Two good ABs in a row for Borba is a good sign hopefully 

For sure! He can swing it, still sitting around .275, if he gets heated up…look out!

[Jeff Howe]

After almost running Texas out of the inning, Mendoza turns a stolen base at third into a run when Krodel's pickoff attempt goes into foul territory.

It's a 6-3 lead.

[Jeff Howe]

Robbins strikes out, putting the Longhorns up by three runs heading to the eighth and here comes Sam Cozart.

[CJ Vogel]

Sometimes the ball goes your way

mendoxa steals third after thinking ball 3 was ball 4, then draws an errant pickoff attempt to score. A HUGE additional insurance run 

[Jeff Howe]

M8: Texas 6, UCSB 3

Getting the run back for the interference call!

I'm glad we're winning, but our players are making weird, bone head plays.

I feel like Schloss is saying the same thing lol. 

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Was that foul ball of Pendergrass not fair?  It looked squarely on the third base line to me.

[Jeff Howe]

Not ideal.

Cozart allowed a single and then a double that was dangerously close to being a home run.

UCSB has the tying run at the plate with no outs in the bottom of the eighth.

[Alex Butler]

Is anyone else generally annoyed that this game isn’t on TV anywhere but ESPN+?!?! Come on we’re the number 6 team in the country for crying out loud!!

[Roy Hinojosa]

Burns was doing well 🫠

[Jeff Howe]

Borba makes the smart play, going to first, trading the run for an out.

It's a 6-4 game with a runner on second and one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Make it first and third with one out after Vargas puts one just out of reach for Becerra.

[Jeff Howe]

What an odd game.

[pinkman_90]

Don’t like throwing all of these sliders to hitters that can’t catch up with the heat.  

[Alex Butler]

Let’s get a double play ball and get out of this inning. 

[pinkman_90]

What a gift 

[CJ Vogel]

That’s going to be a silent walk into the dugout …

[Jeff Howe]

That was supposed to be a double steal. Instead, UCSB runs itself into the second out of the inning. Huge break for Texas.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendez flies out to left.

UCSB made Cozart sweat, but the Longhorns have a two-run lead and are three outs away from winning the regional.

[Jedi Master Bevo]

If they had the ABS system in this game, Tinney might have a concussion 

[texcoyote15]

Let Volantis throw the 9th

[Blackshan]

Jeff this game has really been a weird one. Annoying more like it!
