Hello, all you beautiful people. This is Matt Marin, Austin, Texas. Welcoming you to this edition of the Texas All Sports Podcast, where we keep you posted on all the Texas Longhorn sports. I hope you're well. As we're looking to do for you every Monday, we're going to cover the happenings of the weekend and take a look at what's on tap for this coming week. And during this past weekend, the Longhorns had eight different sports in action on the track, on the court, on the field, and on the water. They included number one men's tennis and number six women's tennis in their last matches of the regular season. Number two, women's rowing was in their second of three dual matchups before the SEC Championships. Number one, women and number two men's track and field sent eight athletes to compete in College Station, Texas. Number four, women's softball was home at Brett McComas Field to host a number two ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the nation's premier weekend series. And number two, men's baseball followed track and field to College Station to take on the Aggies. We'll cover the sports in that order, and after the weekday wrap, we'll take a look at what's on tap for this coming week. So starting with number one men's tennis, they were hosting the 18th ranked Florida Gators at the Texas Tennis Center. It was the final match of the regular season and a chance to secure the SEC regular season championship as we head into the SEC tournament next weekend. Men's tennis came in at 20 and 6 overall, 11-2 in conference. They were in first place, one match ahead of number six Mississippi State and number eight Texas AM. Florida went into the match 14 and 11 overall, 5-7 in conference. And so with college tennis, the format is they play three doubles matches. Whichever team wins two out of three of those matches gets one point, and they carry that point into the six singles matches that are all played at the same time for a total of seven points overall. Whichever team gets to four points wins the match. And so we'll start with the doubles matches, and in the doubles number one for the Horns, it was Colin Ivanoski and Abo Forger. It took on Henry Jefferson and Tanopat Nurendorn. They actually didn't finish their match because the other two matches finished before them and they were won by the same team. So in the doubles number two, it was Sebastian Gorsny and Lucas Marino of the Horns taking on Adita Ganasan and Pablo Perez Ramos. The Horns took the match 6'4, and in the doubles number three, it was Sebastian Erickson and Oliver Ojakar for the Horns, taking on Lorenzo Claverie and Kevin Andrigan. The Horns took that one 6'4. So with those two wins, they took the doubles, they took the doubles point, and were up 1-0 going into the six singles matches. Now the Intercollegiate Tennis Association ranks the top 125 singles players in the country. Playing singles number one was a senior from Austin, number three ranked in the country, Sebastian Gorsny. Lang singles number two was number 32 in the country, Colin Ivanowski, a freshman from North Macedonia. And singles number three was number 41 in the country, Sebastian Eriksson, a sophomore from Sweden. Singles number four was the 109 ranked Abo Forger, a freshman from the Netherlands. Singles number five was a senior from Sarasota, Florida, Jonah Braswell. And playing singles number six was freshman Lucas Mariano from France. And now let's look at the singles results in order of finish. And the first to finish was a singles number one with Sebastian Gorsny took on 103rd ranked Adita Gonassan. Gorsny won 7-5 in the first set, 6 love in the second set to put the horns up two points to none. The next finish was a singles number two position, and Colin Ivanoski played the 91st ranked Jeremy Jin. Ivanoski won the first set 6'4 and a second set 6'2 to take the match and give the Horns a commanding 3-0 lead. The next match to finish was Singles number 5, where Jonah Braswell was playing number 69 ranked Henry Jefferson. Jefferson took the first set 6'1, and in the closet took the second 7-5 to get Florida on the board, and Horns had a 3-1 lead. Then it was singles number 4 with 109 ranked Abo Fourger taking on number 56 ranked Pablo Perez Ramos. R.J. lost the first set 6'3, but was able to come back in second set, 6'1, and in the third set was able to close the door on Perez Ramos with a 7-5 win to take the match and put the horns up 4-1 and clenched the team victory. In a singles number 3, Sebastian Erickson was playing Lorenzo Claverie. They were tied at 2-0 in the third set and stopped playing when 4G clinched the match. And in a singles number six position, Lucas Marino was playing Kevin Endegrin. They were tied at 3-0 in the third set when Forger clinched it. So the Horns took the victory 4-1 and won the SEC regular season championship, defending their title from last year. Or you could say that since we've joined the conference, Texas won the men's tennis SEC Championship every single year. The Horns finished the regular season ranked number one in the country with an overall record of 21-6 and a conference record of 12-2. They're on a seven-match winning streak as they head into the conference tournament. And as regular season champions, they'll have a bye through both the first and the second rounds and will play their first match this coming Friday. We'll have more detail on the horns and the conference tournament later in the week. From number one men's tennis, we'll move to number six women's tennis, who this weekend played at number seven Oklahoma, in what was also their last match of the regular season. Texas went in 16-5 overall, 11-3 in conference. Number seven Oklahoma was 22-4 overall, 12-2 on conference. They had just beat the number two ranked team in the country, Texas AM, 4-1 in Norman on Thursday evening. So we'll start with the three doubles matches and we'll go in the order of finish. First to finish with the doubles number two match. For the Horns, it was Samu Dragdova and Krista McNeil. They were taking on the 15th ranked doubles team in the country, Aviolina Laskovich and Edda Mamadova. And the Horns took them out in a close set, 7-5. That was followed by the doubles number three match, where it was Esther Mary and Matilda Najol Carr of the Horns taking on Julia Garcia Ruiz and Salek Tip Unmong of the Sooners. Garcia Ruiz and Unmong were able to take it 6-4, and it was one match apiece with one match still playing. And that was the doubles number one match, which was Anastasia Abugnado and Elizabeth Ionescu of Texas taking on the number one ranked doubles team in the country, Roshin Galeni and Gloriana Nahom. It went to a tie break. The Sooners were able to pull it out seven points to five in the tie break to take the set seven six. And so Texas was able to take out the number 15 ranked doubles team in the country, but it wasn't quite enough as OU took the other two doubles matches, took the doubles point, and took a 1-0 lead going into the six singles matches. The lineup for the Horns in the six singles matches was singles number one, number 12 in the country, freshman from Italy, Anastasia Abognato. Singles number two was number 50 in the country, Esther Mary, a sophomore from Slovakia. Singles number three was Kristach McNeil, a freshman from Lyndon Hurst, New York. Singles number four was Elizabeth Ionescu, a freshman from York, Pennsylvania. Singles number five was Matilda Nijoel Carr, a freshman from France. And singles number six was Kate Mansfield, a freshman from England. And not playing in the match was the Horns top player, ranked number three in the country, Carmen Harea, who actually last played against Auburn on April 4th. And just like with the men, we'll go through the singles results in the order of finish. And the first to finish was singles number three, Kristacha McNeil, who was taking on the number 64 ranked player in the country, Julia Garcia Ruiz. Garcia Ruiz took the match 6'2, 6 love, and the Horns were down 0-2. Elizabeth Ionescu, playing in the singles number four position, was the next to finish. She was playing Chloe Noel, took the match for the Horns 6-4, 6-1, and they were down 1-2. The next match to finish was singles number six, where Kate Mansfield for the Horns was playing Gloriana Nahom for the Sooners. The Sooners took the match 6-2, 6-3, and the Horns were down 1-3, and they were in a position where they needed to sweep the three matches. They were still playing. So then it was singles number one, the marquee matchup, where his number 12 ranked Anastasia Abugnado of Texas, taking on number 10 in the country, Aviolina Alaskovich. Abugnado took the first set 6-2, and in a tie break in the second set, won 7-4. The Horns was still alive, down 2-3. There, it was singles and number two that finished next. With number 50, Esther Mary, taking on number 54, Edda Mamadova. It was a close match. Mamadova took the first set 7-6, and a second set 6-4. With that, the score went to Texas 2, Oklahoma 4, clinching the match for the Sooners. And singles number 5, it was Matilda Najo Carr was taking on Salektit Umwong. They were in the third set and stopped playing once the match was clinched. So OG got the victory, finishing the regular season on a hot streak, 23-4 overall, 13-2 in conference. They're in a three-way tie for first with Auburn and AM. Number six, Texas finished the season at 16-6 overall. They're 11-4 in conference, fifth place in the conference standings, and with that, they'll have the number five seed in the conference tournament. The Horns will have a bye in the first round on Wednesday and will play in the second round on Thursday. Look for a Texas men's and women's SEC tournament preview on Thursday. And next, we'll move to number two ranked women's rowing. The Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team won the Final Four and National Championship last Monday over Yukon. And their men's hockey team was in the Frozen Four national semifinal last Thursday. But we all know the biggest athletic event on a schedule for Michigan last week was their rowing crews matchup Saturday morning on Belleville Lake against the number two ranked horns. The crews were on the water at 845 a.m. Eastern, and that's 845 a.m. in Michigan in April. So the temperature was in the forties. Now the original plan was to have six races, four head-to-head races for eight-person boats, and two head-to-head races for four-person boats. They actually had kind of five and a half races. So Michigan rode four eight-person boats, Texas rode three eight-person boats. And so we'll begin with the eight-person boats where boat one for Texas rode to 2,000 meters in six minutes at 15.8 seconds. Boat one for Michigan was 17 seconds back. Boat two for Texas rode six minutes at 32.1 seconds. They were 15 seconds ahead of Michigan's boat two. And boat three for Texas rode against Michigan's boat three and boat four. Boat three rode six minutes at 51.3 seconds. They were 17 seconds ahead of Michigan's boat three and 19 seconds ahead of Michigan's boat four. They also had two races in the four-person boat. Texas's boat one rode seven minutes twenty four seconds, beating Michigan's boat one by twenty one seconds. Boat two for Texas rode seven minutes twenty fine seconds, five seconds ahead of Michigan's boat two. So Texas swept all five of the races, and after the high of winning the basketball championship and the hockey frozen four appearance last week, the Texas crew went up there and took the wind out of their sails. So far this spring, Texas roaming has won all four races they were in at the San Diego Crew Classic, all five races against number 24 Indiana University, and all five or five and a half races against number 19 Michigan. They have one more matchup before the SEC Championships in May, and that matchup is a big one because in two weeks, on Saturday, April 25th, the number two Longhorns will head out to Palo Alto, California and take on number one Stanford. That will definitely be the biggest test for them this season and may set the tone for the NCAA Championships. We'll have a preview on that matchup as it approaches. And from beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan, we will move to College Station, Texas. That's where men's and women's track and field sent a small contingent to take part in the 44 Farms Team Invitational last weekend. The Horns sent a total of eight athletes to the meet hosted by Texas AM. And we'll run through their results real quick. First, on the track in the men's 200, senior Logan Papelka ran 20.93 to get eighth place. Junior Wally Bathili ran 21.06 for 12th. And freshman Celia Melongo ran 21.45 for 21st. And the men's 400, junior Troy Mason ran a personal best 47.19 for 10th place. Onto the field, sophomore Gene Legoff was in both the women's long jump and a women's triple jump. She jumped 18 feet 7 inches in the long jump for 12th, and coming in with the eighth best triple jump in the country, she jumped 42 feet 11 inches, which was good enough for second. Next was the men's shot put where sophomore Shaquan Dunn took first place with a throw of 60 feet 10.5 inches of the 24th best in the country. Also, freshman Benjamin Shu threw 55 feet six inches, which was good enough for fifth place. And finally, there were three horns in the men's discuss throw. Freshman Benjamin Shu threw 182 feet 10 inches for fourth place. Sophomore Shaekwan Dunn threw 179 feet 10 inches for fifth place, and freshman David Drolamek threw 177 feet three inches good enough for seventh. Both the men's and women's teams will be back in action next weekend. We'll finish the wrap-up of the weekend by heading to the diamond for number four women's softball and number two men's baseball. And women's softball had a huge home series, posting the number two Sooners of Oklahoma. Texas went in 32-4, 9-3 in conference, tied for second with number three Alabama, and OU went in 38-3 on the season, 11-1, and alone in first place in the conference. Texas entered with a two-game losing streak, having lost 2-3 last weekend to then number 4 ranked Alabama, and Oklahoma came in on a five-game winning streak. They had run ruled Kentucky in all three games of their series last weekend. So let's jump right into game one on Friday, where the Horns went with their standard lineup of Reese Atwood at catcher, Katie Stewart at first base, Leanne Good at second base, Viviana Martinez at shortstop, JC Nichols at third base, Kaya Altmeyer in left field, Caden Henry in center field, and Ashton Maloney in right field. Katie Bennett was designated player. On the mound for the Horns was Tegan Cavon, a junior righty from Westmowen, Iowa, who was her 21st appearance, 14-2 record, ERA of 2.68, 124Ks, 30 walks, and 99 and a third innings. Pitching for OU was Audrey Lowry, a sophomore lefty from Pittsburgh, Indiana. It was also her 21st appearance of the season. Her record was 17-1 with a 2.08 ERA, 64 strikeouts, 15 walks, and 80 and two-thirds innings pitched. And in the top of the first, the Sooners jumped on us early. They led off with a ground ball single up the middle, followed by an opposite field line drive home run over the fence on left center to make it 2-0 before there was even an out. But pitcher Tegan Kavan settled down and got the next batters 1-2-3, including two strikeouts. In the bottom of the first, Caden Henry led off with a single over own, but the Horns weren't able to bring her around. In the top of the second, OU got runners on with a throwing error and a single, but Kavon kept them from scoring with the help of three strikeouts. In the bottom of the second, the horns went down one, two, three. So it was on to the top of the third where Sooners led off with a walk, but Kavon then shut them down, adding two more strikeouts to make it seven through three innings. In the bottom of the third, KD Bennett led off with an infield single to shortstop, but then the horns went down one, two, three. So it was still OU up 2-0 after three innings. Then they went into a rain delay, but luckily it was only 30 minutes and the game was back on. So it was the top of the fourth. Kavon got the Sooners out 1-2-3, including her eighth and ninth strikeouts. The Sooners got that single and home run to start the game, but since then, Kavon had been daylit. In the bottom of the fourth, Reese Atwood got a single. The Horns third hit the game, all of them singles, but then went down one, two, three. In the top of the fifth, Oyu got a one-out single and stole second base to get a runner in scoring position, but Kavon struck out the next two batters, her tenth and eleventh, to leave the runners on base. In the bottom of the fifth, Ashley Maloney led out the inning with a triple down the left field line, and the Horns were in business. The next batter, Katie Bennett, flat out the shallow wide field, and Maloney was cut down at the plate trying to tag up from third base, and there went the Horns' best scoring opportunity of the game so far. So it was on to the top of the sixth, and OU sent five batters to the plate. Unfortunately, one of them was Isabella Emmerling, who hit a solo shot to left field or home run to make it 3-0 seniors. In the bottom of the sixth, Caden Henry led off the inning with a single, but that was followed immediately by a double play ball back to the pitcher, and the Horns were unable to score. In the top of the seventh, despite being gifted three walks and a wild pitch, OU wasn't able to score as they had a base running error, a runner left first base early, and Kavon got the third out with a 13th strikeout of the day. So it was on to the bottom of the seventh, where after a second rain delay, and just to be clear, when I say a second rain delay, I mean the second of two rain delays, not a rain delay that lasted one second. Katie Stewart let off the inning with the walk, but the horns went down 1 2 3 from there. The last out actually was on a chopper to the right side that hit Katie Stewart as she was running to second base to end the game. So it was Texas, no runs on six hits with one error. Oklahoma with three runs on six hits and no errors. Errors. To me, the key stat was that the Horns got the leadoff runner on in six of the seven innings, four singles, a triple, and a walk, and weren't able to generate any runs. The Sooners didn't generate any rallies either, with one single and two home runs accounting for their scoring. Both pitchers threw complete games. Audrey Lowry of OU got the win, moving to 18-1. Tegan Cavon took the loss, moving to 14-3. So the Horns were looking to even out the series on Saturday in game two. Texas sent Hannah Wells to the mound, the freshman righty from Cohoma, Texas, was her 15th appearance. She had a record of 5-2, ERA with 3.31 and 36 innings pitched with 27 Ks and 17 walks. For the Sooners, it was Miali Cochino, a sophomore righty from Paula, California, her 19th appearance, 11 0 record with 1 save, 2.82 ERA, 54 and 2 thirds innings, 71 Ks, 18 walks. The Horns had the same lineup as Friday, except freshman Elisa Sneed was in left field for Kaya Altmeyer. In the top of the first, Wells gave up a leadoff single, but Reese Atwood threw out the runner trying to steal second, and it was a good thing as OU hit a double in the gap in right center but were unable to score. In the bottom of the first, Caden Henry led off with a walk, and singles by Katie Stewart and Viviana Martinez brought her around to score for the Horns first run of the series in a 1-0 lead. In the top of the second, OU came back to tie the game with a one out, opposite field home run down the left field line to make it one one. In the bottom of the second, the horns went down 1-2-3. So in the top of the third, Texas brought in relief pitcher, sophomore transfer from Texas Tech, Brentley Gonzalez. She's the lefty from Alito, was her seventh appearance. She had a 2-0 record, 15-23 innings pitched with 12Ks, five walks, and an ERA of 2.68. She gave up a walk, but then set the Sooners down 1-2-3. In the bottom of the third, Katie Bennett earned a leadoff walk, but was left on base. In the top of the fourth, OU got a leadoff walk, but catcher Reese Atwood picked off the runner at first base and the Sooners went scoreless. It was the second Oklahoma runner that I would have thrown out in the game. In the bottom of the fourth, Leanne Good had an infield single up the middle with an interesting play as the OU shortstop actually dove and got the ball but couldn't get up to throw it the first. So she tossed it to the second baseman while she was still on the ground. The second baseman caught it and threw it to first, but Good beat it out. Ashley Maloney bunted good to second base. Then Elisa Sneed legged out a bunt single, and JC Nichols hit an infield chopper single to score good and give Texas the lead 2-1 after four innings. In the top of the fifth, OU got a leadoff walk, followed by a single. This one was her 31st of the season, and it made the score 4-2 Oklahoma. In the bottom of the fifth, Texas got the leadoff runner on again with a Caden Henry infield single off the pitcher. Viviana Martinez grounded to the pitcher, but she couldn't field the ball cleanly, so Martinez reached on an error. Then Leanne Good hit an RBI single up the middle, scoring Caden Henry and getting the horns back to within one run at 4-3. The top of the sixth was scoreless for OU. The bottom of the sixth, the horns went down 1-2-3, the top of the seventh, OU went down 1-2-3, so it was on to the bottom of the seventh. OU brought in relief pitcher Audrey Lowry, who was Friday's starter, and the Horns had three outs to get one run. Katie Stewart smote the line drive to left field for a one out single to bring up Texas' all-time home run leader, Reese Atwood, as the winning run. Atwood hit a hard grounder to third base, and the Sooners were able to turn an around the horn double play to end the game. It was Texas three runs on eight hits with one error, and Oklahoma four runs with eight hits and zero errors. The win went to Mayale Gaucino, she's 12-0. The loss to St. Mali Gutierrez 5-1. The theme for the first two games was Texas getting infield singles and OU hitting home runs. And the fact the Sooners had seven runs in two games, all of them had come on home runs. So OU had won the first two games and would take the series, but there was another game Sunday afternoon. And oh what a game it was. The Horns went with the same lineup as game two. Back on the mound was pitcher Tegan Cavon following up on the loss in Friday's game in which he had 13Ks. And on the mound for OU was Sidney Brazon, a senior righty from Buffalo, New York. Record was 5-1, 44 innings pitched, 2.39 ERA, 25 K's, and 12 walks. So on to the top of the first where OU got a single and a walk, but struck out twice and got no runs. In the bottom of the first, the Horns were able to load the bases with two outs, with two walks and a single, but Ashton Maloney hit a dribbler back to the pitcher for the four shot at home plate for the third out. In the top of the second, OU went down 1-2-3. In the bottom of the second, after an Alyssa Sneed ground out, eighth hitter JC Nichols got an infield single, followed by ninth hitter Katie Bennett with a single up the middle to bring up leadoff hitter Caden Henry, who gave OU a little taste of their own medicine when she had a three-run shot to straightaway center field. It was her sixth homework of the season, and finally, the Horns were able to get a key hit with runners on base and had the lead 3-0. In the top of the third, OU led off the inning with a home run to right center to make it 3-1, and it continued 100% of OU's runs coming via homers. In the bottom of the third, OU Sidney Berzon started the inning, but they brought in relief pitcher Kirsten Deal, a senior lefty from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Texas got a single and a hit by a pitch in the inning, but left two more runners on base. In the top of the fourth, Texas got the first two batters out, but then gave up a single, another single, and then an error by JC Nichols on a ground ball to third base, allowed a run to score, and at Texas lead was down to 3-2. Also a note that after 17 innings of play, it was the first run OU scored that wasn't on a home run. In the bottom of the fourth, the Horns got a single by Caden Henry and a hit by pitch, but left two more runners on base. On the top of the fifth, OU went down one, two, three. In the bottom of the fifth, the Yang Good took the first pitch out of the park to center field to lead off the inning and give the Horns a 4-2 lead. In the top of the sixth, OU got a single to left center to start off the inning. The runner moved to second base on a pass ball and tagged up and went to third base on a fly ball to the warning track in left field, and then tagged the score on a fly ball to center field, and the score was four three Texas. In the bottom of the sixth, coming up second in the inning, Katie Stewart took a 1-0 pitch way over the wall in left center to push the Texas lead back up to two runs at 5-3. So it was on to the top of the seventh with a two-run lead and three outs to go. OU led off with a double, bringing up Kendo Wells and her 31 home runs, but Tigan Gavon got her to pop out the first base to dodge a bullet. However, OU did it again and the next batter took Texas deep over the right field fence to tie the game at five all. In the bottom of the seventh, OU brought in relief pitcher, Saturday's starter, Audrey Lowry, and the Horns went down one, two, three, so it was on to extra winnings we went. In the top of the eighth, after a walk to start the inning, the Horns brought in lefty Brentley Gonzalez to pitch for Keegan Cabon. OU hit a grounder that moved the runner to second base, then hit a single off the glove of Katie Stewart at first base, scoring the runner from second, and OU led 6'5. Texas then brought in Roddy Sitlali Gutierrez, who closed out the inning. So it was the bottom of the eighth, the horns were down one, three outs away from being swept. Coach Mike White decided to pinch hit freshman Hannah Wells for JC Nichols, and a good decision it was as she took an 0-1 pitch just over the wall down the left field line for a game tying home run. And after Katie Bennett pop-up to first base, Caden Henry got our infield single to bring up Katie Stewart. On a 2-0 pitch, Stewart launched, I mean launched a walk-off bomb that hit three stories up the graduate student housing building across the street. It's worth looking up that highlight. So in dramatic fashion, Texas took the win. It was Texas 8 runs on 12 hits with one error. OU six runs on nine hits with one error. The winner was Silali Gutierrez, she went to six and one. The loss went to Audre Lowry, she fell to 18-2. After being killed with the long ball in games one and two, Texas outhomered OU 5-2 in the finale. Caden Henry hit her sixth, Leanne Good hit her eighth, Hannah Wells hit her fourth, and Katie Stewart hit her 21st and 22nd. OU took the series 2-1, but the Horns ended on a high note. OU moves to 40-4 overall and 13-2 in first place in conference. Texas is now 33-6 overall, 10-5, and tied for fifth in the SEC. And now we'll keep it on the diamond with number two men's baseball and college station for a three-game series against the 18th-ranked Texas AM Aggies. Looking for that AM crowd to be wild as it was Coach Jim Slosnagel's first trip back to College Station since making the move from the Aggies dugout to the Longhorns dugout. Texas went in 27-5 overall, 9-3 in the SEC and second place, one game behind number four Georgia, who was at 10-2. Texas AM went in 25-7 overall, 7-5 on conference. Texas was coming off taking 2-3 from unranked South Carolina and a Tuesday win over in Carnett World, and Texas AM was coming off taking 2-3 from unranked Vanderbilt last weekend and a loss to Texas State on Tuesday. There was a stat in the broadcast that I liked, and that was that in College Station, the all-time series record is Texas 100 AM 73. So for the weekend, AM was hoping to get to the point where they would only be behind Texas by 24 games on their own home field. Also, Texas has been in the SEC one season and have one baseball conference championship. AM's been in the SEC 13 seasons, and with their Volunte baseball program, they have a total of uh uh zero. Texas went with the starting lineup they've been using most, while Adrian Rodriguez starting shortstop has been out with an injury. Catching was Carson Tinney, first base, Ashton Larson, second base, Ethan Mendoza, shortstop, Tamo Becerra, third base, Casey Borba, left field Anthony Pack Jr., center field Aidan Robbins, and right field Jaden Duplantier. On the mound in game one was Ruger Riojas, senior Brighty from Wimberley, Texas, record of 5-1, 2.74 ERA, 64Ks, 9 walks, and 42 and two thirds innings. For the Aggies, was Shane Sidal, a junior lefty from Montgomery, Texas, his record was 3-2 with a 5.48 ERA, 52 strikeouts, 9 walks, and 44 in the third innings. In the top of the first, the Horns got a Carstantini walk, but he was left on base. In the bottom of the first, the Aggies went down 1-2-3. On to the top of the second, Timo Becerra hit a ground ball single up the middle, but he was left on base. And at the bottom of the second, the Aggies got a single and a walk, but didn't score. The Aggies left two on base, but they were having good at bats, battling, fouling off pitches, and Rio House had 39 pitches in the first two innings. In the top of the third, Ethan Mendoza was hit by a pitch. Carson Tinney drew a walk, and Aiden Robbins hit a soft liner single to center field to load the bases with one out. Anthony Pack Jr. hit a sacrifice flat of right field, and then a right fielder who apparently has a gun for an arm, but we'll have to take people's word for it, because he threw a ball that bounced in the outfield before he even got to the dirt and was halfway between third and home plate. Very reminiscent of throws by Roman Anthony of the Red Sox right now, if you've seen those compilations. With the throw, the run scored easily, and the horns were up 1-0. The horns didn't add any additional runs, but Pitcher Shaddow of AM had 56 pitches through three innings, so Texas hitters were making him work too. In the bottom of the third for the Aggies, they hit a fly ball down the right field line that Jaden Duplantier never saw. So he just had to stand there and wait until the ball dropped before he could go after it. And it ended up being a triple. The next batter hit a double to left center for an RBI to tie the game at one all. Catcher Carcentini then mishandled the pitch, advancing the runner to third base, and a chopper hit to second base, scored him from third to make a 2-1 Aggies. In the top of the fourth, Ashton Marson hit a line drive single to center field. Jaden Duplantier reached on a fielder's choice, and Josh Livingston pulled a double over the first base bag into the right field corner to score Duplantier all the way from first and to tie the game at 2-0. AM's pitcher was up to 75 pitches. In the bottom of the fourth, the Aggies got a leadoff home run to left field on a breaking ball at the knees over the plate, and the Aggies were back up 3-2. In the top of the fifth, after a Carson Tinney walk, Aiden Robbins had an opposite field shot into the Longhorn bullpen over the fence in right field, giving Texas the lead four three. Next up was Anthony Pack Jr. who was hit by a pitch, and the Aggies, after 90 pitches, bottom relief pitcher, another lefty, senior Ethan Darden from Rock Hill, South Carolina. He put down the horns one, two, three. In the bottom of the fifth, the Aggies hit a shot down the line and left field. Anthony Pack Jr. was positioned way over towards left center, and it ended up being a rare triple to left field. A grounder to second base, brought under one from third, making it four all. On to the top of the sixth, and Jaden Duplantier hit a chopper to shortstop that he beat out for a single. The horns brought in a pinch hitter, Presley Corville, a freshman from Lake Charles for Josh Livingston. He sacrificed Bunt to Duplantier to second. Next up was Carson Tinney, who had seen Aiden Robbins go opposite field into the Texas bullpen and thought he'd give it a try, and he succeeded for a two-run shot into the Texas bullpen to give Texas the lead at 6-4. In the bottom of the sixth, the Haggies got a leadoff walk, and the Horns brought in relief pitcher Hayden Lafieu, a lefty from Canapolis, North Carolina, his tenth appearance, 2-0 record, 1.59 ERA in 11 and third innings with 20 K's and 5 walks. He walked the first battery faced, then walked the second battery faced to load the bases, and that was followed by a third walk to force in a run and make it 6'5. There were a lot of close pitches in there, and the few may have been squeezed a bit by the umpire. But with that, the Horns brought in another relief pitcher, Brett Crossland, our freshman righty from Phoenix, Arizona, his 13th appearance, 1-1 record, 13 and 2 thirds innings with 20 K's and just three walks with an ERA of only 1.32. So he came in with the bases loaded and one out, and it was a big spot. But the fastballs he was throwing were coming in high, and he walked in another run to tie the game at six all. That was followed by a flyout to right field for the second out, but it scored the runner from third base, and it was 7-6 Aggies. In the half inning, AM scored three runs to take the lead on five walks and zero hits. In the top of the seventh, Anthony Pack Jr. hit a line drive single up the middle to lead off the inning, but the Horns weren't able to get him around. In the bottom of the seventh, there was a walk, a ground ball single to right field, and a fastball to the helmet to load the bases with one out. The horns brought in relief pitcher, Heathen Walker, a junior sidearm lefty, fourteenth appearance, one-on-one record, ten and a third innings, nine strikeouts, two walks, two point six one ERA. He's from Ashburn, Virginia, and I don't think there's much argument, has the best mustache on the team. He got the Aggies to line out the left field, put a score through one from third base, and made it 8-6 Aggies. Texas came right back with another pitcher. It was Max Grubbs, a senior righty from Arlington, Texas, his 14th appearance, 2-0 record, 4.12 ERA, 21 K's, 9 walks. And he got the third out with a pop-up to first base. In the last two innings, Texas pitchers had given up six walks and one hit batsman to help the Aggies. At the top of the eighth, the horns went down 1-2-3. In the bottom of the eighth, Max Grubb struck out the first two batters, but then gave up a line drive single to right field. And then on a chopper to third base, Casey Borba bounced the throw to first. Ashton Larson wasn't able to dig it out cleanly, and another run scored on the air, making it 9-6 Aggies, but the hitter was thrown out, trying to take second. In the top of the ninth, after a Carson Tene strikeout, Aiden Robbins hit a drive to center field that kept on going and carried over the fence for his second home run of the game, and it pulled the horns to within two at nine seven. He was followed by Anthony Pack Jr., who hit a shot into the stands in right field for back-to-back home runs and it pulled the horns to within one at nine eight. Then Casey Berber grounded out to third base and Temo Bucerra flat out to shallow left field to end the game. So the ninth run for the Aggies that scored on the air in the bottom of the eighth definitely hurt the horns. But not as much as the seven walks and one hit batsman given up by Texas pitching, four of the batters the Horns walked, ended up scoring, and the Horns gave up two runs on walks with the bases loaded. The final was Texas eight runs on ten hits with one error. The Aggies, nine runs on seven hits with no errors. Starter Rugo Riaz went five innings and the Horns sent five pitchers to the mound. They combined for eight innings pitched, eight earned runs on seven hits, seven strikeouts, seven walks, and a one-hit batsman. But no reliever went over one and one-third innings, so all were available to pitch again over the weekend. The Horns had four home runs on the night, Aiden Robbins with his 12th and 13th, Carson Tinney with his 12th, and Anthony Patt Jr. his fifth. So on to Game 2 Saturday, he was the same starting lineup for the Horns. On the mound was pitcher Luke Harrison, senior lefty from Friendswood, Texas, as the ninth start, four-0 record, 2.72 ERA, 42Ks, 16 walks, and 43 innings pitched. For the Aggies, it was Aiden Sims, a sophomore righty from Fourney, Texas, 9th start, 6-0 record, 48Ks, 13 walks, 3.32 ERA, and 43 and 13 innings. And the top of the first, Heathen Mendoza led out the game with a double off the center fielder's glove and off the wall in left center. Carson Tinney flat out the right field, and Adam Robbins reached base on an error by the shortstop, scoring Mendoza and putting the horns up 1 0. That lead would be short lived. The bottom of the first started with a single up the middle, another single up the middle, a strikeout, and then a walk to load the basis. That was followed by a double down the left field line. It gives the Aggies a lead, two to one. Rain really started to come down, and at that point there was an hour and forty minute rain delay. But that hour and forty minutes wasn't long enough. When they got back to playing, the Aggies got a walk to load the bases and then a strikeout. So it was bases loaded, two out, and a two to one game. But then the Aggies got a double down the left field line to make it four to one. Then another walk to load the bases, and then a triple off the wall in right center, scoring three and making it seven one. Next was a double off the wall in right center, making it eight-one. The Horns brought in relief pitcher Max Grubbs, the senior righty from Arlington, Texas, who got the third out. On the top of the second, the Horns got a walk and a hit batsman, but left two on base. The bottom of the second, Aggies went down one, two, three. In the top of the third, Aiden Robbins got a two-out, solo home run well over the fence in left field, make it 8-2. In the bottom of the third, A ⁇ M hit a chopper to pitcher Max Grubbs, who airmailed the ball into the right field, and a batter ended up on second base, moved to third on a wild pitch that made it all the way into the Horns dugout, and then scored on a sacrifice fly. So the Horns gifted them one there, and it was 9-2. Texas then brought in reliever Brody Walls, a freshman righty from McKinney, Texas, his ninth appearance, 1-0 record, 6.08 ERA in 13 and a third innings, at 17Ks and 5 walks. And he got the final two outs. Top of the fourth, Horns went down 1-2-3. Bottom of the fourth, Aggies went down 1-2-3. In the top of the fifth, Joshua Livingston pulled a 1-0 pitch out of the park to right field for a solo shot to make it 9-3. Personten got a double into the gap in left center, and Aiden Robbins earned a walk, but after AM brought in reliever Gavin Lyons, a sophomore righty from Guilford, Connecticut, they were stranded on base. In the bottom of the fifth, Aggies went down 1-2-3, top of the sixth. Horns got an Aston Orson single, but nothing else doing. Bottom of the sixth, Texas hit the leadoff hitter who ended up scoring on a two-run homer that was hit well out of the park, the left center, and it was 11-3 Aggies. His sixth appearance, one-on-one record, zero ERA, eight K's, four walks, and six and two-thirds innings fetched. And despite giving up a leadoff single, followed by a balk, followed by another balk, the Horns kept AM from scoring when they threw the runner out of home plate on a grounder to third. In the top of the eighth, leading off the inning, Aiden Robbins continued his hot streak. He got hold of a one-two pitch and hit it over the wall in left center for his fourth home run in two games. The solo shot made it 11-4. In the bottom of the eighth, the Horns brought in another release pitcher, senior Cal Higgins, lefty from Kearney, Nebraska, eighth appearance, all-in-one record, 6.75 ERA, nine strikeouts, six walks, and six and two-thirds innings. He gave up a double and a walk, but kept the Aggies off the board. So we moved on to the top of the ninth, and the Horns were looking for a seven-run rally to tie the game, but they went down one, two, three. So the final was Texas, four runs on seven hits with one error. Texas AM, 11 runs with nine hits and one error. The win went to Gavin Lyons, who moved to 5-0, and the loss to Luke Harrison, now 4-1. The Horns sent five pitchers to the mound, eight innings pitched, ten earned runs, nine hits, six walks, one hit batsman, and four K's. Josh Livingston hit his third home run. Hayden Robbins hit his team leading 14th and 15th. The Horns dug too big of a hole in the bottom of the first. The Aggie Hatters did some good work at the plate, but the Horns gifted them six walks, a hit batsman, and a costly error, and weren't able to overcome that on the day. Sunday's game was canceled due to weather, so AM won the series 2-0. They improved to 27-7 overall, 9-5 in conference. Texas Falls to 27-7 overall and 9-5 on conference. And now the Aggies are only 25 games below 500 against the Horns on their own field. And now that we've wrapped up the action for the teams that are in season, let's take a look at the week on tap. First, we have number one men's and number six women's tennis. Both teams will be in Norman, Oklahoma for the SEC Championship Tournament Wednesday through Sunday. The ladies will actually begin play on Thursday, and the regular season conference champion men will have their first match on Friday. We'll have a quick tournament preview episode on Thursday. Next, we have number four, men's golf, who Monday and Tuesday will be at the Ford Collegiate hosted by Georgia Southern University. They're playing at the Ford Field and River Club in Richmond Hill, Georgia, which is just south of Savannah. The course is actually a parsivity. The tournament will be three rounds, with two played on Monday and a final round on Tuesday. Texas won the tournament last year when they were ranked number two, beating then number one Auburn. This year there are 12 teams in the field, including number one Auburn, No. Texas, number seven LSU, number sixteen OU, number nineteen Georgia Tech, number twenty-three Georgia, and number twenty six Notre Dame. In addition, the number one player in the country, Jackson Quaven of Auburn, will be there, as well number seven ranked Ryder Cowan of Oklahoma. Texas has four players ranked in the top hundred in the individual rankings. There's number 12, senior Christian Moss, number 17, senior Luke Potter, number 31, sophomore Daniel Bennett, and number 55, senior Tommy Morrison. This is the last tournament they'll play before the SEC Championships begin on April 22nd. And for men's baseball, due to weather, we weren't able to play the third game of the AM series in College Station on Sunday. So we're playing the de facto third game of the AM series Tuesday evening against Texas AM Corpus Christi. The Islanders are 16-19 on the season, coming in, having lost their weekend series against southeastern Louisiana two games to one. Texas is coming in 27-7 on the season. The game is Tuesday at Ditchbock Field at 6.30 p.m. It can catch it in-person or on the SEC Plus Network. Finally, number two men's and number one women's track and field will have part of their teams in action Thursday at the Brian Clay Invitational in Asouza, California. Brian Clay has the fifth highest score in a decathlon by an American all time, one spot ahead of Longhorn Trey Hardy. The meet is running Thursday through Saturday. With that being said, just a quick reminder that it's now been 919 days since Oklahoma last scored a touchdown against the Longhorns. Coming up, Tuesday, we'll cover the week of Longhorns and Professional Action in the Alumni Roundup. Thursday, a quick preview of the men's and women's tennis conference tournaments. And Friday, we'll wrap up the weekday's events and preview the weekend ahead. Thank you for joining us. Y'all be good to each other out there and hook 'em horns.
