End of 7: Texas 8, Michigan State 1

The Longhorns go down in order in the seventh. It's still a seven-run lead for Texas heading to the eighth.

CDC is the best! Fellow New Mexican.

Two down after Gumbo flies out to center.

Borba's second strikeout of the night, this one on a check swing where he went around, leads off the seventh.

Stewart is like Hank Aaron at the plate!

M7: Texas 8, Michigan State 1

This baseball team is fun to watch.

Thomas singles, but Winter gets Williams to ground out to second to end the seventh unscathed. Two hits, but no runs with two left on for the Spartans in the seventh.

Defensively, Texas has played a much cleaner game today than at any point through the first four.

Winter allows a leadoff single. A strikeout and a 6-4 fielder's choice make it one on with two outs and the Spartans getting ready to bring the top of the order back to the plate.

Final line on Ruger Riojas:

Freshman Michael Winter is out of the bullpen to work the seventh, replacing Ruger Riojas.

End of 6: Texas 8, Michigan State 1

Two runs on three hits with two left on in the Texas sixth.

The bottom of the sixth ends with Jonah Williams striking out swinging.

Texas is in the middle of its third consecutive multi-run inning.

Tinney draws a walk, putting runners on first and third with two outs for Jonah Williams.

Righty Kyle Rudolph gets Robbins to ground out to short. It's an RBI groundout with Mendoza scoring to make it an 8-1 game.

I guess my point was more why are they even replacing Larson there. Might be losing something defensively and don’t really gain anything offensively.

I know it’s early and easy to praise a team that’s playing well tonight, but this team is better than last year’s team and I think it’s by a lot. May or may not win the league again but this team is deep and dangerous.
