as ready for Volantis on the O2. Got him. Swinging up top. 35 with eight homers on the year. Jimz off first. That one's in the dirt. Blocked. He's now off to second. And he will slide head first and stay there. Ball got away from Carson Tiny. Is gone in the dirt. Tenny, watch out for that bat. throws down to first and backto-back punch outs for Volantis dancing at third as Jimnz. NOBODY'S MOVING HERE. HE GOT HIM. A swing and a miss. And Volantis after giving up the leadoff single will walk off the mount having thrown 21 pitches. He strikes out three. Scolary has a lot of cut to the fast ball. So far we've seen a bunch of armside run
and this one is lifted to right field. Lia is out there and he is there to make the play. Angel Lia in right one out off the end of the bat. Mhm. That's a good one. That was a good one at 81 to lock him up. Rodriguez. This one's over the head of the shorts stop and that is thrown all the way to the wall. Robin scores. Pack Jr.'s going to score. Rodriguez delivers and the Horn jump on the board first with a clutch. Two out, two RBI double for Adrien Rodriguez. Playing for the Horns.
High chopper fielded by Scoleri. Has some time, fires, and he gets him. Berkeley. That's going to be a fair ball. Tenny right out in front of home. He is there to make an easy out. This is Nalivo and he sends one to right. That's going to get down. It's a little squibber and he's running hard to second base and he is going to get in there with a standup double. Hardly the exit velocity you're used to off the bat of Milwaukee. Maddox Maloney right back up the middle and they will throw behind Milwaukee. He's in a rund down and he is tagged out. Mistake there.
Great heads up play by Valantis. Puffing a little bit in the first too. It's It's muggy out there. And this ball is lifted up shallow left field. Pack is going out. Watch out. He holds on to it as he avoids a terrible collision with a shortstop. Rodriguez was right. The O2 and a swing and a miss as the strike out of Larson to start the bottom of the second. Trying to protect it. Who couldn't? This ball is hit hard right field with some carry. Borba blast. Casey Borba hitting in that second cleanup spot, the A pole. He hits his 18th home run of the season and the Horns got a three nothing lead.
The one he's off. That one is high. throw down and he slides in. Safe and Robin sends this one to deep right field. It sends Lia back short of the track, but plenty of time to bring in the fourth run of the game. The speed of Pendergrass, two stolen bases, leads to the fourth run. And the Horns put another crooked number up and cut. Demoted. 3-2. They got one to hit there. It's a two hopper to Smith at third. And Vigu wore a liner too. He came out of that game. That is a swing and a strikeout.
Number four for Valantis. Two-2. Off the glove of Tiny heading to third base. Still will be a throw, but sliding in safely is the very athletic Jimnz. Jackson looks at it. Swing and a miss. And he got him. Valantis needed to and he got to. Well, when all the chips are down, KP, you're going to go to your best pitch. Smith on the ground of second. Plenty of time over there for Bera, who fires to first. And Berkeley Mabius is retired. They had him on the ropes and Valantis is able to get off.
Okay, he is gone. Smile on his face. Just a quick conversation. Everywhere you look, younger players are making impacts quicker from a pitching standpoint. They keep drawing and he's he's leaning out there as Visera dozen stolen bases. Got him a chase down. That's a strikeout. And Scoleri benefits by the cot stealing pickoff. Another strike out back to big number 99. Maloney. That is a fair ball. Packs going over and it will be second and third as Maloney delivers a double.
Almost behind second base. He lands that one though. And that is another big strikeout with two on, nobody out. It's number six. Jimenez is gone. Volantis gets another, his seventh. A blow to their momentum on the ground of first. Smothered over there by Larson and he escapes again. And you don't see a lot of emotion out of Atlantis, but given the way things have gone so far tonight, it's just a group that feels very comfortable in the moment. Now they haven't gotten that big hit yet, but boy have they given Dylan Vanis a hard time. Mendoza on the ground is short. Smith, one out. Power hitter.
3-1. Right back UP THE MIDDLE. CUT OFF THERE. Great diving play. Cooney and he just threw it a little wide and Jackson was unable to hang on to it. But what an effort by Ryan Cooney at second. Senior in high school last year on the mound here in a 2-2. They will throw and that will end it. Good job right there by Jonah Barkoff against Carson Tenny with the exception of the Balk to make it five nothing. One two to Cooney right back up the middle and that is a wellplaced Bera and he throws him out. There's one down as wonderful home field. Yeah and has hosted a ton. called strike three and Mantis feeling it right now and you can tell the way he's strutting around out there with two
down here in the fifth. That one gets away from Tenny up with it. Fires high to third, but it's a letter high fast ball to Borba. They've been very aggressive on the bases. He is gone. Oranthis has come off the mound several times. fired up with his nine strikeouts and the zero that he has hung up through five on the ground fielded by Cooney. Pack can fly but he is thrown out. It's Thursday night 7 Eastern time. Basera, this one looks like it's headed to the gap and it is. It gets down. He's going to take two.
Temo Basera delivers after the season to see what should be done. This little golf shot into center. It's going to get down. That's going to be an RBI. He heads to second, puts the brakes on, brings in another one. And a really good night for Adrien Rodriguez who's got three RBI. 6 nothing Longhorns. Crowd anticipating something big and they get a big high fly into shallow left field and he's out there to make the play on one pitch. Borba flies out and the night seven zip home team and Robins that was held on to he's gone. Frustration for Aiden Robbins elation for the rest of the Longhorns. They lead it 7 nothing through five in a two- count with runners on second and third.
That's going to be a shot down the line. Heading over there, Robins. He's not going to be able to cut it off. And now it gets lost in the corner. And boy, I don't think Maloney really noticed that he was chasing it. He's into second with the leadoff double. And again, careerhigh in pitches for Volantis. The next one got him way out of the zone with a strikeout. It'll be the third of layup. and Rodriguez having a big night already. Swings and lifts one to fairly deep center field. The wind is pushing it. Pack will tag. He will come in. Diving into third safely is Bera. And Adrien Rodriguez has a four RBI night. Half runs, it's 8-2. That ball labeled to left field.
KISS IT GOODBYE. IT'S OVER EVERYTHING. Massive shot from Mendoza. and Larson lifts one to right field. The crowd thought it was deeper than it was and it is caught out there by Lia. Boy, the bottom third of this order. It's a big hit or miss guy and he stares at one right down the middle from Harrison. He got that big strikeout to end the sixth and now leads off the seventh by getting Milwaukee. Harrison's 2-2. That ball is to center field. Pack got a read on it and he is there to make the easy play. Hit hard. Asera will go to first. Nice play for the out. They leave two more on base. The count rises to 16. Schleneagel
is getting into it with a home plate dump above that miss third strike. Nobody's been able to slow Texas down in the postseason just yet. 3-2. Barbara chases out of the zone. He is gone. A strikeout for Clark. Darien Pendergrass three times on and a squibber to third. He is now retired for the first time after a couple of walks and being hit by a pitch. Well, that is a ball that almost every time a left-hander hits would be a base hit. But it's an active bullpen pregame as well as during the game. That's a spinner for
a winner. Strike three. Robins caught looking. Second time he has struck out tonight. And we head to the eighth inning. Texas up by two. Uh 108 is the score. 10-2 is and it's fielded cleanly and will tag the runner out. Walls has got one down. Really special fast ball at the top of the zone. Super athletic kid. That ball has launched left field. Did Drew Smith just touch him all? He did. Pitch him and ditch him for Drew Smith. Brady Walls coming in from the bullpen throwing a bunch of breaking balls. guy when you see him in that batters box and he gets a hold of one. It goes another one of the six foot plus strong
guys and the wind leads that with a shorts stop Rodriguez for the second out. Tenny is able to make the catch that time and it felt like there was no way he was going to let that drop. Challenging night for the catchers. Good night for Texas overall. They lead it 103. You go bottom eight. Been to Omaha any more than Sch Sllos over the last 15 years. Tenny hard on the ground. One hopper for Smith and Tenny at the plate. We talked about Robins and Tenny. Robins reached twice with walks. Tenny has not been on base. He's the only Longhorn who hasn't reached base tonight.
Bera. That is a fair ball. Let's watch Pack run second base. Third base. Breaks her on there. Big night for Temo Basera. His second double. And they're looking to tack on more to a 10-3 lead here in the eighth. Fly ball about 320 ft from home. Center field. KP. Michael Mecca gets the job done. The fly out to left. Both runners advance. He gets the out. It'll take a run to make it 11. What do you got on Michael McNa? What an Omar kid. I know. Point South High School. Come on. What else
and Mendoza swings hard. This is a blooper into right. The second base went out. I don't think Lia had a good read on it, but Cooney makes the play. Last licks for the Ducks. They're down eight. We go to the ninth. Pitching next season. Paul strike three. Milwaukee was walking to first and now he's walking to his dugout. and down to their last out. He's got a righty too which means he's super dangerous. Hey now. Squared one up to center field. That one maybe almost got away from Pendergrass, but he's there to make the play. And the Longhorns take game one 11-3 and move within a win of a trip to Omaha.
