Moderators Jeff Howe Posted April 12 Author Moderators Posted April 12 Here's the recap of Friday's game, courtesy of Texas baseball SID Josh White: Second baseman Ethan Mendoza drove in four runs, as No. 2 Texas took the series opener over Kentucky, 6-3, on Friday evening at Kentucky Pride Park. Mendoza delivered a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh before plating a pair of tallies in the eighth to propel the Longhorns (28-4, 12-1 SEC) to their ninth consecutive conference win. After totaling a career-best five RBI on Tuesday, Texas' leadoff man has now driven in nine runs across two games this week. Mendoza's timely swings proved pivotal for the Longhorns, who used three arms to limit Kentucky (18-13, 5-8 SEC) to just one extra-base hit. Hurlers Jared Spencer, Max Grubbs and Dylan Volantis combined to strike out 14 Wildcats, one shy of Texas' season high. Spencer notched seven punchouts across 4 2/3 innings of one-run baseball. Grubbs (5-0) picked up where the Longhorns' ace left off, recording six strikeouts over 3 1/3 frames. Meanwhile, Volantis (8) tossed a 1-2-3 ninth, sealing the victory with a punchout. In the win, four Longhorns mounted multi-hit efforts, including catcher Rylan Galvan. Galvan added an insurance tally with an RBI single in the three-run eighth after a double in the third. The junior would come around to score the night's first run on a single from shortstop Jalin Flores. Texas will look to secure its fifth straight SEC series on Saturday, as the Longhorns and Wildcats meet at 11 a.m. CT. 4 Quote

Expand Will do, I love patern damascus. I have no intention of learning to bladesmith, but there's something beautiful about moving steel. We just don't make anything with our hands anymore. I'm a mechanic by trade, my next adventure is culinary school. Lol, I have a little money left on my GI bill. I can't cook so might as well learn. Quote
