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

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Only Ike has any RBI for Auburn.

Pisses me off that SECN almost never shows the tall flagpoles in the outfield. Such rank amateurs!

[Jeff Howe]

Aiden Moffett is on the mound, replacing Jason Flores. 

[Jeff Howe]

Moffett issues a walk and then allows a run to score from third on a wild pitch.

[Jeff Howe]

Moffett's first strikeout of his outing ends the top of the seventh.

[Jeff Howe]

M7: Texas 9, Auburn 2

[Jeff Howe]

Junior righty Hayden Murphy is the fifth pitcher of the day for Auburn.

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah leads off the seventh, looking for his fifth hit of the weekend.

He got it. He went the other way for a single to left. 

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! Borba goes deep to left!

[Jeff Howe]

Borba left the yard, over the visiting bullpen, onto the street. The two-run shot makes it an 11-2 game.

Texas dominating a good Auburn squad

Evel Kneivel would love this team.

Run rule these farmers!!

[Jeff Howe]

Regarding Jonah's bunt single earlier, having a left-handed speedster in the lineup who can bunt is a tremendous weapon. Jonah could be the new Eric Kennedy bunt single specialist.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza reaches on an error, Galvan draws a walk and Auburn is going back to the bullpen.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

One has to wonder in retrospect how instrumental Schlossnagle was in getting Williams to Texas.   🤔

Texas has runners on first and third with two outs. Schuessler is up, trying to end it in walk-off fashion.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! SCHUESSLER GOES DEEP!

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler homered over the Yeti Yard. The three-run shot is his second bomb of the day, giving the Longhorns a walk-off win to secure a series sweep of No. 8 Auburn.

[Jeff Howe]

F/7: Texas 14, Auburn 2

[SuperDave0805]

Walkoff Baby Break out the brooms!

[PinchPullPancake]

That’s how you call ball game.

[syracusehorn]

Is that back-to-back sweeps of top 10 teams?

[Jeff Howe]

That's the second time in three weekends Texas has swept a top-10 team. The Longhorns move to 33-5 overall, 16-2 in SEC play.

Yes sir. 4 SEC series sweeps so far.
