A running catch in left, moving toward the gap, by Robbins ends the inning.
Volantis faces the minimum in the first and Texas takes a 1-0 lead to the second.
Volantis' first strikeout of the night needs a 2-3 putout to go down as an out.
Regardless, two away, nobody on in the bottom of the first for Tarleton.
Texas dodges a bullet. I thought his knee was on the bag before his hand came off, but it wasn't. That was about as close as it gets, but I think they got the call right.
For the second year in a row, Texas is in the winner's bracket of the Austin Regional, facing a team it lost to in a midweek game during the regular season. This year, it's Tarleton State, which beat the Longhorns 6-1 on March 17 at Disch-Falk Field.
Texas will send Dylan Volantis to the mound against the Texans, who will counter with 6-foot-9-inch, 240-pound RHP Ethan Wendel (6-3, 5.64 ERA).
The game will be streamed live on ESPN Plus.
