I think Hudson Hamilton is the man up in the Texas bullpen.

Jonah Williams is done for the day. Tommy Farmer is in the game as a defensive replacement in left field in the top of the sixth.

End of 5: Texas 7, Houston Christian 1

It's a five-run, six-hit fifth for the Longhorns.

That's how a lot of midweek games against this type of opponent can go.

Dukta made a pretty bad read on Jonah's fly ball to left-center, but he tracked it down, making a sliding catch on the warning track to end the inning.

Righty Nick Ferazzi is the first man out of the HCU bullpen.

Base hit to left by Gasparino. Flores scores, making it an RBI double. Texas has a 7-1 lead, and Edwards is done.

The Longhorns are making good contact against Edwards in his third trip through the lineup.

Borba lines one to center. Rodriguez scores (with a slide at home that needs a LOT of work). Texas has opened up a 6-1 lead.

Flores is given a single by the official scorer.

Leiterman made a great play at third to field Flores' hard-hit grounder. But an awful throw allows Flores to reach with two outs.

Rodriguez rifles one back up the middle. Schuessler scores from second to make it a 5-1 game.

It's officially a two-run single to left by Kimble Schuessler with an advancement on the throw to the plate. Texas has a 4-1 lead with a runner on second and two outs in the bottom of the fifth.

The initial call stands and Mendoza is safe.

Schloss wasn't happy with Rodriguez for some reason. Not sure if it's because he was too close to the plate or because he signaled for Mendoza to slide.

Schuessler comes through with an RBI base hit. We're waiting to see if it's a two-run hit or an RBI single.

Belyeu hacks badly at a break ball. Two down, RISP for Schuessler.

It's now RISP with one out for Belyeu.

Galvan's fly ball to right isn't deep enough to get Williams home. Payne's throw home holds Jonah at third base.

Bard just saved a wild pitch and prevented a Texas run by going out to get that one.

Mendoza stole second, making it RISP with no outs for Galvan.

Texas has runners on first and third with no outs in the bottom of the fifth.

Mendoza pokes one into right field for a base hit. Exit velocity of 67 mph on that one.
