for-4 tonight with two strikeouts. He represents the tying run.

Owens, with his sixth K of the night, brings the Longhorns down to their last out.

He was 2-for-3 with a walk before that last AB.

Borba pops out to second. One down.

Defense, baserunning and situational hitting get F-minuses for the Longhorns tonight.

Borba, Mendoza and Galvan are due up in the ninth.

M9: UTSA 9, Texas 7

Taussig gets picked off, but UTSA gets a critical insurance run in the top of the ninth.

RBI bunt single by Taussig. UTSA has a 9-7 lead.

A 4-3 groundout advances the runner to third. UTSA has another run 90 feet from home plate with two outs.

Man, I would not trade places with Jalin Flores for all of the money in the world right now.

Vanderbilt lost to Louisville tonight, 3-2. We're three outs away from the top two national seeds facing elimination on Sunday, needing to win twice to fight another day.

That's the end of Jonah Williams' night. Tommy Farmer is in the game as a defensive replacement in left field.

Jonah looks at strike three again. That's 13 runners left on base tonight for the Longhorns.

Belyeu, Flores and Gasparino: 1-for-13 with six strikeouts
