OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 3 Texas vs. UC Davis (Sunday)

[Jeff Howe]

Gumbo enters the game in left field for the seventh.

It’s driving me crazy that UC Davis players caps keep falling off. The pitcher last night was especially annoying.

Find a cap that fits or make them wear a chin strap. 

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis allows a walk and then puts a runner on base with a throwing error while trying to clean up a sacrifice bunt situation.

[Jeff Howe]

Good pick and an even better throw by Becerra. He got a good read on a short chopper and made the throw home in plenty of time to keep Lee from scoring.

[Jeff Howe]

It's first and third with one out for Petersen.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis' eighth strikeout of the game ends the seventh.

Arod flied out to shallow center. Don’t like his reaction after his swing. Hope it was nothing.

[Jeff Howe]

Two on, two down for Borba. Mendoza and Robbins walked and stole their way into scoring position.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza scores on a passed ball. It's an 8-1 lead for the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

Borba grounds out weakly to short to end the inning.

End of 7: Texas 8, UC Davis 1

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis is done. Michael Winter is the new pitcher for Texas.

[Jeff Howe]

Winter works around a one-out walk thanks to Borba's second unassisted double play of the game.

[Jeff Howe]

M8: Texas 8, UC Davis 1

[Jeff Howe]

Presley Courville opens the bottom of the eighth with his first hit as a Longhorn, a single that finds its way through the middle of the infield and into center field.

[Jeff Howe]

What looked like for-sure out off Becerra's bat is misplayed in center field by Howard.

Courville scores and it's a 9-1 lead for the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

It's scored an error, no RBI for Becerra.

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra is on third with Pack up. Texas can walk it off with two runs in this inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Two outs with Becerra on third and Mendoza coming to the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

A bang-bang play at first base is under review.

[Jeff Howe]

The out stood as called on the field.

Winter is back on the mound to finish off the sweep.

[Jeff Howe]

A double and walk allowed by Winter have two on with one out for UC Davis in the top of the ninth.

[Jeff Howe]

Winter slams the door on UC Davis.

Game over. Series over.

[Jeff Howe]

FINAL: Texas 9, UC Davis 1

The Longhorns sweep the opening series of the 2026 season.
