Borba ALMOST gets an oppo-taco. It's a flyout to the warning track in right. Becerra, who walked earlier in the inning, scores, making it 14-0.

Double for A-Rod on a hard-hit ball down the right-field line that just lands fair.

There's no need to burn bullpen arms. Volantis wouldn't pitch again in the regional, unless he were needed on Monday in a winner-take-all regional final.

Tonight's attendance is 8,276, the fourth-largest crowd in Disch-Falk Field history.

Tinney, who advanced to third on a groundout by Pack, scores on a wild pitch. Texas has a 13-0 lead with one out in the bottom of the sixth.

Tinney took a glove swipe to the face, legging out a double off the bullpen wall in right field. He's safe and OK physically with a leadoff double in the sixth.

The fifth pitcher of the night used by Tarleton:

End of 5: Texas 12, Tarleton State 0

Volantis retires the Texans in order in the fifth. Three hits and one walk allowed with seven strikeouts through five innings (70 total pitches) for Volantis.

Nice defensive play by Borba at third base for the second out of the inning.

Robbins grounds into a 5-4-3 double play, ending the top of the fifth. That's the first inning in the regional in which Texas has failed to score.

End of 4: Texas 12, Tarleton State 0

Rayner Heinrich's infield single and a walk drawn by Carson Lorch threaten to get Tarleton on the board. Volantis rallies through, recording sixth and seventh strikeouts of the night to get out of the fourth unscathed. This is one is all Texas through four complete.

M4: Texas 12, Tarleton State 0

Borba flies out to left, ending the inning with the bases loaded. Texas scores five runs on no hits. Even with 12 runs, the Longhorns have left nine men on base through four.

Rodriguez is retired in foul territory, ending the walk streak. Borba is up with the bases loaded and two outs.

You want to conserve arms as long as possible.

The new Tarleton pitcher:

After a visit with the trainer, Hardin's night is over.

The bases are loaded with one out for A-Rod.

Six consecutive walks drawn by the Longhorns. The 13 drawn tonight are a season high.
