As a baseball casual, This turnaround is beyond amazing. The live game threads looked a lot different last season. 

[Jeff Howe]

Gumbo works a two-out walk. Mendoza up, looking for his first hit of the night.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza takes first base. Galvan is up with two on and two outs.

I imagine that going from getting your @$$ beat at home by UTRGV to #1 in the country is amazing even for baseball diehards 😂

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan strikes out to end the eighth.

To the ninth we go with Volantis coming into the game.

I concur.

End of 8: Texas 8, Auburn 3

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis gets Fralick looking. One down.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis has allowed a single and hit a batter. Auburn has RISP with two outs and Ike Irish up at the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

I don't expect Irish to see a decent pitch to hit after homering twice.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis hits Irish. The bases are loaded with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Auburn has the tying run on deck and Max Weiner is out of the dugout to talk to Volantis.

Felt very unnecessary to go to Volantis when Burns was cruising.  

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis retires Irish swinging to end the game.

Texas wins the game and the series.

[Jeff Howe]

FINAL: Texas 8, Auburn 3

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns move to 32-5 overall, 15-2 in SEC play.

[HornsUp Tom]

THATS A BAAAAAAAAD MANNNN

[VaHorn]

15 wins is huge.

I was feeling the same way, thank goodness it worked.

Lets break out the brooms Sat

Great series win.  Back half of the lineup came through.  Duplantier with his 1st SEC hit and Williams with his 1st, along with another, and 3 RBIs.

Jeff Howe comes aboard and Texas baseball gets rolling. Coincidence? Me thinketh not.

Jonah showed off his speed on a 6-3 groundout. He can book it, for sure.

Possible gunner this fall? Not sure there's snaps to be had a safety this year barring injury.
