FWIW, Ruger hasn't gone more than five innings since he went seven in the run-rule win over OU on March 26.

Two out walks🫩

Right up there with a false start on third-and-short and fouling a 3-point shooter as things that drive you nuts.

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas gets Clark to line out to first. Borba makes the snag to end the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 3: Texas 6, Tennessee 4

[Jeff Howe]

 

[CJ Vogel]

23 pitch inning but no damage for Riojas.

Just get as deep into this game as possible. 

[Jeff Howe]

Monsour strikes out on three pitches.

What would this lineup look like with a healthy Jonah Williams?

[Jeff Howe]

 

[Jeff Howe]

Pitching change for Tennessee. Lefty Will Haas will face Pack with Robbins (reached on a one-out single through the left side) on first with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Haas gets Pack to ground out to third to end the inning.

M4: Texas 6, Tennessee 4

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss in-game interview incoming.

The pucker factor will escalate quickly.

[CJ Vogel]

Not sure where that second pitch of the inning from Riojas missed

[CJ Vogel]

2 out hit by pitch 🫩🫩🫩🫩

This feels like a rinse and repeat of what happened last year. At some point, this goes to coaching. 

Good things usually happen when you abandon ship on something or someone.

[Jeff Howe]

Three flyouts get Ruger through the fourth.

End of 4: Texas 6, Tennessee 4

[Jeff Howe]

Two on, nobody out in the top of the fifth after Becerra draws a walk and A-Rod singles.

[CJ Vogel]

Bunt attempt from Borba goes nowhere, but the job gets done on a fielders choice to third. 
 

2nd & 3rd with one out

[CJ Vogel]

Not sure where ARod was going there. 

 

[CJ Vogel]

And duplantier bunts back to the pitcher who easily puts him away. 

Texas gets one in the inning though to extend the lead

7–4 Horns

[Jeff Howe]

M5: Texas 7, Tennessee 4

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas is done. Thomas Burns is on the mound.

You’re right, when I said Connor Stroh was horrendous, the coaching staff made a change. Thanks for proving my point, dope.
