End of 5: Texas 7, UC Davis 1

Grubbs is out of the bullpen to work the sixth.

[TrouperG]

Thank God Baseball is back.  I know I missed plenty in the thread but listening to the game on radio with Craig Way almost makes me wish I could watch live.  I also wanted to put in my two cents regarding Jonah Williams.  Last year you could see his potential in baseball and see that he was having fun.  I know most are diehard football fans but you can't fault a teenager for trying and succeeding to have a good time playing sportsballs.

[Jeff Howe]

Final line for Riojas: 5 IP, 3 hits, 1 run (earned), nine Ks, BB, 1 HBP on 78 pitches

[TrouperG]

Ahhhhh yes Maximus Winthorpe Grubbs the Sixth or Seventh

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra gets Grubbs out of a two-on, one-out jam with a 5-3 double play to end the top of the sixth.

The Longhorns go down in order in the bottom of the sixth. RHP Keenan Anzai gave UC Davis a lift out of the bullpen.

Damn im glad baseball is back! 🤘

[Jeff Howe]

A walk and a wild pitch by Grubbs put a runner in scoring position. Robbins couldn't catch up to a drive to left-center by Wooldridge, scoring Hirschkorn from second.

It's a 7-2 lead for the Longhorns, two outs and a runner in scoring position for UC Davis in the top of the seventh.

Grubbs strikes out Howard to end the inning.

Texas has an 8-2 lead.

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra drives one to left. Gumbo scores easily from second on a single by Becerra.

It's a 9-2 lead for the Longhorns. Becerra is on second with no outs and Pack is up, looking to build on a 2-for-2 night.

[Jeff Howe]

Wooldridge was unable to make a sliding catch on a high, looping hit to left by Pack.

Texas has a 9-2 lead with two on, nobody out and UC Davis is making a pitching change.
