Blake responded to my question in Coffee and Football that they were working on something.  Someone posted on Twitter that the game was 9-3.  Supposedly no stats were kept, but someone posted updates on Twitter during the game.  It appears that the new guy from the Northeast that batted over 400 last year and won the batting title at Cape Cod this summer had three hits (2 doubles) and 5 RBIs (Aiden Robbins).  A lot of guys pitched and most did really well.

Longhorns score seven unanswered runs to cruise past Red Raiders, 9-3

ROUND ROCK, Texas — The Texas Longhorns opened their fall slate with a 9-3 exhibition win over Texas Tech in a 12-inning contest at Dell Diamond on Saturday afternoon.

Texas mounted six unanswered tallies across the fifth and sixth, highlighted by a pair of two-run doubles from Aiden Robbins. Robbins also kickstarted the offensive outburst with a run-scoring single in the first, finishing 3-for-4 with five RBI.

Following a standout freshman campaign, Adrian Rodriguez picked up where he left off, reaching safely four times. Rodriguez tallied three hits and plated two runs across the nearly five-hour affair.

With the Longhorns and Red Raiders tied in the fifth, Rodriguez delivered a go-ahead RBI single. Two batters later, Robbins notched a two-run extra-base hit to extend the lead to 5-2.

The next inning, Texas padded its advantage thanks to a bases-loaded walk and another two-RBI double from Robbins.

The six-run cushion was more than enough for the Longhorns' pitching staff, which held the visitors to only three runs on seven hits.

After yielding two tallies in the third, Texas held Texas Tech scoreless over the next eight frames, including four straight hitless innings. Freshmen Brett Crossland, Brody Walls, Sam Cozart and Brady Westphal combined for five strikeouts over that stretch.

Overall, the Longhorns used 13 different hurlers, with the first 11 arms all tossing one frame apiece, as scheduled.

Left-hander Cal Higgins logged the win, punching out a pair in a shutdown fifth.

Up next, Texas returns home to host Lamar on Oct. 3. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

I was there working in the Dell Diamond control room! 
 

From what I can remember these are my takeaways:
 

Aiden Robbins must have liked the walk up song I picked for him.

Tinney has real pop. Almost homered to deep left center field but was off the Dell Diamond wall. Notched a base hit through the left side that would’ve taken someone’s arm off. 

Temo Becerra will be a fun watch.

We grounded into 3 double plays 

Also 12 innings is a lot of baseball to play lol. 
 

UT wanted to play 9 innings, tech wanted to play 15 innings 🫩. Met in the middle and played 12.
