Baseball: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 8 Auburn Game Thread (Saturday)

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns will attempt a series sweep of the Tigers at noon on SEC Network+. Jonah Williams will once again start in left field and hit eighth in the batting order.

Also, Adrian Rodriguez is back in the lineup and will start at second base in place of Jayden Duplantier, while Ethan Mendoza remains in the DH role.

Ike Irish just hit his fourth home run of the series. A two-out solo shot to right in the top of the first puts Auburn out in front.

After McMurray doubles to the right-field corner, Riojas gets Terrell to ground out to short to end the inning.

M1: Auburn 1, Texas 0

Have had enough of Ike Irish.  Just walk him rest of the game.

Galvan gets things going with a one-out double off the right-field wall.

Galvan gets things going with a one-out double off the right-field wall.

108 mph off the bat at the end of a 10-pitch at-bat.

[Jeff Howe]

It's first and third after Flores lines one to center for a single.

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino's shot down to third base goes off the glove of Snow. The error scores Galvan and ties the game, 1-1.

It's first and second with one out for Schuessler.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! Three-run bomb for Schuessler!

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler is red hot in this series. It's his second dinger this weekend, this one to left field, over the Yeti Yard.

Just like that, Texas has a 4-1 lead over Auburn in the bottom of the first.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! Rodriguez homers off the monster!

[Jeff Howe]

Looked like it hit off the batter's eye. The home run should stand.

[Jeff Howe]

The home run stands. Texas has a 5-1 lead. It's a 5-run bottom of the first for Texas and counting.

[SuperDave0805]

Offense is lethal 

[Jeff Howe]

Five Longhorns in a row have reached base.

[CJ Vogel]

Stay hot, Jonah Williams!
