Galvan leads off the fifth with a single, but Flores grounds into a 5-4-3 double play. Nice snag by Snow at third base to get that double play started for Auburn.

[Jeff Howe]

Bottom of the fifth ends on a Gasparino groundout to third.

End of 5: Texas 4, Auburn 2

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison heads to the mound for the sixth with 75 pitches under his belt.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison hits Terrell to lead off the inning and gives up a one-out single to Carter. Two on, one down for Fralick.

That's it for Harrison. Schloss is coming to get him with the go-ahead run at the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Ethan Walker is on the mound for the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

Walker gets Fralick to pop up to Galvan in foul territory. Walker did his job. Schloss is making another pitching change.

[Jeff Howe]

Thomas Burns is coming out of the bullpen.

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino makes a sliding catch to snag Fabian's sinking liner into center field. The Longhorns get out of the inning with a two-run lead still intact.

Gasparino has been too quiet. He's due a tank to put the dagger in this one.

[Jeff Howe]

Back-to-back singles by Schuessler and Borba. Farmer comes to the plate with two on and nobody out.

[Jeff Howe]

Butch Thompson is arguing that Farmer should be called for interference. For now, it's a strikeout with both runners advancing on a wild pitch.

No review. The runners are safe. Thompson isn't happy.

[Jeff Howe]

There's an argument to be had for interference. Regardless, Jonah Williams is up with RISP and one out.

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah rips one 99 mph off the bat to center field. It's a two-run single for Williams and a 6-2 lead for the Longhorns.
