A true outcome hitter, if ever there was one.

M1: Texas 1, Tarleton State 0

Borba chases outside and Wendel minimizes, with the Longhorns scoring a run but stranding two in the first.

6-9, 240

Wendel is up to 24 pitches in the inning.

Wendel got A-Rod twisted up. Two on, two down for Borba.

Temo Becerra's 200th career hit is an RBI single through the right side. Robbins scores from second and Texas has the early lead, 1-0.

I don't. You can't get one of your biggest guns ejected and suspended.

Wendel gets Pack to pop out in the infield.

Tinney was hit and he's not happy about it. Got him in the helmet. That makes it two on with no outs for Pack.

Robbins works a leadoff walk. The crowd is fired up.

Texas is the visiting team tonight, so the Longhorns are batting first.

Just ran into Trevor Goosby and his dad while making my way up to the press box. This is the place to be.

For the second year in a row, Texas is in the winner's bracket of the Austin Regional, facing a team it lost to in a midweek game during the regular season. This year, it's Tarleton State, which beat the Longhorns 6-1 on March 17 at Disch-Falk Field. Texas will send Dylan Volantis to the mound against the Texans, who will counter with 6-foot-9-inch, 240-pound RHP Ethan Wendel (6-3, 5.64 ERA). The game will be streamed live on ESPN Plus.

Very!

It’ll be Tarleton State against Texas tomorrow night. The Texans beat UCSB, 11-5.

Hopefully, we can get back to football.

Blind squirrels, nuts and whatnot.
