The previous record was 618 in 1985.

Greg Swindell set the single-season school record with 204 strikeouts that same year.

M9: Texas 16, Tarleton State 2

[Jeff Howe]

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Schloss is going to bring Connor McCreery into the game for his first appearance of the season.

Schloss wanted to get McCreery on the mound in the regional, if possible, as a reward for everything he's done for the program in his two seasons with the Longhorns. McCreery, who came to Texas from South Carolina with injury issues, made three appearances last season.

[Jeff Howe]

Ermis helps McCreery finish off a strikeout with a 2-3 putout, putting a fork in this one.

Texas heads to the regional championship tomorrow to face either Tarleton State or UCSB.

Tomorrow? Is it a double header for the winner between Tarleton State/UCSB?
